Material Causality, Formal Causality, Electricity

That all elements are constituted by charged particles tends to confirm the concepts of Epicurus, Lucretius, and Marx, that Matter is not inert, and, thus, to refute those of Aristotle, Genesis 2, and Bergson, that it is.  Also thus demonstrated as inadequate is Aristotle's concept of Material Causality as consisting in merely what something is made of.  So, too, correspondingly inadequate is his concept of Formal Causality as consisting in the imposition of shape on passive Matter, e. g. sculpture.  Instead, the complementarity of the two concepts is perhaps better illustrated by the harnessing of Electricty that is the basis of much of recent Human history, e. g. the directing of current through a transistor.  In this case, the Material Cause is just as dynamic as is the Formal Cause, as is the resistance exerted against the sculptor's chisel by some bronze.
