In case that the power did not exist, also it would not have devir, therefore all the beings would be immovable and perpetual. But the pure act is absolutely perfect, because of the potentiality absence. In the epistemolgico aspect, that is, of the point of view of the knowledge the being in act if overlaps to the being in power, therefore this beyond being determined is not submissa to the being in act, therefore we only know it in virtue of a being in act. Converting these slight knowledge, power and act, in essence and existence, it is understood that the essence alone is understood in virtue of the existence. Second, of the point of view of the causalidade the act is superior again the power, why in the ticket of the power to the act, it requires a being in act.
Therefore, the power does not exist for itself, but in function of the act, therefore in the cycle of the causalidade, all being in power is present in a being in act. In this digresso Aristotle it proves the existence of ' ' Deus' ' , by means of the argument of the immovable engine. Finally, of the point of view of the composition, the act also surpasses the power, therefore it are of the act does not have power, therefore this is not found in pure state in the nature. For the fact of to be something determinable. The act and the power in relation with the substance the relation of the act and the power with the substance is established for Aristotle, leaving of the two constituent elements of the substance, the substance and the form. Abbagnano defines substance as ' ' what it is (…) what necessariamente.' exists; ' (ABBAGNANO, 2007, P. 925) this concept is purely aristotelian. The substance in the aristotelian conception is the power of the substance, while capacity to assume or to receive the form.
I want to tell you about a very interesting article I once read a long time on the blog by Sergey. Article I found, to put it here, but the basic idea of this is that there is one universal formula, as overcome laziness in themselves and become a successful person. You just need to work and do not give yourself any excuses! Everyone knows that rewarded on merit. That is, having worked at a maximum of 3 months – you can achieve quite good Results and live in clover all year long. All this is good, and fits easily in your mind the notion of "put on the full extent" if the term of the same 3 months, but understand this same phrase in relation to seconds or minutes rather difficult. But a month is just made up of just such minutes and seconds. Misunderstanding this leads to the fact that people start to ignore those seconds and miss them, being engaged at this time any nonsense. You thought someday, how many seconds a day you spend usefully? (If at least 50% – it is already excellent).
