Chronos in Aristotles Physics : On the Nature of Time

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 Aristotles 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 Aristotles natural philosophy and will become an important resource for anyone interested in Aristotles theory of time, of its relationship to Aristotles larger project in the Physics, and to times 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 Aristotles Treatise on Time. ​
