Plot

The undefined movement of the existence and the events of the past, present and future, considered as a whole .Philosophers investigate not just the metaphysics of time, and our experience and representation of time, but the role of time in ethics and action, and philosophical issues in the sciences of time, especially with regard to quantum mechanics and relativity theory.The problem of time still remains as one of the deepest philosophical problems to be investigated. If we go back to the Greeks, we can easily see the different horizon that motivated treatises like Aristotle's book IV of Physics or Plotinus' Ennead III.7, in which such discussion is always attached to the problem of what is movable and what is not. In their attempt to think about the beings that are not eternal, for they have had a beginning and will have and end eventually, we see a general effort of trying to mitigate Parmenides' absolute non-being in order to creating a relation between that and what in fact is. And from this background, we can reach several important parallel discussions like the Aristotelian dúnamis-energeia conceptual pair, in order to saying that a being can, for instance, be a philosopher or a scientist eventually, even if one is neither now.—fillmaker.gr
