By Chelsea C. Harry. "This book is a contribution both to Aristotle studies and to the philosophy of nature, and not only offers a thorough text based account of time as modally potentiality in Aristotle's account, but also clarifies the process of "actualizing time" as taking time and looks at the implications of conceiving a world without actual time. It speaks to the resurgence of interest in Aristotle's natural philosophy and will become an important resource for anyone interested in Aristotle's theory of time, of its relationship to Aristotle's larger project in the Physics, and to time's place in the broader scope of Aristotelian natural science. Graduate students and scholars researching in this area especially will find the authors arguments provocative, a welcome addition to other recent publications on Aristotle's Treatise on Time."--Publisher's description Preface 7 Acknowledgments 9 Contents 11 Abstract 12 Introduction 13 1 Time in Context 18 1.1 Physics: Scope, Access, Goals, and Method 19 1.2 Nature and Its Archai 23 1.3 The Role of Kinêsis in Nature 33 1.4 From Kinêsis to Chr03CCnos 39 2 Physics iv 10-11 as a Parallel Account 50 2.1 Introducing the Issue of Time 52 2.2 Eschewing the Endoxa 54 2.3 Aristotle's Positive Account of Time 57 3 Taking Time 67 3.1 Conditions for Actualized Time 68 3.2 Readiness for Thinking: From Marking to Counting 72 3.3 Perceiving Time Revisitied 78 Concluding Remarks 84 Bibliography 86 Index 89 Front Matter....Pages i-xix Time in Context....Pages 1-32 Physics iv 10-11 as a Parallel Account....Pages 33-49 Taking Time....Pages 51-67 Back Matter....Pages 69-75
