Lecture 84: The Divisibility of Motion and Time

================================================================================

But in the sense of our subject, sometimes... Very special. I'll say something here about 6, 7. In the same way Thomas will often use division. You see this real distinction between them. But there's a real distinction. Parts in God, perfect and holy. Things speak, you know. You don't want to speak in God. Division in the Spirit. But there is a real distinction. He says, motion is divisible in two ways. One way by the movements of the parts of that, which is as if the whole AC is moved, and BC another part of which he, you know, the second way is. So he says, let the motion of the parts be, BC, there is AC, right? It will be moved by this, since each of its parts is moved, but nothing is moved by BC. The whole motion is of something, the whole motion, DF, and the whole is of the whole, be it AB and BC, and there is not one motion, he says, and thus the whole. Further, he says, if there is another motion of the whole, as GH, the motion of each of the parts will be separated. These will be equal to, thus the whole motion, GH, and something is left over, as IH. Which motion of, this will be the motion, continuous motion, is of continuous life. Similarly, if it exceeds by division, if this is impossible, it is necessarily the same in equal. This division, then, is according to the motion of the chest parts. The motion of the whole, those parts are also, if it continues, you're going to see, you know, from this, that is the increasing Yon, Aristotle, actually, in the seven words. So this is one way of the motion. Then in the next paragraph, none of division is by time. Since every motion is in time, we're less and lesser than necessarily. Since everything moved is moved in something, and for some time, there's motion of everything moved. Necessarily, there are the same divisions of time and motion. Necessarily, there are the same divisions of time and motion, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time, and there are the same divisions of time. Except not likewise in an austere's ocean, but a place to itself. Is there something like that? But if something is bigger than substantial, in a way it's in time, a change, but if you really can't, so whatever it may be, in that sense, it takes me. So unless you look from how basic this is, you know, to understand this thing going forward, the half will be less than this and always that. And likewise, if the motion is divisible, the whole is in all, the half is in the half, then the less in the less. Easy to see, right? It takes a minute and a half an hour and vice versa. In the same way, in place to be moved, so.
