  1  II, 2 |         another. And the case of the essence is similar. For in the case
  2  II, 2 |              end is a limit.~But the essence, also, cannot be reduced
  3 III, 2 |              no demonstration of the essence of things. And if of another,
  4 III, 3 |               For the formula of the essence is one; but definition by
  5 III, 4 |     reasonable that the substance or essence, that which the matter is
  6 III, 4 |         should exist; for if neither essence nor matter is to be, nothing
  7 III, 4 |              was their nature, their essence being just unity and being.
  8  IV, 2 |               And to investigate the essence of these is the work of
  9  IV, 2 |              to investigate both the essence of these concepts and their
 10  IV, 4 |              away with substance and essence. For they must say that
 11  IV, 4 |            of a thing means that the essence of the thing is nothing
 12  IV, 4 |            not being a man, then its essence will be something else.
 13  IV, 4 |          white, whiteness is not his essence. But if all statements are
 14  IV, 5 |          necessity, as they leave no essence of anything; for the necessary
 15  IV, 7 |              definite thing; for its essence is something different.-
 16   V, 1 |            and thought and will, and essence, and the final cause-for
 17   V, 2 |           i.e. the definition of the essence, and the classes which include
 18   V, 2 |            the parts), others as the essence (the whole, the synthesis,
 19   V, 4 |              it in virtue of its own essence. Those things are said to
 20   V, 4 |                5) "Nature" means the essence of natural objects, as with
 21   V, 4 |         water), but also the form or essence, which is the end of the
 22   V, 4 |              sense of "nature" every essence in general has come to be
 23   V, 4 |            of a thing is one kind of essence.~From what has been said,
 24   V, 4 |              and strict sense is the essence of things which have in
 25   V, 6 |          definition which states the essence of one is indivisible from
 26   V, 6 |          things the thought of whose essence is indivisible, and cannot
 27   V, 6 |          whole and complete.~(3) The essence of what is one is to be
 28   V, 6 |        definitions which state their essence are more than one.~
 29   V, 8 |           limits all things.-(4) The essence, the formula of which is
 30   V, 9 |              number, and those whose essence is one, are said to be the
 31   V, 9 |             the definitions of their essence are more than one; and in
 32   V, 9 |             their otherness in their essence.~Those things are called "
 33   V, 14|               the differentia of the essence, e.g. man is an animal of
 34   V, 14|       quality-the differentia of the essence, but (2) there is another
 35   V, 14|             that which exists in the essence of numbers besides quantity
 36   V, 14|         quantity is quality; for the essence of each is what it is once,
 37   V, 14|            is the differentia of the essence, and of this the quality
 38   V, 15|          relative because their very essence includes in its nature a
 39   V, 17|     substance of each thing, and the essence of each; for this is the
 40   V, 18|            virtue of itself:-(1) the essence of each thing, e.g. Callias
 41   V, 27|              also necessary that the essence remain; if a cup is mutilated,
 42   V, 27|           such as in virtue of their essence have a certain position.
 43   V, 27|            those which determine the essence nor any chance parts, irrespective
 44   V, 28|             are said to "be" signify essence, others a quality, others
 45   V, 29|              i.e. the account of its essence, but in a sense there are
 46   V, 30|             itself but is not in its essence, as having its angles equal
 47  VI, 1 |          offer any discussion of the essence of the things of which they
 48  VI, 1 | demonstration of substance or of the essence, but some other way of exhibiting
 49  VI, 1 |             the mode of being of the essence and of its definition, for,
 50 VII, 3 |           main objects; for both the essence and the universal and the
 51 VII, 4 |          these was thought to be the essence, we must investigate this.
 52 VII, 4 |     linguistic remarks about it. The essence of each thing is what it
 53 VII, 4 |             your very nature is your essence.~Nor yet is the whole of
 54 VII, 4 |             is the whole of this the essence of a thing; not that which
 55 VII, 4 |            white surface’-is not the essence of surface, because "surface"
 56 VII, 4 |           this is the formula of the essence of each thing. Therefore
 57 VII, 4 |            there is a formula of the essence of each of them, i.e. whether
 58 VII, 4 |      compounds also there belongs an essence, e.g. "white man". Let the
 59 VII, 4 |              by "cloak". What is the essence of cloak? But, it may be
 60 VII, 4 |              e.g. if in defining the essence of white one were to state
 61 VII, 4 |             is white indeed, but its essence is not to be white.~But
 62 VII, 4 |              But is being-a-cloak an essence at all? Probably not. For
 63 VII, 4 |           all? Probably not. For the essence is precisely what something
 64 VII, 4 |    substances. Therefore there is an essence only of those things whose
 65 VII, 4 |            will be no definition nor essence.~Or has "definition", like "
 66 VII, 4 |        evident what language we use, essence will belong, just as "what
 67 VII, 4 |           other categories also,-not essence in the simple sense, but
 68 VII, 4 |            the simple sense, but the essence of a quality or of a quantity.
 69 VII, 4 |         evident, that definition and essence in the primary and simple
 70 VII, 5 |         Therefore there is either no essence and definition of any of
 71 VII, 5 |           such things should have an essence; if they have, there will
 72 VII, 5 |             or, as we definition and essence must be said to have more
 73 VII, 5 |             and nothing will have an essence, except substances, but
 74 VII, 5 |     definition is the formula of the essence, and essence belongs to
 75 VII, 5 |          formula of the essence, and essence belongs to substances either
 76 VII, 6 |           whether each thing and its essence are the same or different.
 77 VII, 6 |          from its substance, and the essence is said to be the substance
 78 VII, 6 |             to be different from the essence of white man. For if they
 79 VII, 6 |            if they are the same, the essence of man and that of white
 80 VII, 6 |              people say, so that the essence of white man and that of
 81 VII, 6 |             does not follow that the essence of accidental unities should
 82 VII, 6 |             to be the same, e.g. the essence of white and that of musical;
 83 VII, 6 |          necessarily the same as its essence? E.g. if there are some
 84 VII, 6 |              the Ideas to be?-If the essence of good is to be different
 85 VII, 6 |            from good-itself, and the essence of animal from animal-itself,
 86 VII, 6 |          from animal-itself, and the essence of being from being-itself,
 87 VII, 6 |              be prior substances, if essence is substance. And if the
 88 VII, 6 |              good-itself has not the essence of good, and the latter
 89 VII, 6 |          thing only when we know its essence. And (b) the case is the
 90 VII, 6 |             the good; so that if the essence of good is not good, neither
 91 VII, 6 |             not good, neither is the essence of reality real, nor the
 92 VII, 6 |             of reality real, nor the essence of unity one. And all essences
 93 VII, 6 |            them does; so that if the essence of reality is not real,
 94 VII, 6 |             Again, that to which the essence of good does not belong
 95 VII, 6 |           then, must be one with the essence of good, and the beautiful
 96 VII, 6 |           and the beautiful with the essence of beauty, and so with all
 97 VII, 6 |          thing itself, then, and its essence are one and the same in
 98 VII, 6 |           least, is just to know its essence, so that even by the exhibition
 99 VII, 6 |         itself is identical with its essence; for both that to which
100 VII, 6 |           sense the accident and its essence are the same, and in a sense
101 VII, 6 |          sense they are not; for the essence of white is not the same
102 VII, 6 |           there would be yet another essence besides the original one,
103 VII, 6 |            original one, e.g. to the essence of horse there will belong
104 VII, 6 |           there will belong a second essence. Yet why should not some
105 VII, 6 |       essences from the start, since essence is substance? But indeed
106 VII, 6 |             only are a thing and its essence one, but the formula of
107 VII, 6 |             not by accident that the essence of one, and the one, are
108 VII, 6 |            for we shall have (1) the essence of one, and (2) the one,
109 VII, 6 |              one and the same as its essence. The sophistical objections
110 VII, 6 |             thing is the same as its essence and in what sense it is
111 VII, 7 |          artist. (By form I mean the essence of each thing and its primary
112 VII, 7 |            without matter I mean the essence.~Of the productions or processes
113 VII, 8 |         production of it, nor is the essence produced; for this is that
114 VII, 8 |            brazen sphere. But if the essence of sphere in general is
115 VII, 10|              these as parts of their essence, but rather as matter; and
116 VII, 10|       formula, i.e. the form and the essence of a body of a certain kind (
117 VII, 10|             of the form (i.e. of the essence), or of the compound of
118 VII, 10|         being a right angle" and the essence of the right angle is the
119 VII, 11|            stone, are no part of the essence of the circle, since it
120 VII, 11|           everything which is not an essence and a bare form but a "this".
121 VII, 11|           considered later.~What the essence is and in what sense it
122 VII, 11|          also why the formula of the essence of some things contains
123 VII, 11|              we have stated that the essence and the thing itself are
124 VII, 11|               e.g. curvature and the essence of curvature if this is
125 VII, 13|            As the substratum and the essence and the compound of these
126 VII, 13|          have spoken; both about the essence and about the substratum,
127 VII, 13|           substance is one and whose essence is one are themselves also
128 VII, 13|              in the way in which the essence is so, can be present in
129 VII, 13|       clearly it is a formula of the essence. And it makes no difference
130 VII, 14|             can this "animal", whose essence is simply animality, exist
131 VII, 17|           the cause. And this is the essence (to speak abstractly), which
132 VII, 17|           Because that which was the essence of a house is present. And
133 VIII, 1|            are other substances, the essence and the substratum. Again,
134 VIII, 1|            substances. And since the essence is substance, and the definition
135 VIII, 1|       definition is a formula of the essence, for this reason we have
136 VIII, 3|          sensible substance; for the essence certainly attaches to the
137 VIII, 3|             thing is the same as its essence, and on another it is not.~
138 VIII, 3|            so the definition and the essence will no longer remain when
139 VIII, 4|                The formal cause? His essence. The final cause? His end.
140 VIII, 6|             sphere, but this was the essence of either. Of matter some
141 VIII, 6|          their definitions), and the essence of each of them is by its
142   X, 2 |             quarter-tones, and their essence would not have been number;
143   X, 3 |            definition of its primary essence is one; e.g. equal straight
144   X, 9 |              so not in virtue of its essence but in the matter, ie. the
145   X, 10|              then must either be the essence or be present in the essence
146   X, 10|         essence or be present in the essence of each perishable thing.
147  XI, 6 |            not four cubits long. But essence depends on quality, and
148 XII, 6 |           will not be enough, if its essence is potency; for there will
149 XII, 6 |              a principle, whose very essence is actuality. Further, then,
150 XII, 7 |          object of thought, i.e. the essence, is thought. But it is active
151 XII, 8 |              is one. But the primary essence has not matter; for it is
152 XII, 9 |      sciences it is the substance or essence of the object, matter omitted,
153 XIII, 4|       Socrates should be seeking the essence, for he was seeking to syllogize,
154 XIII, 4|             without knowledge of the essence to speculate about contraries
155 XIII, 4|              all the elements in the essence are Ideas, e.g. "animal"
156 XIII, 7|             so great a difference of essence.~
157 XIV, 1 |            which they take to be the essence of plurality-matter for
158 XIV, 1 |          both it is generated by the essence of the One.) For even the
159 XIV, 5 |             the numbers that are the essence or the causes of the form;
160 XIV, 5 |           form; for the ratio is the essence, while the number the causes
161 XIV, 5 |           form; for the ratio is the essence, while the number is the
162 XIV, 5 |              is the matter. E.g. the essence of flesh or bone is number
163 XIV, 5 |           earth or of units; but the essence is that there is so much
