NAME:
The images above represent children in their discovery of the world. At this stage of life, according to scholars, our imagination about reality is mainly motor and sensory.
1) Explain how metaphysics problematizes the world. What is it possible to know through this reflection? Comment.
A.
2) Explain how the concept of substance is opposed to that of becoming (or becoming)?
A.
3) When we look at the world and its phenomena to try to understand them, we also tend to ask why? In doing this we are investigating the causes. Aristotle distinguished four types of causes, define each of them.
A.
4) Define the finalist doctrine of reality defended by Aristotle.
A.
5) Everything in nature has a purpose, do you agree with this idea? For example: that the pig has its own nature to serve as food for human beings? Reflect on this question and record your opinion.
A.
6) Now, do an observation survey of the world around you. Analyze objects, places, people, plants and animals. Compare them to what they were a long time ago, eg when you were a child (if necessary, look into old photographs). Then answer the following question: In your perception, what seems to be fundamental, the permanence of being or the change of becoming? If you find it interesting, you can answer this question through a drawing, a collage or other artistic composition, after presenting your perception in class. Good work!
