Please try again later. Challenging but ultimately a fine look at how Aristotle conceptualized time and change. Well worth reading for anyone interested in the origins of written thought on what remains one of our most elusive topics. One person found this helpful. I would like to recommend this small book to eveybody interested in the perpetual debate on Aristotle's consept of time and movement.
This book is one approach to the ever upcoming problem: What is really Time? Oxford University Press What is the relation between time and change? Aristotle tackles these questions in the Physics. In the first book in English exclusively devoted to this discussion, Ursula Coope argues that Aristotle sees time as a universal order within which all changes are related to each other.
This interpretation enables her to explain two striking Aristotelian claims: Aristotle claims that time is not a kind of change, but that it is something dependent upon change; he defines it as a kind of number of change. The author argues that what this means is that time is a kind of order not, as is commonly supposed, a kind of measure. It is a universal order within which all changes are related to each other. This interpretation and enables Coope to explain to puzzling claims that Aristotle makes: Time for Aristotle is a lucid discussion of one of the more perennial fascinating sections of Aristotle's Physics.
For Aristotle the earth is at the center, then in concentric circles water, air, and fire. Note for modern physics there are five states of matter that correspond to the solid, liquid, Gaseous, radiant, and the hyper hot magma. In the section of the fixed physics that concerns Coope, Aristotle lays out his account of four things that are fundamental to the study of any nature: Previously he also discusses the void he says that the void is generally thought to be a precondition of change if there is present also place, time.
Later he does discuss that all this is generally accepted except for the claim that there can only be changed if there is void.
In chapters 7 through 9, Aristotle returns to the discussion of nature. Aristotle, Physics, Books I and Ii. See all 4 reviews. Metaphysics of War Julius Evola. Book Five Dolores Cannon. Choose your country or region Close.
In his discussion of void he argues not only that there can be change in the absence of void, but that it is, in fact, and possible for there to be void. Sense nature is a source of change, in order to understand all what it is to have a nature we need to account for change. Changes, Aristotle thinks, are infinitely divisible, so in providing a foundation for physics, we must tackle the obscure notion of the infinite.
He provides an account of place, because if there is to be any kind of change there must be change of place. The example given is that of the heavenly bodies must engage in eternal movement that is a change in place. Moreover whenever one thing axon another to produce a change, there must be spatial movement, sense before one think and act on another, the thing that acts in the thing that is acted upon must approach one another.
Such was the reasoning to give rise to the ether. To understand the change of place than an account of time is also needed sense all changes and all changing things are within the time. This sets the context on how the accounts of time plays out in Aristotle's overall system. If we are to understand his Physics as a whole we need to grapple with his difficult remarks about time. Brilliantly lucid in its explanation of this challenging section of the Physics, Time for Aristotle shows his discussion to be of enduring philosophical interest.
