亚里士多德谈运动——《物理学》中的运动观阐释

Aristotle on Motion—Interpretation of the View of Motion in Physics

亚里士多德的著作《物理学》集中展示了他的运动观。他主张运动是潜能的实现、静止是运动的缺乏,通过对运动、静止和“同一运动”等范畴的论述,创造性地解释了运动中事物何以保持同一等问题,不仅建立了独具特色的亚氏运动学说,还反驳了芝诺悖论,批判了巴门尼德的存在论,对于我们深刻理解运动、运动的主体、运动的状态等仍具有重要启示。

Aristotle’s view of motion was fully illustrated in his work Physics.He advocated that motion is the realization of potential and stillness is the absence of motion,and he creatively explained how things remain the same in motion through his discussion of the categories of motion,stillness and“identical motion”.Not only did he establish his unique theory of motion,but also refuted Zeno’s paradox and criticized Parmenid’s ontology,which is still an important revelation for us to deeply understand motion,the subject of motion,and the state of motion.
