| This text explores Aristotle's unresolved aporias on the nature of time in Physics IV (217b30 - 218a30), highlighting a metaphysical dilemma: whether time belongs to being or non-being. Aristotle leaves the question undecided, shifting focus to the nature of time, a problem he may have deliberately avoided. Ancient thinkers, however, did not shy away from addressing these aporias. Damascius offers a resolution to Aristotle’s dilemmas in his commentary on Plato’s Parmenides and his lost treatise on number, place, and time, fragments of which are preserved by Simplicius. Damascius’ concept of "integral time" distinguishes between two meanings of "now": Aristotle’s punctual "now," a limit of time, and Damascius’ "present," a temporal continuum. Simplicius, though critical of Damascius’ ideas, acknowledges this distinction as key to resolving Aristotle’s aporias. Simplicius' Corollarium de tempore expands on this, presenting time as simultaneously existent in its entirety ("integral time"), a concept rooted in Damascius’ philosophy. However, Simplicius’ partial understanding of Damascius’ thought highlights his struggle to reconcile Damascius’ notion of time with Aristotelian paradigms. The analysis situates Damascius’ ideas within the framework of both Plato’s Parmenides and Aristotle’s Physics, showcasing how he integrates Platonic metaphysics with Aristotelian logic to address foundational questions about the nature and being of time.
