Conclusion: From Aporia (ἀπορία) to Euporia (εὐπορία)

‘Aporia’ refers either to a Aporia as subjective mental state of perplexitysubjective mental state of perplexity or to the aporetic object of study. The aporia has the potential to bring the enquirer to a state of humility, making room for new thoughts to arise. The goal of the aporetic enquiry is to bring new insights and new knowledge by the reaching of an euporia ‘a solution.’ The existence of time is demonstrated to either be actual or potential. Time and the ‘now’ are perquisites for one another, where neither would exist without the other; time is located in the ‘now’ in combination with preceding and following time. Time is approached both from a mathematical-logic perspective as an extensionless limit between past and future time, and from a cognitive-perceptive point of view. Time is not a substance but takes part of substance by being modelled on the motion of a moving thing, a substance. The ‘now’ is not a part of time but still an important part in Aristotle’s conceptualisation of time. The one and same ‘now’ is the same in actuality and accidentally different as a potential divider.
