Abstract

In ARISTOTLE’s explanation and definition of ‘time’, two aspects can be found which are apparently inconsistent. On the one hand, ARISTOTLE defines TIME as ‘number of motion with respect to the before and the after’. On the other hand, none of his works evidence a continuous definition of number. Thus, it seems that he has considered TIME both continuous and discontinuous. The present article is an attempt to remove the ambiguity from his definition. Inspired by ARISTOTLE himself and drawing on his commentator’s suggested solutions, the article has tried to present a better more comprehensive solution for the inconsistency.The gist of the argument is that, first, number in the definition of TIME is not the so called ‘counting number’ (e.g.2 and 3) but it is the ‘countable number’ (e.g.2 meters or 3 hours); and second, it is by the interference of the soul as the agent of the recognition of the before and after of the movement that TIME assumes an enumerative state. The emphasis on the role of the soul as the agent of the recognition can be regarded as the innovative aspect of the present article in disambiguating ARISTOTLE’s definition of TIME.
