Abstract

From the time of Gustav Schneider’s Quae sit causae finalis apud Aristotelem vis atque natura titles on the Aristotelian final cause are strangely lacking. The present book finds only one monograph precisely dedicated to its theme, and pointing rather to an undeniable lacuna than to definitive results. While not presuming to "exhaust" the problem in a single study, Capecci undertakes the project of bringing to light some aspects of the Aristotelian teleology, in particular the "logical structure" of the final causality used by the Stagirite in his physical and metaphysical investigations.
