    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.A mover ceases to act either on its own or because something else exerts resistance on it
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.When resistance from an external source is sufficient, the mover's influence on the movable ends
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.A mover's influence is transmitted through a medium that itself becomes an active cause, not merely a passive conduit subject to termination.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Aristotle's account of projectile motion assigns causal power to successive portions of air, meaning resistance encounters a distributed cause, not a singular mover's influence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If the medium sustains motion independently, external resistance terminates the medium's causation, leaving the original mover's influence conceptually intact and unaffected.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Ibn Sina's impetus doctrine holds that a mover implants an inner quality (mayl) in the movable body, which becomes an intrinsic property of that body.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Properties intrinsic to a body can only be terminated by processes internal to that body, such as natural exhaustion, not by external resistive forces acting on it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, external resistance can impede or counteract motion without terminating the mover's implanted influence, which dissipates on its own terms.
      ?

      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
