    Reasons For

    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The rest of the whole is caused by the rest of one of its parts insofar as the movable is other than the mover
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.When the mover's influence ends, the movable ceases to be acted upon and therefore comes to rest

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Projectile motion demonstrates that bodies continue moving after losing direct contact with their mover, contradicting immediate cessation at mover's end.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Aristotle himself acknowledged this problem, positing that the medium (air) becomes a secondary mover, suggesting rest requires exhaustion of transferred motive capacity, not mere cessation of the original mover's influence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If the medium sustains motion after the primary mover disengages, then rest is not determined by the mover's influence ending but by complex dissipation through successive causes.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.John Philoponus argued that movers impart an internal impressed force (antiperistasis critique), meaning motion persists through an acquired property intrinsic to the body itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If motive force is impressed upon and inheres in the body, the cessation of the external mover's influence does not terminate motion, since the body now carries its own causal principle of movement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Rest on this account requires the exhaustion of the impressed force, making the claim's causal structure—tying rest directly to the mover's cessation—logically incomplete.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    It is evident that the rest of the whole caused by the rest of one of its parts takes place in so far as the movable is other than the mover, and when the influence (athar) of the latter ends, it comes to rest. Its influence ends because the mover ceases to act either on its own or because something else exerts resistance on it. Whenever the mover ceases to act on its own, this happens due either to its destruction, or to exhaustion (kalal) of the power of the mover, or because the cause disappe
