Plato And The Supremacy Of The Final In Place Of The Efficient Cause (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162853772)

""Plato and the Supremacy of the Final in Place of the Efficient Cause"" is a philosophical work written by F. W. Bussell. The book explores Plato's concept of causality and argues that the final cause, or the purpose or end goal of something, is more important than the efficient cause, or the immediate cause of an event or action. Bussell examines Plato's ideas on causality in various contexts, including ethics, metaphysics, and theology, and discusses how they relate to other philosophical concepts such as teleology and determinism. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of Plato's philosophy and its relevance to contemporary philosophical debates. It is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient Greek philosophy, the philosophy of causality, or the history of philosophy in general.THIS 28 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: School of Plato: Its Origin, Development, and Revival Under the Roman Empire, by F.
