Summary/Abstract: The search for the Perfectest Being, Full of the Act, Thoughts of thought or simply God takes at least three different forms at Stagirite. He tries to show his presence through philosophical analyzes in a physical, noetic and metaphysical perspective. In this article the author tries to present the individual elements of the physical perspective as one of the three perspectives of theoretical philosophy, in which Aristotle indicates the necessity of God's existence. In this perspective, he takes the name of the First Advocate. To achieve this goal, he analyzes the complexity of all movement in the material world and is based on two principles: 1) every moving being is moved by another being; 2) when searching for the ultimate cause of movement, you can not go back indefinitely.
