- 2. Nothing can move or change itself
- In Plato's terms everything is a secondary mover
- 3. Imagine everything is a secondary mover

- 4. Reductio ad absurdum
- If 3 were true, then there would be no prime mover and hence no subsequent movers. But this is false
- Conclusion:

- The source of all motion / change
