“You cannot step into the same river twice”- Heraclitus
phenomena= changes that we can see
immutable= unchanging
the forms are superior to physical phenomena
Both are linked in the domain of ethics:
Prime Mover: through the idea of everything being drawn to its own purpose.
Form of the Good: as the means by which everything that exists is known.
The Prime Mover is based on arguments that appeal to a posteriori (observed) evidence; the Form of the Good on a priori arguments.
They are both ‘ultimates’, which might appeal to non-theistic deists – impersonal sources of reality, arrived at through philosophical speculation rather than faith.
