Synopsis
Excerpt from The Origin and Nature of Man
Our knowledge of a thing is in proportion to our knowledge of its causes; and a thing is not fully or truly known until all its causes are known.
The causes are the antecedents necessarily involved in the production of a thing.
Every work of design has four causes: the final cause, the formal cause, the material cause, and the efficient cause. If any one of these causes is lacking, the thing can never come into existence.
The final cause is the purpose for which a thing is designed. The formal cause is the ideal or form existing in the mind before embodiment. The material cause is the substance which embodies the form. The efficient cause is the agency employed to~perform the work of construction.
