A "[[cause]]" is a kind of principle, but the meaning of ''principle'' can be broader than "cause" in at least two ways. First, a principle can be a "deprivation" in the sense of the absence of a thing understood to be present by nature. For example the absence of a woman's eye, of which could be spoken as a principle of certain actions. | A "[[cause]]" is a kind of principle, but the meaning of ''principle'' can be broader than "cause" in at least two ways.
