Course Content (Syllabus)
In this course, we will read through the five chapters that Aristotle dedicates to the study of time in his Physics (IV, 10-14). Aristotle raises in these chapters some notorious difficulties about the existence and nature of time, defines time as “the number of movement according to the prior and the posterior”, examines the different meanings of ‘now’ and the relation between time and human soul, and determines the motion in circle as the movement that is primarily numbered by time. The role of these chapters in the overall argument of the Physics will also be discussed.
