Full Idea
The now is a link of time, for it links together past and future time, and is a limit of time, since it is a beginning of one and an end of the other.
Gist of Idea
The present moment is a link (of past to future), and also a limit (of past and of future)
Source
Aristotle (Physics [c.337 BCE], 222a10)
A Reaction
It is not clear how a limit (such as the boundary between two overlapping bits of paper) can also be a 'link'. He noticed the problem in Idea 22958.
