  1  II, 2  |        Again, nothing infinite can exist; and if it could, at least
  2 III, 1  |            alone should be said to exist or others also besides them,
  3 III, 1  |          not, and whether this can exist apart or not, and whether
  4 III, 1  |      things, and (13) whether they exist potentially or actually,
  5 III, 2  |          or the nature of the good exist for unchangeable things,
  6 III, 2  |           this principle could not exist, nor could there be a good
  7 III, 2  |          sensible substances alone exist, or that there are others
  8 III, 2  |       treat; for these also cannot exist apart from the sensible
  9 III, 2  |         and the perceptible things exist, not apart from the perceptible
 10 III, 2  |          would one suppose them to exist indeed, but to exist in
 11 III, 2  |            to exist indeed, but to exist in perceptible things? For
 12 III, 3  |      genera of these things do not exist apart from the species,
 13 III, 3  |        these things are thought to exist if any do). But among the
 14 III, 3  |            these also no genus can exist. From these considerations,
 15 III, 3  |            principle or cause must exist alongside of the things
 16 III, 3  |          suppose any such thing to exist alongside of the individual,
 17 III, 4  |          necessary that the genera exist apart from the individuals,
 18 III, 4  |            generation and movement exist there must also be a limit;
 19 III, 4  |          time coming to be, should exist; for if neither essence

 21 III, 4  |         how will perishable things exist, if their principles are

 24 III, 4  |           an indivisible thing can exist in such a way as to have
 25 III, 5  |        before, afterwards does not exist, this change is thought
 26 III, 5  |   perishing, when they at one time exist and at another do not. For
 27 III, 5  |     together one boundary does not exist but has perished, and when
 28 III, 5  |        been divided the boundaries exist which before did not exist (
 29 III, 5  |         exist which before did not exist (for it cannot be said that
 30 III, 6  |          must therefore be held to exist. Even if those who support
 31 III, 6  |        suppose both that the Forms exist and that the principles

 33 III, 6  |        actual.-But if the elements exist potentially, it is possible
 34  IV, 5  |         says the void and the full exist alike in every part, and
 35  IV, 5  |           it is changing, does not exist, yet it is after all disputable;
 36  IV, 5  |           nor the sensations would exist is doubtless true (for they
 37  IV, 5  |           the sensation should not exist even apart from sensation
 38   V, 2  |      causes, i.e. the individuals, exist, or do not exist, simultaneously
 39   V, 2  |      individuals, exist, or do not exist, simultaneously with the
 40   V, 11 |          for the definition cannot exist as a whole without the part;
 41   V, 11 |             yet musicalness cannot exist unless there is some one
 42   V, 11 |           dissolved that they will exist in complete reality.) In
 43   V, 11 |         sense; for some things can exist without others in respect
 44   V, 29 |             There are things which exist, but whose nature it is
 45   V, 29 |           to be things that do not exist, e.g. a sketch or a dream;
 46   V, 29 |     because they themselves do not exist, or because the appearance
 47   V, 29 |            something that does not exist.~(2) A false account is
 48  VI, 1  |            deal exists or does not exist, because it belongs to the
 49  VI, 1  |            deals with things which exist separately but are not immovable,
 50  VI, 1  |    immovable but presumably do not exist separately, but as embodied
 51  VI, 1  |       deals with things which both exist separately and are immovable.
 52  VI, 2  |          part, the accidental must exist; for instance a pale man
 53  VI, 3  |     accidentally its cause. Will A exist or not? It will if B happens;
 54  VI, 3  |            if not, not. And B will exist if C happens. And thus if
 55  VI, 4  |           falsity and truth do not exist even in thought—this being
 56 VII, 1  |          other categories none can exist independently, but only
 57 VII, 2  |            how sensible substances exist, and whether there is a
 58 VII, 6  |             And all essences alike exist or none of them does; so
 59 VII, 6  |            if they were they would exist only by being participated
 60 VII, 9  |     Therefore some things will not exist apart from some one who
 61 VII, 9  |           and the form must always exist before), so is it both in
 62 VII, 9  |         substance, that there must exist beforehand in complete reality
 63 VII, 10 |          not. For they cannot even exist if severed from the whole;
 64 VII, 10 |          is not clear whether they exist or not; but they are always
 65 VII, 11 |         materials, as a circle may exist in bronze or stone or wood,
 66 VII, 11 |       things which are not seen to exist apart, there is no reason
 67 VII, 11 |      suppose that man can possibly exist without his parts, as the
 68 VII, 12 |          genus absolutely does not exist apart from the species-of-a-genus,
 69 VII, 13 |           of anything, nor does it exist apart from the species or
 70 VII, 13 |       elements present in formulae exist apart.~If, then, we view
 71 VII, 14 |     differentiae. For if the Forms exist and "animal" is present
 72 VII, 14 |        will the one in things that exist apart be one, and how will
 73 VII, 14 |       essence is simply animality, exist apart from animal-itself?~
 74 VII, 15 |             an individual, and can exist apart; and the formula must
 75 VII, 15 |            nay more, they can also exist apart, if "man" can exist
 76 VII, 15 |          exist apart, if "man" can exist apart. For either neither
 77 VII, 15 |            can, the genus will not exist apart from the various species;
 78 VII, 16 |           separated, then too they exist, all of them, merely as
 79 VII, 16 |             Yet all the parts must exist only potentially, when they
 80 VII, 16 |            those who say the Forms exist, in one respect are right,
 81 VII, 16 |      imperishable substances which exist apart from the individual
 82 VII, 17 |            the syllable, no longer exist, but the elements of the
 83 VII, 17 |           elements of the syllable exist, and so do fire and earth);
 84 VIII, 2 |        position",(or a purpose may exist as well in some cases),
 85 VIII, 3 |            destructible things can exist apart, is not yet at all
 86 VIII, 3 |        case of things which cannot exist apart from the individual
 87 VIII, 4 |       belong to those things which exist by nature but are not substances;
 88 VIII, 4 |       final cause perhaps does not exist. The formal principle is
 89 VIII, 6 |         the man, so that men would exist by participation not in
 90 VIII, 6 |           that being and unity can exist apart from particulars.~
 91  IX, 3  |     hypothesi they do not actually exist, they would have to exist
 92  IX, 3  |          exist, they would have to exist actually if they were moved.
 93  IX, 3  |           non-existent things some exist potentially; but they do
 94  IX, 3  |       potentially; but they do not exist, because they do not exist
 95  IX, 3  |         exist, because they do not exist in complete reality.~
 96  IX, 6  |          said in the same sense to exist actually, but only by analogy-as
 97  IX, 6  |         similar things are said to exist potentially and actually
 98  IX, 6  |          But the infinite does not exist potentially in the sense
 99  IX, 7  |         result of thought comes to exist in complete reality from
100  IX, 7  |           a thing is to be said to exist potentially and when it
101  IX, 8  |         imperishable things, then, exist actually. Nor can anything
102  IX, 8  |     anything which is of necessity exist potentially; yet these things
103  IX, 8  |      primary; for if these did not exist, nothing would exist. Nor
104  IX, 8  |           not exist, nothing would exist. Nor does eternal movement,
105  IX, 8  |        movement, if there be such, exist potentially; and, if there
106  IX, 9  |             then, the bad does not exist apart from bad things; for
107  IX, 10 |          about them). And they all exist actually, not potentially;
108  IX, 10 |            way, and if it does not exist in this way does not exist
109  IX, 10 |         exist in this way does not exist at all. And truth means
110  IX, 10 |      objects, and falsity does not exist, nor error, but only ignorance-and
111  XI, 1  |         evidently the Forms do not exist. (But it is hard to say,
112  XI, 1  |        even if one suppose them to exist, why in the world the same
113  XI, 1  |  mathematics; for none of them can exist separately. But again it
114  XI, 2  |       there is something which can exist apart by itself and belongs
115  XI, 2  |            This, however, does not exist in actuality, but exists
116  XI, 2  |         substance at all which can exist apart and independent. But
117  XI, 2  |   principle and substance seems to exist and is sought by nearly
118  XI, 7  |            but its subjects cannot exist apart. Therefore about that
119  XI, 7  |     Therefore about that which can exist apart and is unmovable there
120  XI, 8  |          of which C was cause will exist of necessity, down to the
121  XI, 8  |           cause be supposed not to exist but to be coming to be,
122  XI, 8  |           which is outside and can exist apart, that are sought);
123  XI, 8  |       accident. For as a thing may exist, so it may be a cause, either
124  XI, 8  |         sphere; for purpose cannot exist without thought. The causes
125  XI, 10 |       Further, how can an infinite exist by itself, unless number
126  XI, 10 |          number and magnitude also exist by themselvess-since infinity
127  XI, 10 |      evidently the infinite cannot exist actually. For then any part
128  XI, 10 |            place, but these cannot exist in an infinite body. In
129  XI, 12 |            in this series will not exist, and therefore no following
130  XI, 12 |        therefore no following term exist. Nothing, then, can either
131 XII, 1  |           other than substance can exist apart. And the early philosophers
132 XII, 3  |          cases the "this" does not exist apart from the composite
133 XII, 3  |          form of house does not so exist, unless the art of building
134 XII, 3  |             and all ideals of art, exist and do not exist); but if
135 XII, 3  |           of art, exist and do not exist); but if the "this" exists
136 XII, 3  |          earth). The moving causes exist as things preceding the
137 XII, 5  |                  5~Some things can exist apart and some cannot, and
138 XII, 5  | modifications and movements do not exist. Further, these causes will
139 XII, 5  |         exists actually, if it can exist apart, and so does the complex
140 XII, 5  |           of which we spoke do not exist. For it is the individual
141 XII, 6  |           an after if time did not exist. Movement also is continuous,
142 XII, 6  |            existing but not yet to exist.~Yet if we follow the theologians
143 XII, 6  |   Therefore chaos or night did not exist for an infinite time, but
144 XII, 7  |             That a final cause may exist among unchangeable entities
145 XII, 7  |        cannot be otherwise but can exist only in a single way.~On
146 XII, 10 |            things that have matter exist only potentially; and the
147 XII, 10 |          sensible things no others exist, there will be no first
148 XII, 10 |        Forms or the numbers are to exist, they will be causes of
149 XIII, 1 |        objects of mathematics they exist or not, and if they exist,
150 XIII, 1 |          exist or not, and if they exist, how they exist. Then after
151 XIII, 1 |            if they exist, how they exist. Then after this we must
152 XIII, 1 |         the objects of mathematics exist, they must exist either
153 XIII, 1 |       mathematics exist, they must exist either in sensible objects,
154 XIII, 1 |          said by some); or if they exist in neither of these ways,
155 XIII, 1 |           ways, either they do not exist, or they exist only in some
156 XIII, 1 |         they do not exist, or they exist only in some special sense.
157 XIII, 1 |           will be not whether they exist but how they exist.~
158 XIII, 1 |            they exist but how they exist.~
159 XIII, 2 |            mathematical objects to exist in sensible things, and
160 XIII, 2 |        characteristics also should exist in sensible things and none
161 XIII, 2 |          that such entities should exist separately. For if besides
162 XIII, 2 |        requires this. But if these exist, again besides the planes
163 XIII, 2 |          argument the planes which exist by themselves must be prior
164 XIII, 2 |        lines other than those that exist along with the mathematical
165 XIII, 2 |          existence; for the latter exist along with the mathematical
166 XIII, 2 |        sensible planes-those which exist apart from the sensible
167 XIII, 2 |            solids, and those which exist apart from those in the
168 XIII, 2 |          objects of astronomy will exist apart from sensible things
169 XIII, 2 |          which has movement-should exist apart? Similarly also the
170 XIII, 2 |       optics and of harmonics will exist apart; for there will be
171 XIII, 2 |       other objects of sense, will exist apart; for why should one
172 XIII, 2 |         the former entities should exist separate from sensible things.~
173 XIII, 2 |          objects of mathematics to exist thus as separate entities.
174 XIII, 2 |         entities. For because they exist thus they must be prior
175 XIII, 2 |           For if attributes do not exist apart from the substances (
176 XIII, 2 |      substantiality. For it cannot exist separately, but is always
177 XIII, 2 |   definition, and that they cannot exist somewhere apart. But since
178 XIII, 2 |           not possible for them to exist in sensibles either, it
179 XIII, 2 |            that they either do not exist at all or exist in a special
180 XIII, 2 |      either do not exist at all or exist in a special sense and therefore
181 XIII, 2 |        sense and therefore do not "exist" without qualification.
182 XIII, 2 |        without qualification. For "exist" has many senses.~
183 XIII, 3 |        deal not with objects which exist separately, apart from extended
184 XIII, 3 |       things which are inseparable exist (for instance, that mobiles
185 XIII, 3 |         for instance, that mobiles exist), it is true also to say
186 XIII, 3 |         the objects of mathematics exist, and with the character
187 XIII, 3 |      things, and their subjects do exist; for being has two forms-it
188 XIII, 4 |             we have said that they exist and in what sense they exist,
189 XIII, 4 |       exist and in what sense they exist, and in what sense they
190 XIII, 4 |      universals or the definitions exist apart: they, however, gave
191 XIII, 4 |           is proved that the Forms exist, none is convincing; for
192 XIII, 5 |       whose substance it is should exist apart; how, therefore, could
193 XIII, 5 |          the substances of things, exist apart?~In the Phaedo the
194 XIII, 5 |     becoming. Yet though the Forms exist, still things do not come
195 XIII, 6 |           in which the numbers can exist. And of those who say that
196 XIII, 6 |           say both kinds of number exist, that which has a before
197 XIII, 6 |         numbers nor say that Ideas exist; and others speak of the
198 XIII, 7 |          numbers, neither can they exist at all. For from what principles
199 XIII, 7 |         before the numbers 4 and 5 exist.-Now none of these thinkers
200 XIII, 8 |           of the unit, why it must exist, and, failing this, what
201 XIII, 8 |         the objects of mathematics exist and the numbers are the
202 XIII, 8 |       mathematical number alone to exist, the 1 is not the starting-point (
203 XIII, 8 |          neither is, number cannot exist separately.~It is evident,
204 XIII, 8 |         real thing, that it should exist in one of these ways which
205 XIII, 8 |        mentioned, and if it cannot exist in any of these, evidently
206 XIII, 8 |           10.~Again, if number can exist separately, one might ask
207 XIII, 9 |          spatial magnitudes cannot exist apart from things. Again,
208 XIII, 9 |       objects of mathematics alone exist apart from sensible things,
209 XIII, 9 |         mathematical number was to exist apart from ideal, made ideal
210 XIII, 9 |            supposed that the Forms exist and that the Forms are numbers
211 XIII, 9 |         the objects of mathematics exist, naturally separated the
212 XIII, 10|          identical syllable cannot exist in the plural number. But
213 XIV, 1  |            a subject, and none can exist apart, but just as appearances
214 XIV, 2  |     justifies the belief that they exist. To the believer in Ideas
215 XIV, 3  |           who suppose the Ideas to exist and to be numbers, by their
216 XIV, 3  |            somehow why number must exist. Since their reasons, however,
217 XIV, 3  |      objects of mathematics do not exist apart; for if they existed
218 XIV, 3  |   posterior; for if number did not exist, none the less spatial magnitudes
219 XIV, 3  |           spatial magnitudes would exist for those who maintain the
220 XIV, 3  |         spatial magnitudes did not exist, soul and sensible bodies
221 XIV, 3  |          and sensible bodies would exist. But the observed facts
222 XIV, 3  |          mathematical number is to exist and of what it is to consist.
223 XIV, 6  |           then, and does the thing exist because of its number, or
