What is the relation between time and change? Does time depend on
the mind? Is the present always the same or is it always different?
Aristotle tackles these questions in the Physics, and Time for
Aristotle is the first book in English devoted to this discussion.
Aristotle claims that time is not a kind of change, but that it is
something dependent on change; he defines it as a kind of 'number
of change'. Ursula Coope argues that what this means is that time
is a kind of order (not, as is commonly supposed, a kind of
measure). It is universal order within which all changes are
related to each other. This interpretation enables Coope to explain
two puzzling claims that Aristotle makes: that the now is like a
moving thing, and that time depends for its existence on the mind.
Brilliantly lucid in its explanation of this challenging section of
the Physics, Time for Aristotle shows his discussion to be of
enduring philosophical interest.
