Synopsis
Contributing Authors

English summary: This volume sheds light on the Aristotelian doctrine of the four causes and on one of the fundamental questions it raises: can we reduce the four causes to a unitary definition? Does it express a subjective explanation or a real connection? If it is real, which connection is it? In light of this essential question, the contributions presented in this collection offer a complete presentation of the Aristotelian doctrine of the four causes in underlining their role and functions in both theoretical and practical contexts. French description: Ce volume est ne de l’exigence de faire la lumiere sur la doctrine aristotelicienne des quatre causes et sur l’une des questions fondamentales qu’elle souleve: peut-on reduire les quatre causes … une definition unitaire? Et dans ce cas, exprime-t-elle une explication subjective ou une connexion reelle? Et s’il s’agit d’une connexion reelle, de quelle connexion s’agit-il ? A la lumiere de cette interrogation capitale, les contributions presentees dans ce volume se proposent d’offrir une presentation complete de la doctrine aristotelicienne des quatre causes en soulignant leur role et leurs fonctions specifiques aussi bien dans les contextes theoretiques que dans les contextes pratiques. L’enquete a ete elargie, en amont, aux causes dans le corpus Hippocraticum et … l’usage de aitia chez Platon et, en aval, … l’interpretation d’Alexandre d’Aphrodise et … une interpretation moderne, celle des causal powers.
