 2) Aristotle argues for eternity also from the angle of time, endorsing the common belief that “there is always time” and in Physics VIII.1 he concludes that it has been demonstrated that there never was nor will be a time when motion was not or will not be (252b5–6). Aristotle rejects the views of Anaxagoras and Empedocles (252a5–b5). For Anaxagoras there is a single principle of motion, Mind; for Empedocles Love and Strife alternately prevail and cause motion. Averroes points out two inconsistencies of their views. First, the laws of Nature do not admit, “something to be possible for an endless time in the past, and then to be brought into existence” (LC 349H TC15) and second, its laws rebut that the mover and the movable are at rest for an endless time and that then, at a given moment, motion starts.
