Aristotle's definition of time as 'a number of motion with respect
to the before and after' has been branded as patently circular by
commentators ranging from Simplicius to W. D. Ross. In this book
Tony Roark presents an interpretation of the definition that
renders it not only non-circular, but also worthy of serious
philosophical scrutiny. He shows how Aristotle developed an account
of the nature of time that is inspired by Plato while also
thoroughly bound up with Aristotle's sophisticated analyses of
motion and perception. When Aristotle's view is properly
understood, Roark argues, it is immune to devastating objections
against the possibility of temporal passage articulated by
McTaggart and other 20th-century philosophers. Roark's novel and
fascinating interpretation of Aristotle's temporal theory will
appeal to those interested in Aristotle, ancient philosophy and the
philosophy of time.
