 5 Intro|      devoid of some principle of rest or stability. And as children
 6 Intro|         dualists; for motion and rest are contradictions—how then
 7 Intro|       mean to say that motion is rest, or rest motion? ‘No; he

23 Intro|          to the other side, from rest to motion, from Xenophanes
24  Soph|       quite so acceptable to the rest of the company as Socrates
25  Soph|      that which is in a state of rest cannot be acted upon, as
26  Soph|     exist without a principle of rest?~THEAETETUS: Certainly not.~
27  Soph|         say that the whole is at rest, either as unity or in many
28  Soph|           Would you not say that rest and motion are in the most
29  Soph|      imply that they are both at rest, when you say that they
30  Soph|     distinct nature, under which rest and motion are alike included;
31  Soph|          thing, when we say that rest and motion are.~STRANGER:
32  Soph|        is not the combination of rest and motion, but something
33  Soph|         neither in motion nor at rest.~THEAETETUS: That is very
34  Soph|         not in motion must be at rest, and again, that which is
35  Soph|      again, that which is not at rest must be in motion; but being
36  Soph|    attribute being to motion and rest, or anything to anything,
37  Soph|        any respect; in that case rest and motion cannot participate
38  Soph| universal motion as of universal rest, and also the doctrine of
39  Soph|         that they ‘are’ truly at rest.~THEAETETUS: Just so.~STRANGER:
40  Soph|        motion itself would be at rest, and rest again in motion,
41  Soph|     itself would be at rest, and rest again in motion, if they
42  Soph|         now mentioning—being and rest and motion.~THEAETETUS:
43  Soph|          But, surely, motion and rest are neither the other nor
44  Soph|          attribute to motion and rest in common, cannot be either
45  Soph|       Because motion would be at rest and rest in motion, for
46  Soph|      motion would be at rest and rest in motion, for either of
47  Soph|       that motion, any more than rest, is either the same or the
48  Soph|        in saying that motion and rest have being, we should also
49  Soph|          absolutely ‘other’ than rest: what else can we say?~THEAETETUS:
50  Soph|   STRANGER: And therefore is not rest.~THEAETETUS: Certainly not.~
