Chronos in Aristotle\u2019s Physics: On the Nature of Time is a contribution both to Aristotle studies and to the philosophy of nature and speaks to the resurgence of interest in Aristotle\u2019s natural philosophy. It argues that Aristotle\u2019s Treatise on Time (Physics iv 10-14) is a highly contextualized account of time, not a treatment of time qua time but a parallel account to Aristotle\u2019s foregoing studies of nature, principles (192b13-22), motion (201a10-11), infinite (iii 4-8), place (iv 1-5), and void (iv 6-9) in the Physics i-iv 9. It offers a reading of Physics iv 10-11 with the aim of showing that time, chr\u03ccnos, here has to do with time as an attribute of motion, as an interval, i.e., the type of time that, as Aristotle describes at 218a1, \u201cis taken.\u201d With support from a reading of Physics iv 14 and evidence from Aristotle\u2019s greater philosophy of nature, it argues that time for Aristotle is derivative of the modal change of natural being. Time is then only ever potentially actual unless this change is apprehended, in most cases, by the working together of perception and intellection and, in some cases, by perception alone. Studies in contemporary animal science help to buttress this final conclusion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
