Synopsis

Excerpt from Note on Crescas's Definition of Time

The same definition is also reproduced by Sharastani, evidently from the ai-najat, in his summary of Avicenna's philosophy (cureton's edition, p. 'and so there is here a measure for motions, corresponding to them, and everything corresponding to motions is something having duration, which duration implies a continual renewal of itself. It is this that we call time.'
