Abstract

Abstract Aristotle’s Metaphysics Θ.8 argument for the priority of actuality to potentiality poses an immediate interpretive problem: the argument uses two distinct tests for priority, one of which threatens to reverse the results of the other. This paper argues that the standard approach to this passage, according to which one thing is prior to another when it satisfies the ontological independence test from Metaphysics Δ.11, fails to secure the argumentative unity of the passage. It introduces a new, causal account of priority which explains both Aristotle’s claims about priority and the way he argues for them.
形而上学中的因果优先权Θ.8
摘要亚里士多德的形而上学Θ.8关于现实优先于潜力的论点提出了一个直接的解释问题:该论点使用了两种不同的优先级测试,其中一种可能会推翻另一种的结果。本文认为,这篇文章的标准方法,即当它满足形而上学Δ11的本体论独立性测试时,一件事先于另一件事,未能确保这篇文章在论证上的统一性。它引入了一种新的、因果的优先权解释,既解释了亚里士多德关于优先权的主张,也解释了他为之辩护的方式。
