Karmastotle

In reading these three articles by Ken McLeod: Karma, Karma and Growth and Karma Doesn't Explain Anything, I find it interesting how he seems to compare karma to Aristotle's ideas regarding phusis (physics or nature in the ancient Greek sense) and kinesis (motion or growth), even going so far as to utilize the same acorn/oak analogy used to illustrate the distinction between potentiality (matter) and actuality (form) in Metaphysics.
