This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Metaphysics and examines his distinction in book 1 between four fundamentally different types of causes, each of which provides an intelligible explanation for why something is what and as it is. These are the Formal, Material, Efficient, and Final causes.
