The question raised at the beginning of the text builds on an idea from Aristotle's earlier work "The Physics." Namely, whether things come into being through causes, through some prime material, or whether everything is generated purely through "alteration." From this important work Aristotle gives us two of his most remembered contributions. First, the Four Causes and also the Four Elements (earth, wind, fire, and water). He uses these four elements to provide an explanation for the theories of other Greeks concerning Atoms , an idea Aristotle considered absurd. BIBLIOGRAPHY
