Abstract

In the third chapter of De Principiis Naturae (for the first one, see Intuitio, 1/1 (2008), p. 125-9; for the second chapter, see Intuitio 1/2 (2008), p. 329-35), Thomas teaches that there are four kinds of cause, namely, efficient, material, formal and final; the difference between natural and voluntary agents; the difference among “principle”, “cause” and “element”. In chapter four, we learn the relation between the causes; about the division of “necessity” into “absolute” and “conditional”; the two kinds of “end”. KEY WORDS: Thomas Aquinas. Principles of Nature. Medieval Cosmology.
