アリストテレスの物理論:4原因説
<p>アリストテレス(紀元前384〜322)はプラトンの弟子で、後の西洋哲学に多大な影響を与えました。残念ながら、日本語ではあまり読まれていなく、出版されているアリストテレスの訳本はありますが、言葉が哲学の専門用語ばかりで日本人には一般になじみにくい印象があります。よって、ここでは、専門用語をなるべく使わず、重要な概念を分かりやすく説明していきたいと思います。さらに、このシリーズでは主に哲学者の基本的な思想を理解するのが目的なので、細かい論点などの議論は避けようと思います。もし、私のアカデミックな記事・見解をもっと詳しく知りたい人は、同じブログ上の英語版記事を参照してください。 さて、シリーズ第1回目の今回は、アリストテレスの自然科学、物理学における生命や自然の産物の発生原因を説明していこうと思います。 自然の産物の存在理由・原因は4つあるとアリストテレスは言います。この4つの原因となるものが重なり合い、自然の生き物は生まれて来るのです。 ①材料(何で?) ②形式やフォーム(どんな?) ③動力の源(どのよ
