Aristotle's Ontology of Change.Mark Sentesy - 2020 - Chicago, IL, USA: Northwestern University Press.details This book investigates what change is, according to Aristotle, and how it affects his conception of being. Mark Sentesy argues that change leads Aristotle to develop first-order metaphysical concepts such as matter, potency, actuality, sources of being, and the teleology of emerging things. He shows that Aristotle’s distinctive ontological claim—that being is inescapably diverse in kind—is anchored in his argument for the existence of change. -/- Aristotle may be the only thinker to have given a noncircular definition of change.

In de Caelo, however, Aristotle seems only to consider that (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
Simple Bodies and Aristotle's Explanation of Change: De Caelo and De Generatione et Corruption.Jiayu Zhang - 2021 - Dissertation, Trinity College, Dublindetails Why does Aristotle commit to the existence of simple bodies? Why does Aristotle conduct an investigation into simple bodies as part of his his natural philosophy? These are the two questions I want to focus on in this dissertation. The answer to these questions, in my view, can be found in Aristotle's investigations into simple bodies in De Caelo and De Generatione et Corruptione. On the basis of my interpretation of these two treatises, I argue in this dissertation that Aristotle's (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
