    Xaire Axiothea, a true follower of truth!

    With what marvelous messages you reached our board!? Marvelous posts with an academic and true scholastic writing approach! It is healthy manner to rich Aristotle’s philosophical theory. For my view it is also approvable to state that “Change and movement may be the meaning of kinesis,” which “concerns any kind of change of matter, including the change of place, phora (velocity), and even alteration (= alloiosis), the movement namely in relation to the quality of matter.” And thus motion always exist and must not cease, but as he said (Ph. 258 B 10ff.) “there must necessarily be something, either one thing or many, that first initiates motion, and this first mover must be unmoved”, and that introduce his doctrine about the unmoved mover. I would like to have a discussion about that, and may include to our discussion theology and metaphysics, because as you stated Axiothea, marvelously “physics, may be the theoretical science which has been developed through the high desire of man to follow the truth of things that he is powerless to change.

    Excellent and well done!! Εύγε!!
