Living creatures, movers being moved

February 28, 2006 at 1:45 pm (Default Category)

All living creatures are simultaneously self movers, and secondary movers- they are self movers as living, and secondary movers as creatures. This makes it a mover which is itself moving. As mover, it is characterized by a fullness, a completion, and act, but as moved it is characterized by a lack, a lack within a potency. All this is implicit in the definition of motion: the act of potency with privation.
