Abstract
Why does Aristotle say that there is no time without change? Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, 101, 359-367.Ursula Coope's view is that since Aristotle defines time as a kind of number of change with respect to the before and after, it is a universal order within which all changes are related to each other (Coope, U. 2005. Time for Aristotle: Physics IV.10-14. Oxford: Oxford University Press.). Derivatively, this slanted concern with what is the relation between time and change is problematic, for as Brittany A. Gentry recently suggests, an interpretation of presentism, for example, allows one to endorse the view that time is nothing more than the measure of change (Gentry, B.A. 2021. Measuring the present: What is the duration of 'now'?
