Abstract

In this work, I argue that the concept of all nature, πᾶς φύσις, exposed in Metaphysics, is what allows Aristotle to say that God exists, without falling into a merely logical investigation (as Plato's theory). All Nature is the result of the phenomenal experience of the mobile and allows us to think about the relationship between mobile substances. The fact that the first mobile substances constantly interact with each other, and the experience that only through such a relationship do they reach their perfection, allows us to sustain, from the evidence of the mobile, God, as the immobile cause of the movement of all nature.
