Question

Aristotle defined this phenomenon's "violent" type as contrary to something's nature. John Philoponus rejected Aristotle’s theory of this phenomenon by developing a concept that Jean Buridan reintroduced to the West. A book preceding one titled for "first philosophy" defines this phenomenon as a reduction from potentiality to actuality. A being who does not exhibit this phenomenon but imparts it unto others is the subject of cosmological arguments (0[1])and often called the (*) "first cause." (10[1])The theory of impetus concerns this phenomenon, (10[1])which a thinker argued was impossible with a paradox involving an arrow. Zeno's paradoxes argue for the impossibility of, for 10 points, what phenomenon exhibited by non-stationary things? ■END■ (10[1])
