The idea
In the Physics, Aristotle names four causes: that out of which a thing comes to be; its form; the primary source of its change; and that for the sake of which it exists.
In practice
His examples: the bronze of a statue, the father of a child, and health as the reason for walking about.
Where people slip
These come from Hardie and Gaye's public-domain translation.
