亚里士多德对早期哲学家起源观点的分析：四因论和柏拉图的理念

Continuing:

Note: These two chapters provide a brief introduction and evaluation of the earliest origin views of early philosophers, which Aristotle categorizes into the Four Causes theory.

'For example, all people share the 'idea of a human' and are all named 'human''

Note: In contrast to the views of early philosophers, Plato proposes the Idea (as a form) as the cause of all things, and all things possess the Idea. However, the Idea is composed of numbers and is itself a number. The 'indeterminate dyad' (the Great and the Small) serves as the material cause, while the shared '1' ('essentially is') generates the Idea of numbers. Aristotle analyzes what Plato said and concludes that it refers to both the formal cause and the material cause.
