Describe Aristotle s teachings about the differences between the final cause and the other sorts of
In Aristotle’s teachings there are different types of causes. There is the material cause, the efficient cause, the formal cause and the final cause. The material cause is the matter from which something is made (like the bricks used for the building of the house). The efficient cause is the agent that brings something about (like a builder that builds a house). The formal cause is the form of something (the building being done). The final cause is the goal or purpose that something wants to achieve (work towards), or the reason why it the way it is (the final building). The material cause is what something is made up of.
