    Key Terms

    Causal Principle(Used as a foundational premise in deductive cosmological arguments for the existence of God)
    The general metaphysical principle that every event or contingent thing has a cause, which underlies the deductive cosmological argument
    Cessation(contrasted with ongoing consequences)
    The moment when something stops happening or comes to an end.
    external mover(as used in classical physics and Aristotelian philosophy)
    An outside force or agent that causes motion in something else. Think of it as a push or pull coming from outside an object.
    impressed upon(as used in classical physics)
    Put into or applied to something from the outside. Here it means a force is applied to an object from an external source.
    inheres in

    (as used in metaphysics and philosophy of properties)
    Exists as a permanent part of something; belongs to it naturally or essentially. This means the force becomes a built-in quality of the object itself.
    motive force(as used in physics and metaphysics)
    The power or energy that causes something to move or change. In this context, it's what gets a body (object) in motion.
