Aristotle's Laws of Motion

• Nothing moves unless you push it.  [it is moved by a mover]
• Some motion is natural for the sublunar elements, rectilinear motion to or away from the earth's center for the supralunar quintessence, circular motion
• All other motion is violent, and requires a mover
• [Anselm's nth proof of the existence of God]
• Because motion exists, there must be a self-moved mover, i.e. a Prime Mover [later i.d. God]
• There is natural, violent, and local motion; rectilinear and circular motion
• Speed is proportional to motive force, and inversely proportional to resistance.
• v ? F/R   [by a constant of proportionality: v = k(F/R)]
• There cannot be a vacuum [therefore Natura is a plenum]
• The most Natural state:  Rest [if terrestrial]
• Teleology  -  The 4th and Final Cause  -- "WHY" is the most  important question.
• [Aristotle's Theory of Causation]
