In his metaphysics, Aristotle was convinced that a divine being existed, the Prime Mover. He is responsible for the unity and purposefulness of nature. God is perfect and all things want to be like him since all things want to reach perfection. There are also other Prime Movers, 47 or 55 by number, and they are the intelligent movers of the stars and the planets. The Prime Mover is not really a religious being since he takes no interest in what goes on in the world and he did not create it.Source: Aristotle.
In his metaphysics, Aristotle argued for the existence of a divine being, described as the Prime Mover, who is responsible for the unity and purposefulness of nature. God is perfect and therefore the aspiration of all things in the world, because all things desire to share perfection.Other movers exist as well the intelligent movers of the planets and stars (Aristotle suggested that the number of these is "either 55 or 47"). The Prime Mover, or God, described by Aristotle is not very suitable for religious purposes, as many later philosophers and theologians have observed. Aristotle limited his "theology," however, to what he believed science requires and can establish.Anyway, as I said, Aristotle was a pagan. He was certainly no theist, as we understand the term.
