  3  II, 2 |             limit). Similarly the final causes cannot go on ad infinitum,-
  4  II, 2 |           infinite.~But if the kinds of causes had been infinite in number,
  5  II, 2 |                 we have ascertained the causes, that but that which is
  6  II, 3 |                 more to investigate the causes and the principles of things).~

  9 III, 2 |                 several sciences of the causes, and a different science
 10 III, 2 |               may have all the kinds of causes, e.g. the moving cause of
 11 III, 2 |               as dealing with the first causes and that which is in the
 12 III, 2 |           sciences to investigate these causes severally.~But (2), taking
 13 III, 2 |            demonstration as well as the causes, it is a disputable question
 14 III, 2 |               we say the Forms are both causes and self-dependent substances
 15 III, 4 |               very application of these causes is above our comprehension.
 16 III, 4 |                these are in no wise the causes of their existence; and
 17 III, 4 |             evidently the principles or causes of things cannot be the
 18 III, 4 |              strife is a principle that causes destruction, but even strife
 19  IV, 1 |              principles and the highest causes, clearly there must be some
 20  IV, 1 |               also must grasp the first causes.~
 21  IV, 2 |            grasp the principles and the causes.~Now for each one class
 22   V, 1 |          beginnings of demonstrations. (Causes are spoken of in an equal
 23   V, 1 |               number of senses; for all causes are beginnings.) It is common,
 24   V, 2 |               and number in general are causes of the octave), and the
 25   V, 2 |                 all the senses in which causes are spoken of, and as they
 26   V, 2 |             both that there are several causes of the same thing, and in
 27   V, 2 |            sculpture and the bronze are causes of the statue not in respect
 28   V, 2 |                  and that things can be causes of one another (e.g. exercise

 30   V, 2 |          presence and the privation-are causes as sources of movement.~
 31   V, 2 |            sources of movement.~All the causes now mentioned fall under
 32   V, 2 |                 all such things are the causes of bodies, and the parts
 33   V, 2 |               bodies, and the parts are causes of the whole, and the hypotheses
 34   V, 2 |                  and the hypotheses are causes of the conclusion, in the
 35   V, 2 |                 rest. The remainder are causes as the end and the good
 36   V, 2 |              good.~These, then, are the causes, and this is the number
 37   V, 2 |             kinds, but the varieties of causes are many in number, though
 38   V, 2 |             also are comparatively few. Causes are spoken of in many senses,
 39   V, 2 |               of the same kind some are causes in a prior and others in
 40   V, 2 |               the professional man" are causes of health, and both "the
 41   V, 2 |             ratio 2:1" and "number" are causes of the octave, and the classes
 42   V, 2 |             particular cause are always causes of the particular effect.
 43   V, 2 |             Again, there are accidental causes and the classes which include
 44   V, 2 |                one sense "the sculptor" causes the statue, in another sense "
 45   V, 2 |              another sense "Polyclitus" causes it, because the sculptor
 46   V, 2 |               accidental cause are also causes, e.g. "man"-or in general "
 47   V, 2 |                an animal. Of accidental causes also some are more remote
 48   V, 2 |                the musical" were called causes of the statue, and not only "
 49   V, 2 |          besides all these varieties of causes, whether proper or accidental,
 50   V, 2 |             accidental, some are called causes as being able to act, others
 51   V, 2 |                regard to the effects of causes; e.g. a thing may be called
 52   V, 2 |              both accidental and proper causes may be spoken of in combination;
 53   V, 2 |              two ways; for (A) they are causes either as the individual,
 54   V, 2 |           differ inasmuch as the acting causes, i.e. the individuals, exist,
 55   V, 2 |                things of which they are causes, e.g. this particular man
 56   V, 2 |                built; but the potential causes are not always in this case;
 57   V, 5 |              unqualified sense; and the causes of this necessity are the
 58  VI, 1 |          seeking the principles and the causes of the things that are,
 59  VI, 1 |             principles and elements and causes, and in general every science
 60  VI, 1 |           involves reasoning deals with causes and principles, more or
 61  VI, 1 |              and are immovable. Now all causes must be eternal, but especially
 62  VI, 1 |                 these; for they are the causes that operate on so much
 63  VI, 3 |                there are principles and causes which are generable and
 64  VI, 4 |                 and let us consider the causes and the principles of being
 65 VII, 9 |                cause health, because it causes that to which health attaches
 66 VIII, 1|          inquiry. We have said that the causes, principles, and elements
 67 VIII, 4|             same things for their first causes, and if the same matter
 68 VIII, 4|           something, one should, since "causes" are spoken of in several
 69 VIII, 4|                  state all the possible causes. what is the material cause
 70 VIII, 4|               same.-It is the proximate causes we must state. What is the
 71 VIII, 4|           natural and generable, if the causes are really these and of
 72 VIII, 4|                and we have to learn the causes, we must inquire thus, if
 73 VIII, 6|                 other form. What, then, causes this-that which was potentially
 74  IX, 8 |            potency, not actuality, that causes this.~Imperishable things
 75   X, 1 |         indivisible, so that that which causes substances to be one must
 76  XI, 1 |               supposed to deal with the causes which have been mentioned
 77  XI, 6 |               them and to dissipate the causes of their perplexity. This
 78  XI, 7 |            seeks certain principles and causes for each of its objects-e.
 79  XI, 8 |                 Evidently there are not causes and principles of the accidental,
 80  XI, 8 |                 and of such a thing the causes are unordered and indefinite.~
 81  XI, 8 |              exist without thought. The causes from which lucky results
 82  XI, 8 |                  neither are accidental causes prior. If, then, luck or
 83  XI, 8 |         universe, reason and nature are causes before it.~
 84  XI, 11|               case of the mover; for it causes movement either in an accidental
 85  XI, 11|                 something that directly causes movement; and there is something
 86 XII, 1 |              for the principles and the causes we are seeking are those
 87 XII, 1 |             principles and elements and causes. The thinkers of the present
 88 XII, 2 |              matter was in potency. The causes and the principles, then,
 89 XII, 3 |              begets man), and the other causes are privations of these
 90 XII, 3 |                 this earth). The moving causes exist as things preceding
 91 XII, 3 |              preceding the effects, but causes in the sense of definitions
 92 XII, 4 |                                   4~The causes and the principles of different
 93 XII, 4 |         elements present in a thing are causes, but also something external,
 94 XII, 4 |                  are different both are causes, and "principle" is divided
 95 XII, 4 |                three elements, and four causes and principles; but the
 96 XII, 4 |                will be in a sense three causes, while in a sense there
 97 XII, 5 |                all things have the same causes, because, without substances,
 98 XII, 5 |               not exist. Further, these causes will probably be soul and
 99 XII, 5 |              fall under the above-named causes. For the form exists actually,
100 XII, 5 |            species with him, but moving causes.~Further, one must observe
101 XII, 5 |              one must observe that some causes can be expressed in universal
102 XII, 5 |             potentiality. The universal causes, then, of which we spoke
103 XII, 5 |          qualification.~Further, if the causes of substances are the causes
104 XII, 5 |            causes of substances are the causes of all things, yet different
105 XII, 5 |         different things have different causes and elements, as was said;
106 XII, 5 |              elements, as was said; the causes of things that are not in
107 XII, 5 |               but in the sense that the causes of different individuals
108 XII, 5 | different-clearly when the names of the causes are used in several senses
109 XII, 5 |              used in several senses the causes of each are the same, but
110 XII, 5 |            senses are distinguished the causes are not the same but different,
111 XII, 5 |                the following senses the causes of all are the same. They
112 XII, 5 |                 all things; and (2) the causes of substances may be treated
113 XII, 5 |            substances may be treated as causes of all things in this sense,
114 XII, 5 |               there are different first causes, viz. all the contraries
115 XII, 6 |                For otherwise this again causes the motion both of the second
116 XII, 7 |               plants and of animals are causes, but beauty and completeness
117 XII, 10|              are to exist, they will be causes of nothing; or if not that,
118 XIII, 3|             definiteness) are obviously causes of many things, evidently
119 XIII, 4|               yet it was in seeking the causes of these that they proceeded
120 XIII, 5|             they might be thought to be causes, as white causes whiteness
121 XIII, 5|          thought to be causes, as white causes whiteness in a white object
122 XIII, 5|             this way-that the Forms are causes both of being and of becoming.
123 XIII, 5|                into being owing to such causes as produce the things just
124 XIII, 6|          separable substances and first causes of things. If number is
125 XIII, 8|            infer that the Forms are not causes. Again, it is paradoxical-if
126 XIII, 9|                principles and the first causes and elements, the views
127 XIV, 2 |                elements.~There are many causes which led them off into
128 XIV, 5 |               which way numbers are the causes of substances and of being-whether (
129 XIV, 5 |             that are the essence or the causes of the form; for the ratio

131 XIV, 6 |               why need these numbers be causes? There are seven vowels,
132 XIV, 6 |              describe them, making them causes of nature, seem, when we
