Abstract

This work concerns Avicenna ’s account of nature, mainly as it engages with Aristotle ’s Physics . By discussing two accounts of nature, particularly their treatment of motion and rest, I wish to highlight Avicenna ’s addendum to Aristotle ’s account of nature. Integral to my argument shall be Avicenna ’s emphasis on the necessity of understanding components of nature in temporal terms. Incorporating his idea of the “ flowing now ” into nature, Avicenna ’s physics, I suggest, constantly emphasizes the place of temporality operative in natural occurrences. In doing so, he does not simply incorporate time into his account of nature but sees temporality as the necessary ground of the natural. Constantly asserting the temporal nature of motion and rest, he affirms the happening and event - based character of nature and highlights the becoming operative in it. He presents an account of nature qua natura fluens , or “ flowing nature .”
自然流体:阿维森纳《治疗物理学》中的时间与自然
这部著作涉及阿维森纳的自然观,主要是其与亚里士多德《物理学》的关系。通过讨论两种自然学说,特别是它们对运动和静止的处理,我希望强调阿维森纳对亚里士多德自然学说的补充。阿维森纳强调从时间角度理解自然组成部分的必要性,这与我的论点密不可分。我认为,阿维森纳的物理学将他的 "流动的现在 "理念融入自然,不断强调时间性在自然现象中的作用。他这样做并不是简单地将时间纳入他对自然的描述,而是将时间性视为自然的必要基础。他不断强调运动和静止的时间性,肯定了自然的发生和事件特征,并强调了自然中的 "成为"。他对自然的描述是 "流动的自然"(qua natura fluens)。
