Time according to Aristotle
For Aristotle, time is the measure of movement according to before and after. Time is what we measure changes with. For Aristotle what makes the measurement of time is the soul (mind). According to this philosopher the soul is an indispensable condition for the existence of time. If the mind did not exist, time would not exist. For Aristotle, time has no meaning if there were not someone to keep track of the changes.
There are many theories of time (Aristotle, Kant, Newton, Einstein, Heidegger, etc.), but only one theory of duration-time (Philochrony). Time exists in the duration of regular rhythm or in periodic phenomena. Before the human being existed the periodic phenomena existed (for example, the movements of the planets and stars).
Duration-time (D-T) is represented by the parallelochron and time in perspective. The basis of time is duration, it is not the space or the subject.
