The word possible It is an extremely popular term in our language and that we use in various situations, to express for example what is feasible to exist or to happen and also to account for what is feasible to do.
Then everything that which can be, that is capable of existing or that exists and that can happen may be designated with the term of possible. It is possible that once Juan finishes his master's degree he will settle in France to develop his work. A nest may have formed in that window.
In the field of philosophy the theme of what is possible and what is not has been widely approached, from the most diverse currents and by different philosophers such as Parmenides, Plato and Aristotle, to name some of the most representative. In the case of Parmenides, when the question was put to him, he flatly maintained that being is and being is not. Meanwhile, Plato makes the distinction between two worlds, that of ideas, which is the true world, and that of things, the world sensitive, in this is where the question of the possible is present.
And Aristotle's contribution is to take the positions put forward by his two colleagues, Parmenides and Plato, and to propose another possibility based on both. For him, not being yes is possible, unlike what Parmenides argued and this is feasible thanks to the change o movement of things.
On the other hand, and with a less popular use than the previous references, we find another meaning for the word at hand: material goods, real estate, income or all those material means that someone holds, that is, all these questions scope and in property someone will make it a possible person.
There is also a expression extremely widespread in our language that contains the word in question which is that of do all the possible, an expression that we normally use to indicate all the efforts and the desire that have been put to achieve a certain objective. Laura has done everything possible to get her a new defibrillator for her medical room. population of her and her luckily she got it.
