Aristotle's "Nature Belongs To The Class Of Causes Which Act For The Sake Of Something" - Strongest Argument

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The argument associated with Aristotle's quote stating "nature belongs to the class of causes which act for the sake of something" (Aristotle, 2001) is clearly about the inherent value of nature in light of its reason for existing. Nature, in and of itself, is a self-sufficient entity by virtue of its capacity for perpetual regeneration; if it were not of the fact that nature reinvents itself each second of each day, thereby maintaining every single form of life found upon this planet, one might readily surmise how Aristotle may not have put forth the tremendous effort to defend its legitimacy. However, his contention that "action for an end is present in things which come to be and are by nature" (Aristotle, 2001) duly illustrates the argument he strives to impart upon the masses.
