Description

This is the first volume of essays devoted to Aristotelian formal causation and its relevance for contemporary metaphysics and philosophy of science. The essays trace the historical development of formal causation and demonstrate its relevance for contemporary issues, such as causation, explanation, laws of nature, functions, essence, modality, and metaphysical grounding. The book begins with a group of essays that develop and criticise various contemporary approaches to formal causation. Part II takes on modal issues that have been closely connected with form and essence. In Part III, the essays explore issues from biology, including form, essentialism, and evolutionary development biology. The fourth and final set of chapters discusses the relevance of formal causation for reasoning, specifically concerning accounts of logical consequence and developmental psychology. Neo-Aristotelian Perspectives on Formal Causation will be of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers working on contemporary Aristotelian approaches to metaphysics and philosophy of science.
