    It is not the case that The mover's influence ends due to one of four distinct causes

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Aristotle's Physics VI demonstrates that motion is continuous and divisible, meaning 'completion' is not a discrete terminus but a limit approached asymptotically.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If completion is a limit rather than an achieved state, the fourth cause collapses into a fifth: the mover's influence ends due to mathematical convergence, not intentional finality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Ibn Bajja's taxonomy therefore conflates teleological and kinematic descriptions, producing an illicit mixture of physics and metaphysics under a single causal category.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Avicenna's theory of mail (inclination) holds that a projectile acquires an internal motive force from its original mover, allowing continued motion after contact ceases.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If the moved body carries forward an impressed force, then the mover's causal influence does not strictly end but is transmitted into the body as a persistent internal cause.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.This renders Ibn Bajja's four causes incomplete, since they classify only external cessation conditions while ignoring the internalization of motive power described in the impetus tradition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.The mover may cease to act due to the destruction of the mover itself
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The mover may cease to act due to exhaustion of the mover's power
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The mover may cease to act due to the disappearance of the cause that initiated the motion
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
