RIBES-INESTA, Emilio. Non-causal causes and fields which are not entities: Response to Telmo Peña. Acta comport. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.1, pp.65-71. ISSN 0188-8145.

Psychology does not study entities but fields of contingent relationships between entities. Aristotelian principles or causes describe different moments of the actualization of these fields. Each moment consist in a state of the field of relations, and functional detachment, as efficient cause, deals with the transitions of continuous changes of states during actualization. An experimental example is analyzed.

Keywords : Causal agent; Aristotelian causes; changes; states.
