Abstract
In this paper I will describe four theories of time that can be found in Aristotle. I will
compare these four theories with modern notions of time, and propose that the ancient
and modern views are substantively the same. Of course, all four theories cannot be
true together. I will present four ways to resolve the inconsistencies, and conclude that
the contradictions can be resolved.
