The Unmoved Mover: God in Aristotle’s Metaphysics

For thousands of years, human beings have been thinking about supremacy. Part of the origin of this omnipotent desire for these sacred entities derives partly from our desire to seize the truth of the universe in which we live. We will return from there as part of this universe physically surrounds us and consumes us perfectly at the end of our lives. However to some extent there is another eternal part of the universe that can be separated from the world of transient problems we understand very easily, but in other respects it is separable unexplored. Power is closely related.

Aristotle (383-322 BC) also proposed a view of the cosmic creators who are often called "immovable ancestors" in his work "metaphysics". For Aristotle, like Plato, the "things" underlying the universe always exist and always exist (it follows the phrase Parmenides' famous "I can not do anything because I do nothing".) Aristotlez Proposed a potential controversy of the composition of the universe (essence or matter) Prime Mover starts organizing the movements of ousia as a center of charm, not through the performance, so that is an indifferent motive.

In his metaphysics Aristotle discussed the meaning of "existence". Aristotle believes that "presence" refers primarily immobile initiators and assigns one to each movement in the sky. Because the motive knowledge imitates it, every motive to move is always thinking about your own meditation, and all things that adapt to the second meaning of "existence" are moving by moving the origin of that action itself I will. (Or should). Completeness is not one of his attributes, as Aristotle 's God' s definition is entirely due to this existence, complete existence is not incomplete but can only consider integrity. According to Aristotle, God is in a state of "stagnation" without being affected by change and imperfection. "Indifferent actor" is quite different from the concept of God found in most religions.

An important belief in Aristotle's astronomical research is the movement of "indifferent God's theory of motion" that maintains observable movements of the celestial bodies. Aquinas explained Aristotle's section. There, the promoter is God and the angel is the planetary movement. An important theme of Akin 's literary philosophy of this day is his belief that the size of the universe is a perfect ball that revolves around the center of the permanently placed earth. Such confidence is created by reference to the Bible like "the world is firmly established and can not be moved" (Bible 96: 10) to confirm the position of the church. This theory has existed for centuries, after Copernicus (1473-1543), which has been endorsed by scientists and philosophers, proposed the modern astronomical theory (Frova 26), Galileo is in his dialogue with Simplicio It will be described as.
