Natural Causation

Natural Causation is a type of causal explanation in Medieval Natural Philosophy that belongs to the genus of Aristotelian causality and is differentiated by its reliance on immanent principles within nature—such as forms, powers, and teleological tendencies—to account for the regular and orderly generation, alteration, and motion of physical phenomena without recourse to supernatural intervention.
