  2  II, 2  |               term prior to them, the prior must be the cause of the
  3 III, 1  |       contrariety, and with regard to prior and posterior and all other
  4 III, 2  |         nature more authoritative and prior? The axioms are most universal
  5 III, 3  |               is so in species is the prior, and genera are divisible
  6 III, 3  |              which the distinction of prior and posterior is present,
  7 III, 3  |            the individuals one is not prior and another posterior. Further,
  8 III, 3  |           worse, the better is always prior; so that of these also no
  9 III, 4  |               so that it follows that prior to the principles there
 10 III, 6  |          there will be something else prior to the first principles;
 11 III, 6  |        principles; for the potency is prior to the actual cause, and
 12 III, 6  |               not be other principles prior to them, namely those knowable;
 13  IV, 2  |              have no correct idea, is prior to these other things. For
 14  IV, 2  |               named and the concepts "prior" and "posterior", "genus"
 15  IV, 5  |              sensation, which must be prior to the sensation; for that
 16  IV, 5  |               for that which moves is prior in nature to that which
 17   V, 2  |             kind some are causes in a prior and others in a posterior
 18   V, 11 |                         11~The words "prior" and "posterior" are applied (
 19   V, 11 |               people; e.g. things are prior in place because they are
 20   V, 11 |           posterior.-Other things are prior in time; some by being farther
 21   V, 11 |         events (for the Trojan war is prior to the Persian, because
 22   V, 11 |              for the Nemean games are prior to the Pythian, if we treat
 23   V, 11 |            present).-Other things are prior in movement; for that which
 24   V, 11 |             nearer the first mover is prior (e.g. the boy is prior to
 25   V, 11 |             is prior (e.g. the boy is prior to the man); and the prime
 26   V, 11 |      beginning absolutely.-Others are prior in power; for that which
 27   V, 11 |            i.e. the more powerful, is prior; and such is that according
 28   V, 11 | posterior-must follow, so that if the prior does not set it in motion
 29   V, 11 |               a beginning.-Others are prior in arrangement; these are
 30   V, 11 |              chorus the second man is prior to the third, and in the
 31   V, 11 |               second lowest string is prior to the lowest; for in the
 32   V, 11 |               These, then, are called prior in this sense, but (2) in
 33   V, 11 |           another sense that which is prior for knowledge is treated
 34   V, 11 |            treated as also absolutely prior; of these, the things that
 35   V, 11 |            these, the things that are prior in definition do not coincide
 36   V, 11 |          coincide with those that are prior in relation to perception.
 37   V, 11 |             definition universals are prior, in relation to perception
 38   V, 11 |       definition also the accident is prior to the whole, e.g. "musical"
 39   V, 11 |        musical.~(3) The attributes of prior things are called prior,
 40   V, 11 |               prior things are called prior, e.g. straightness is prior
 41   V, 11 |           prior, e.g. straightness is prior to smoothness; for one is
 42   V, 11 |           Some things then are called prior and posterior in this sense,
 43   V, 11 |                firstly the subject is prior, so that substance is prior;
 44   V, 11 |           prior, so that substance is prior; secondly, according as
 45   V, 11 |         account, different things are prior, for some things are prior
 46   V, 11 |            prior, for some things are prior in respect of potency, others
 47   V, 11 |              potency the half line is prior to the whole line, and the
 48   V, 11 |            all things that are called prior and posterior are so called
 49  VI, 1  |         mathematics, but to a science prior to both. For physics deals
 50  VI, 1  |               science of this must be prior and must be first philosophy,
 51 VII, 3  |              Therefore if the form is prior to the matter and more real,
 52 VII, 3  |             and more real, it will be prior also to the compound of
 53 VII, 6  |               substances nor entities prior to them-substances such
 54 VII, 6  |        secondly, these others will be prior substances, if essence is
 55 VII, 6  |          posterior substances and the prior are severed from each other, (
 56 VII, 10 |              further if the parts are prior to the whole, and the acute
 57 VII, 10 |               the acute angle will be prior to the right angle and finger
 58 VII, 10 |              latter are thought to be prior; for in formula the parts
 59 VII, 10 |             each other the wholes are prior to the parts.~Perhaps we
 60 VII, 10 |               formula is divided, are prior to it, either all or some
 61 VII, 10 |         according to its formula, are prior, either all or some of them.
 62 VII, 10 |            that the parts of soul are prior, either all or some of them,
 63 VII, 10 |            thing these are in a sense prior, but in a sense they are
 64 VII, 10 |                Some parts are neither prior nor posterior to the whole,
 65 VII, 10 |             circle and the animal are prior, or the things into which
 66 VII, 10 |          included in the formula, but prior to those included in the
 67 VII, 10 |            have maintained, be called prior and others must not.~
 68 VII, 12 |               posterior and the other prior? Regarding the definitions,
 69 VII, 13 |             the quality, will then be prior to substance and to the "
 70 VII, 13 |              can the modifications be prior to the substance; for then
 71 VII, 15 |                since the elements are prior to and parts of the compound;
 72 VII, 15 |          animal" and "two-footed" are prior in being to "two-footed
 73 VII, 15 |         animal"; and things which are prior to others are not destroyed
 74  IX, 1  |            latter the formulae of the prior kinds of potency are somehow
 75  IX, 8  |             of the various senses of "prior", it is clear that actuality
 76  IX, 8  |               clear that actuality is prior to potency. And I mean by
 77  IX, 8  |           potency, then, actuality is prior both in formula and in substantiality;
 78  IX, 8  |     substantiality; and in time it is prior in one sense, and in another
 79  IX, 8  |        another not.~(1) Clearly it is prior in formula; for that which
 80  IX, 8  |              other.~(2) In time it is prior in this sense: the actual
 81  IX, 8  |              not yet actually so, are prior in time; but prior in time
 82  IX, 8  |                are prior in time; but prior in time to these are other
 83  IX, 8  |               generation and of time, prior to potency.~But (3) it is
 84  IX, 8  |           potency.~But (3) it is also prior in substantiality; firstly, (
 85  IX, 8  |             posterior in becoming are prior in form and in substantiality (
 86  IX, 8  |           substantiality (e.g. man is prior to boy and human being to
 87  IX, 8  |             obvious that actuality is prior in substantial being to
 88  IX, 8  |           mover.~But (b) actuality is prior in a stricter sense also;
 89  IX, 8  |                for eternal things are prior in substance to perishable
 90  IX, 8  |         Obviously, then, actuality is prior both to potency and to every
 91   X, 1  |            that has more unity and is prior, whose movement is more
 92   X, 3  |               definition plurality is prior to the indivisible, because
 93   X, 5  |         unless we are proceeding on a prior assumption and asking something
 94   X, 7  |              way that it is something prior to the contraries, the differentiae
 95   X, 7  | species-of-a-genus will be contraries prior to the species; for species
 96   X, 7  |       piercing’ and "compressing"-are prior; so that these are prior
 97   X, 7  |              prior; so that these are prior contraries of one another.)
 98   X, 7  |             there are no other things prior to the contraries and homogeneous
 99  XI, 7  |              it must be different and prior to physics and universal
100  XI, 7  |               universal because it is prior.~
101  XI, 8  |           Since nothing accidental is prior to the essential, neither
102  XI, 8  |         neither are accidental causes prior. If, then, luck or spontaneity
103  XI, 10 |         virtue of its relation to the prior; i.e. a movement is called
104 XII, 4  |         predicated; but an element is prior to the things of which it
105 XII, 6  |                so that the potency is prior. But if this is so, nothing
106 XII, 6  |           account. To suppose potency prior to actuality, then, is in
107 XII, 6  |             senses. That actuality is prior is testified by Anaxagoras (
108 XII, 6  |              law), since actuality is prior to potency. If, then, there
109 XII, 7  |           other individuals which are prior and complete, and the first
110 XII, 8  |              the mover is eternal and prior to the moved, and that which
111 XII, 8  |              moved, and that which is prior to a substance must be a
112 XIII, 2 |            are separate from them and prior to the sensible solids,
113 XIII, 2 |       separate. (For incomposites are prior to compounds; and if there
114 XIII, 2 |          compounds; and if there are, prior to the sensible bodies,
115 XIII, 2 |           exist by themselves must be prior to those which are in the
116 XIII, 2 |          solids, while the others are prior to the mathematical solids.)
117 XIII, 2 |              these planes, lines, and prior to them there will have
118 XIII, 2 |           other lines and points; and prior to these points in the prior
119 XIII, 2 |          prior to these points in the prior lines there will have to
120 XIII, 2 |               there will be no others prior to these. Now (1) the accumulation
121 XIII, 2 |             always deals with what is prior. And (the same account will
122 XIII, 2 |               exist thus they must be prior to sensible spatial magnitudes,
123 XIII, 2 |               the order of generation prior, but in the order of substance
124 XIII, 2 |            the order of generation is prior in the order of substantiality,
125 XIII, 2 |     substantiality, the solid will be prior to the plane and the line.
126 XIII, 2 |            Grant, then, that they are prior in definition. Still not
127 XIII, 2 |               not all things that are prior in definition are also prior
128 XIII, 2 |          prior in definition are also prior in substantiality. For those
129 XIII, 2 |  substantiality. For those things are prior in substantiality which
130 XIII, 2 |             existence, but things are prior in definition to those whose
131 XIII, 2 |          mobile" or a pale’), pale is prior to the pale man in definition,
132 XIII, 2 |             the result of abstraction prior nor that which is produced
133 XIII, 2 |            are, and that they are not prior to sensibles in being, but
134 XIII, 3 |         dealing with things which are prior in definition and simpler,
135 XIII, 4 |            and in what sense they are prior and in what sense not prior.
136 XIII, 4 |           prior and in what sense not prior. Now, regarding the Ideas,
137 XIII, 4 |             number is first, and that prior to number is the relative,
138 XIII, 4 |            relative, and that this is prior to the absolute-besides
139 XIII, 7 |            cannot be ranked as either prior or posterior to the numbers.~
140 XIII, 7 |       way-since, if one unit is to be prior to the other, it will be
141 XIII, 7 |              to the other, it will be prior also to 2 the composed of
142 XIII, 7 |               when there is one thing prior and another posterior, the
143 XIII, 7 |            resultant of these will be prior to one and posterior to
144 XIII, 7 |               1,-so the units must be prior to the numbers after which
145 XIII, 7 |            And how do they consist of prior and posterior units? All
146 XIII, 7 |             it follows that there are prior and posterior 2 and similarly
147 XIII, 7 |           simultaneous; yet these are prior to those in the 8 and as
148 XIII, 7 |  differentiated units; and will it be prior to the 3 or posterior? It
149 XIII, 7 |          rather seems that it must be prior; for one of the units is
150 XIII, 8 |              unit? Again, the unit is prior to the 2; for when it is
151 XIII, 8 |           Idea of an Idea since it is prior to an Idea, and it must
152 XIII, 8 |                one might ask which is prior—1, or 3 or 2? Inasmuch as
153 XIII, 8 |             number is composite, 1 is prior, but inasmuch as the universal
154 XIII, 8 |             universal and the form is prior, the number is prior; for
155 XIII, 8 |               is prior, the number is prior; for each of the units is
156 XIII, 8 |              sense the right angle is prior to the acute, because it
157 XIII, 8 |               in a sense the acute is prior, because it is a part and
158 XIII, 8 |              element and the unit are prior, but in respect of the form
159 XIII, 8 |              matter and the form, are prior; for the concrete thing
160 XIII, 8 |          right angle is thought to be prior to the acute, and the acute
161 XIII, 8 |          numbers and at the same time prior to 2; and again posterior,
162 XIII, 8 |             of the units in 2 must be prior to the 2. But they deny
163 XIII, 9 |           either of the units in 2 is prior.~Similar difficulties occur
164 XIII, 10|              or non-substance will be prior to substance; for the universal
165 XIII, 10|               element or principle is prior to the things of which it
166 XIV, 1  |              there cannot be anything prior to the first principle of
167 XIV, 1  |             then that subject will be prior. But all things which are
168 XIV, 1  |      not-substance an element in, and prior to, substance; for all the
169 XIV, 3  |           nothing to one another, the prior to the posterior; for if
