1 II, 3 | the legendary and childish elements prevail over our knowledge 2 III, 1 | are the principles and elements of things the genera, or 3 III, 3 | that should be taken as elements and principles, or rather 4 III, 3 | consist that are thought to be elements and principles of articulate 5 III, 3 | and we give the name of "elements" to those geometrical propositions, 6 III, 3 | who say there are several elements of corporeal things and 7 III, 3 | rest are the constituent elements of things, but does not 8 III, 3 | great and the small, are elements of things, seem to treat 9 III, 4 | concrete thing these two elements?~(9) Again, one might ask 10 III, 4 | whenever it occurs, the elements it are also the same in 11 III, 4 | nothing else besides the elements (for there is no difference 12 III, 4 | it will be just as if the elements of articulate sound were 13 III, 4 | which consist of the same elements are, some of them, eternal 14 III, 4 | he does not know all the elements; for he has in him no strife, 15 III, 4 | all perishable except the elements. The difficulty we are speaking 16 III, 4 | must consist of certain elements (for all things that perish, 17 III, 4 | being resolved into the elements of which they consist); 18 III, 4 | expressed by those who make the elements more than one; for these 19 III, 6 | limited in number (just as the elements of all the language in this 20 III, 6 | kind, unless one takes the elements of this individual syllable 21 III, 6 | individual articulate sound-whose elements will be limited even in 22 III, 6 | the question whether the elements exist potentially or in 23 III, 6 | to be actual.-But if the elements exist potentially, it is 24 IV, 1 | then those who sought the elements of existing things were 25 IV, 1 | it is necessary that the elements must be elements of being 26 IV, 1 | that the elements must be elements of being not by accident 27 V, 3 | into other kinds; e.g. the elements of speech are the parts 28 V, 3 | Similarly those who speak of the elements of bodies mean the things 29 V, 3 | or more, they call these elements. The so-called elements 30 V, 3 | elements. The so-called elements of geometrical proofs, and 31 V, 3 | proofs, and in general the elements of demonstrations, have 32 V, 3 | demonstrations, are called elements of demonstrations; and the 33 V, 3 | most universal things are elements (because each of them being 34 V, 3 | some say the genera are elements, and more so than the differentia, 35 V, 4 | way that people call the elements of natural objects also 36 V, 25 | a part of three.-(2) The elements into which a kind might 37 V, 25 | parts of the genus.-(3) The elements into which a whole is divided, 38 V, 25 | angle are parts.-(4) The elements in the definition which 39 VI, 1 | have first principles and elements and causes, and in general 40 VII, 10 | it is not, but only the elements of which the formula of 41 VII, 11 | of definitions, how the elements in the formula are parts 42 VII, 13 | substance, that none of the elements in their formulae is the 43 VII, 13 | nor does any other of the elements present in formulae exist 44 VII, 14 | animal" for one of its elements. Further, many things will 45 VII, 14 | And further, (ii) all the elements of which "man" is composed 46 VII, 15 | belong also to both the elements; e.g. "two-footed animal" 47 VII, 15 | even necessary, since the elements are prior to and parts of 48 VII, 15 | Ideas (as they must, since elements are simpler than the compound), 49 VII, 15 | further necessary that the elements also of which the Idea consists, 50 VII, 17 | definitely that certain elements make up a certain whole. 51 VII, 17 | the syllable is not its elements, ba is not the same as b 52 VII, 17 | no longer exist, but the elements of the syllable exist, and 53 VII, 17 | is something-not only its elements (the vowel and the consonant) 54 VII, 17 | an element or composed of elements, (1) if it is an element 55 VII, 17 | matter; e.g. a and b are the elements of the syllable.~ 56 VIII, 1 | causes, principles, and elements of substances are the object 57 X, 1 | because we come to know the elements in the substance by dividing 58 XI, 1 | which are by some called elements; all men suppose these to 59 XI, 10 | composite body, since the elements are limited in multitude. 60 XI, 10 | something apart from the elements, from which they generate 61 XI, 10 | such body apart from the elements; for everything can be resolved 62 XI, 10 | fire nor any other of the elements. For apart from the question 63 XI, 10 | philosophers posit besides the elements. For everything changes 64 XI, 10 | destruction to the contrary elements. But if the parts are infinite 65 XI, 10 | be an infinite number of elements; and if this is impossible, 66 XII, 1 | sought the principles and elements and causes. The thinkers 67 XII, 1 | which we must grasp the elements, whether one or many; and 68 XII, 4 | whether the principles and elements are different or the same 69 XII, 4 | For then from the same elements will proceed relative terms 70 XII, 4 | all things have the same elements? For none of the elements 71 XII, 4 | elements? For none of the elements can be the same as that 72 XII, 4 | that which is composed of elements, e.g. b or a cannot be the 73 XII, 4 | compounds as well.) None of the elements, then, will be either a 74 XII, 4 | then, have not the same elements.~Or, as we are wont to put 75 XII, 4 | have not; e.g. perhaps the elements of perceptible bodies are, 76 XII, 4 | must be different from the elements. These things then have 77 XII, 4 | things then have the same elements and principles (though specifically 78 XII, 4 | have specifically different elements); but all things have not 79 XII, 4 | things have not the same elements in this sense, but only 80 XII, 4 | air.~Since not only the elements present in a thing are causes, 81 XII, 4 | analogically there are three elements, and four causes and principles; 82 XII, 4 | and principles; but the elements are different in different 83 XII, 5 | cause of man is (1) the elements in man (viz. fire and earth 84 XII, 5 | have different causes and elements, as was said; the causes 85 XII, 5 | what are the principles or elements of substances and relations 86 XII, 10 | be dissolved into their elements, and there are other functions 87 XII, 10 | itself is one of the two elements. But the other school does 88 XIII, 4 | definition? For all the elements in the essence are Ideas, 89 XIII, 7 | dyad, and the principles or elements are said to be principles 90 XIII, 7 | said to be principles and elements of number, and the Ideas 91 XIII, 7 | indefinite dyad are to be the elements. But if the results are 92 XIII, 8 | each thing contain all the elements, nor are the units without 93 XIII, 9 | same; for from the same elements will come one and the same 94 XIII, 9 | will be divisible) and the elements will not be the one and 95 XIII, 9 | parts of a distance, as the elements out of which the units are 96 XIII, 9 | and the first causes and elements, the views expressed by 97 XIII, 9 | substances, and that the elements of these are elements and 98 XIII, 9 | the elements of these are elements and principles of real things, 99 XIII, 10| are we to conceive their elements and their principles?~If 100 XIII, 10| of the same number as the elements, and (b) the elements will 101 XIII, 10| the elements, and (b) the elements will not be knowable. For ( 102 XIII, 10| be substances, and their elements elements of substances; 103 XIII, 10| substances, and their elements elements of substances; then there 104 XIII, 10| one of any of the other elements, on the same principle on 105 XIII, 10| things existing besides the elements, but only the elements.~( 106 XIII, 10| the elements, but only the elements.~(b) Again, the elements 107 XIII, 10| elements.~(b) Again, the elements will not be even knowable; 108 XIII, 10| they make the Ideas out of elements and at the same time claim 109 XIII, 10| e.g. in the case of the elements of speech, the a’s and the 110 XIV, 1 | unequal and the One are the elements, and the unequal is a dyad 111 XIV, 1 | principles which they call elements, for some name the great 112 XIV, 1 | and treat these three as elements of numbers, two being matter, 113 XIV, 1 | number should come from the elements before does; for number 114 XIV, 1 | to substance. Again, (d) elements are not predicated of the 115 XIV, 1 | things of which they are elements, but many and few are predicated 116 XIV, 2 | eternal things can consist of elements. If they do, they will have 117 XIV, 2 | everything that consists of elements is composite. Since, then, 118 XIV, 2 | could it consist of such elements), and since the potential 119 XIV, 2 | is actuality-and if the elements are matter that underlies 120 XIV, 2 | eternal substance can have elements present in it, of which 121 XIV, 2 | they construct out of those elements.~There are many causes which 122 XIV, 3 | element, he will be making his elements rather many. And if the 123 XIV, 3 | surface or of seed or of elements which they cannot express, 124 XIV, 4 | in the question how the elements and the principles are related 125 XIV, 4 | this, whether any of the elements is such a thing as we mean 126 XIV, 4 | later in origin than the elements. The theologians seem to 127 XIV, 5 | existing things come from elements and that the first of existing 128 XIV, 5 | it is different from its elements, and on this view the one 129 XIV, 5 | syllable? But then (1) the elements must have position; and ( 130 XIV, 5 | does number come from these elements? Only things that are generated 131 XIV, 5 | generated can come from elements which are present in them. 132 XIV, 5 | number come, then, from its elements as from seed? But nothing
