Aristotle, The Categories | Space, Time, and Number | Philosophy Core Concepts

This video focuses on Aristotle's work, the Categories, and examines his discussion in chapter 6 of the relationship between space, time, and quantity. Both space and time are what Aristotle calls continuous quantity.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

You helped me improve my understanding of Aristotle's views on space, time, and number immensely. I will be watching this video again and again!

I finally know what the intrinsic nature of time is: a whole and continuous quantity that doesn’t contain any contraries and doesn’t derive itself from anything else.

Ha, the youtube timeline was a nice impromptu teaching aid about the passage of time, simple but effective. The idea that space seems like a contrary but isn't (I think because nothing is changing, its just location) yet it is used linguistically to define contraries (what's furthest from happy) is a fun quirk. I can see how space could be confused as a contrary since near and far can be used for position (space) and also for relation.

Hello, Sir. It is a very good explanation.
But, where can I get that book (on your hand) from?

Should Aristotle be considered a presentist?

[ZishanWazedBegg]

So is it right to say for Aristotle space is a substance?
