Definition
In ancient Greek philosophy, the capacity or potential for action or change; power or force as a principle of nature.
Etymology
Ancient Greek 'dynamis' (δύναμις) meaning power, strength, or potential. This fundamental philosophical term was used by Aristotle and Plato to explain how things could change and realize their potential.
Kelly Says
When Aristotle used 'dynamis,' he was solving a major puzzle: how can something that doesn't exist yet (potential) be real enough to cause change? 'Dynamis' literally meant the world became philosophically intelligible—it's the concept behind evolution and quantum mechanics!
