 3 Intro|     Ionians. In the philosophy of motion there were different accounts
 4 Intro|          they refuse to attribute motion or power to Being; 6. they
 5 Intro|    knowledge, and therefore is in motion. And, indeed, how can we
 6 Intro|       everlasting form, devoid of motion and soul? for there can
 7 Intro|         nor can soul be devoid of motion. But neither can thought
 8 Intro|      reproached the dualists; for motion and rest are contradictions—
 9 Intro|     affirms this mean to say that motion is rest, or rest motion? ‘
10 Intro|           motion is rest, or rest motion? ‘No; he means to assert
11 Intro|           that being and rest and motion, and all other things, are
12 Intro|           principle of rest or of motion, or of a plurality of immutable
13 Intro|        communion with all things, motion will rest, and rest will
14 Intro|    highest kinds are being, rest, motion; and of these, rest and
15 Intro|            and of these, rest and motion exclude each other, but
16 Intro|          cannot be either rest or motion, because predicated both
17 Intro|       predicated both of rest and motion; nor yet being; because
18 Intro|        principles: (1) being, (2) motion, which is not (3) rest,
19 Intro|         other than the other. And motion is not being, but partakes
20 Intro|           being, not-being, rest, motion, individual, universal,
21 Intro|       beauty and good. Mind is in motion as well as at rest (Soph.);

23  Soph|            And when things having motion, and aiming at an appointed

26  Soph|           be made to believe that motion and life and soul and mind
27  Soph|      being, then, we must include motion, and that which is moved.~
28  Soph|           is, that if there is no motion, neither is there any mind
29  Soph|      grant that all things are in motion—upon this view too mind
30  Soph|        those who assert universal motion. As children say entreatingly ‘
31  Soph|         you not say that rest and motion are in the most entire opposition
32  Soph|          or either of them are in motion?~THEAETETUS: Certainly not.~
33  Soph|      nature, under which rest and motion are alike included; and,
34  Soph|         when we say that rest and motion are.~STRANGER: Then being
35  Soph|           combination of rest and motion, but something different
36  Soph|         own nature, is neither in motion nor at rest.~THEAETETUS:
37  Soph|          for that which is not in motion must be at rest, and again,
38  Soph|         is not at rest must be in motion; but being is placed outside
39  Soph|      refuse to attribute being to motion and rest, or anything to
40  Soph|    respect; in that case rest and motion cannot participate in being
41  Soph|         the doctrine of universal motion as of universal rest, and
42  Soph|        that things ‘are’ truly in motion, and others that they ‘are’
43  Soph|          THEAETETUS: Why, because motion itself would be at rest,
44  Soph|           rest, and rest again in motion, if they could be attributed
45  Soph|     mentioning—being and rest and motion.~THEAETETUS: Yes, by far.~
46  Soph|            STRANGER: But, surely, motion and rest are neither the
47  Soph|          Whatever we attribute to motion and rest in common, cannot
48  Soph|        Why not?~STRANGER: Because motion would be at rest and rest
49  Soph|      would be at rest and rest in motion, for either of them, being
50  Soph|           we must not assert that motion, any more than rest, is
51  Soph|         then again in saying that motion and rest have being, we
52  Soph|          STRANGER: First there is motion, which we affirm to be absolutely ‘
53  Soph|            True.~STRANGER: Again, motion is other than the same?~
54  Soph|            STRANGER: Yet, surely, motion is the same, because all
55  Soph|           not object to say, that motion is the same and is not the
56  Soph|         STRANGER: And if absolute motion in any point of view partook
57  Soph|           no absurdity in calling motion stationary.~THEAETETUS:
58  Soph|         then. May we not say that motion is other than the other,
59  Soph|           according to this view, motion is other and also not other?~
60  Soph|           step? Shall we say that motion is other than the three
61  Soph|         without fear contend that motion is other than being?~THEAETETUS:
62  Soph|          The plain result is that motion, since it partakes of being,
63  Soph| necessarily exists in the case of motion and of every class; for
