    Join host Felix Mercer as he unpacks Aristotle's four-cause framework and reveals how modern science abandoned three-quarters of its explanatory power. From ancient Athens to David Hume's critique, discover why our narrow focus on mechanical causation leaves us asking impoverished questions about climate change and biology, and why reintegrating lost modes of explanation might be this century's most important intellectual project.
