The Four Causes

Overview

Currently, we are running a series of conferences, each dedicated to one of the four Aristotelian causes. This causal framework featured in all sorts of scientific explanations and demonstrations, covering issues from the existence and attributes of God to the natural phenomena of His creation, including the workings of the human mind and its role in determining human values and action. (For the rationale of the entire 4-year project see this page)

In September, 2025, we held our first conference in the series, on form and formal causation. Next up is our conference on matter and material causation—details coming soon!
