ARISTOTLE’S UNMOVED MOVER
_______________

The Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the first philosophers to address the issue of the causation of the universe. According to Aristotle everything had a cause that brought it into existence. In turn that cause had a cause that created it. This chain of causation extends back into the past. However, that chain couldn’t be past eternal as one first cause was necessary to initiate the chain of causes. This, he named the unmoved mover, “ὃ οὐ κινούμενον κινεῖ” translated into “that which moves without being moved”. [1]

[1] Aristotle, Metaphysics XII, 1072a.
