Abstract: Aristotle says that time ‘follows’ change and change ‘follows’ magnitude. This chapter discusses the notion of ‘following’. It also explains how Aristotle uses the notion of following to justify a claim he makes about the continuity of time and of change: the claim that that time is continuous because change is, and change is continuous because magnitude is.
Keywords: change, magnitude, continuity, following,
