Aristotle's Four Causes

1. A thing's material cause is the material it consists of. (For a table, that might be wood; for a statue, that might be bronze or marble.)

1. A thing's formal cause is its form, i.e. the arrangement of that matter.

1. A thing's efficient or moving cause[2] is "the primary source of the change or rest." An efficient cause of x can be present even if x is never actually produced and so should not be confused with a sufficient cause.[3] (Aristotle argues that, for a table, this would be the art of table-making, which is the principle guiding its creation.)[1]

1. A thing's final cause is its aim or purpose. (For a seed, it might be an adult plant. For a sailboat, it might be sailing. For a ball on the top of a ramp, it might be the ball rolling down the ramp.)
