Aristotle Lecture by Dr. Joshua Hochschild

Join us at 4:30 pm in the Jones Room at the Kilcawley Center!

Aristotle is famous for understanding nature in terms of four causes.  The story of the development of modern science is often told as depending on the rejection of two or more of these causes.  How much of that story is fair to Aristotle’s ideas?  Are Aristotle’s causes still relevant to scientific inquiry?  What could be gained by trying to understand modern empirical inquiry in terms of Aristotelian principles?
