Chang, Maria Hsueh-chu. "The View of the Moving World and "God" in the Philosophy of Aristotle." (Conference Paper- International Conference on Creativity and Process: East-West Dialogue 2007).

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to argue that the world in the philosophy of Aristotle is in continuous movement and open to the transcendence.  The article will be divided into three parts.  First, the evidence will be given to prove that the world in Aristotle's view is always in the movement.  Second, his investigation of the principle of the movement in the Physics is directly towards the theological science in his Metaphysics.  Finally, the theological science in Aristotle's Metaphysics  had the existence of "God" as its highest presupposition.  The conclusion will be drawn that the eternity of the movement of the world does not exclude the transcendence, but require an eternal and transcendental principle to propel this movement.
