Due largely to. the contemporary interest in paraconsistent logic, the fourteenth-century incipit/desinit(begins/ceases) problem has recently been revived in new form.l Like Zeno's paradoxes of motion, to which it is closely related, this problem is easier to state than to resolve: is an object in motion or at rest at the instant of change? Consider the following possible answers to this question:(1) The object is at rest but not in motion.(2) The object is in motion but not at rest.(3) The object is neither at rest nor in motion. (4) The object is both at rest and in motion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
