  1  II, 2  |         evidently there is a first principle, and the causes of things
  2 III, 1  |            animal or man the first principle and the more independent
  3 III, 2  |  principles pertain. For how can a principle of change or the nature
  4 III, 2  |           unchangeable things this principle could not exist, nor could
  5 III, 2  |         science for each different principle, which of these sciences
  6 III, 2  |            For clearly on the same principle there will be lines besides
  7 III, 3  |          the highest genus to be a principle.-But again, if unity is
  8 III, 3  |            more of the nature of a principle, and the indivisible is
  9 III, 3  |       taken as principles. For the principle or cause must exist alongside
 10 III, 3  |          things of which it is the principle, and must be capable of
 11 III, 4  |         maintains that strife is a principle that causes destruction,
 12 III, 4  |        inequality and was the same principle in either case. For it is
 13 III, 4  |       either from the one and this principle, or from some number and
 14 III, 4  |          from some number and this principle.~
 15  IV, 2  |          implied in one another as principle and cause are, not in the
 16  IV, 3  |  philosopher, and the most certain principle of all is that regarding
 17  IV, 3  |            be mistaken; for such a principle must be both the best known (
 18  IV, 3  |            non-hypothetical. For a principle which every one must have
 19  IV, 3  |       study. Evidently then such a principle is the most certain of all;
 20  IV, 3  |         most certain of all; which principle this is, let us proceed
 21  IV, 4  |         persons could not say what principle they maintain to be more
 22   V, 12 |       other. For in virtue of that principle, in virtue of which a patient
 23   V, 12 |          disposition and cause and principle which fits it to suffer
 24   V, 12 |        having a positive habit and principle, and by having the privation
 25   V, 12 |            other, has a potency or principle which can destroy it. Again,
 26   V, 12 |            capacity-i.e. of such a principle as has been described either
 27   V, 24 |           As from the first moving principle; e.g. "what did the fight
 28  VI, 1  |            substance which has the principle of its movement and rest
 29  VI, 1  |            case of things made the principle is in the maker-it is either
 30  VI, 2  |         the most part, this is the principle and this the cause of the
 31 VII, 7  |      physician’s power.~The active principle then and the starting point
 32 VII, 12 |          in one thing; for on this principle a unity can be made out
 33 VII, 13 |       fullest sense a cause, and a principle; therefore let us attack
 34 VII, 16 |           as being an element or a principle cannot be the substance,
 35 VII, 16 |         but we ask what, then, the principle is, that we may reduce the
 36 VII, 16 |         are more substantial than "principle" or "element" or "cause",
 37 VII, 17 |        Since, then, substance is a principle and a cause, let us pursue
 38 VII, 17 |            is not an element but a principle. An element, on the other
 39 VIII, 4 |           the art, i.e. the moving principle, is the same; for if both
 40 VIII, 4 |         does not exist. The formal principle is the definitory formula,
 41  IX, 7  |        when through its own motive principle it has already got such
 42  IX, 7  |            it needs another motive principle, just as earth is not yet
 43  IX, 8  |         kind which is said to be a principle of change in another thing
 44  IX, 8  |        other, but in general every principle of movement or of rest.
 45  IX, 8  |            as potency; for it is a principle of movement-not, however,
 46  IX, 8  |        comes to be moves towards a principle, i.e. an end (for that for
 47  IX, 8  |           which a thing is, is its principle, and the becoming is for
 48  IX, 8  |            to potency and to every principle of change.~
 49   X, 1  |            a thing has by nature a principle of movement that is of the
 50  XI, 1  |          that have in themselves a principle. of movement and rest),
 51  XI, 1  |           the simpler is more of a principle than the less simple, and
 52  XI, 1  |            in its destruction is a principle of it. These and others
 53  XI, 2  |            probability.-But if the principle we now seek is not separable
 54  XI, 2  |          shape is a more important principle than this; but the form
 55  XI, 2  |            paradoxical; for such a principle and substance seems to exist
 56  XI, 2  |            there is a substance or principle of such a nature as that
 57  XI, 2  |        world, if there is the same principle, some of the things that
 58  XI, 2  |         things that fall under the principle are eternal, and others
 59  XI, 2  |   paradoxical. But if there is one principle of perishable and another
 60  XI, 2  |           a like difficulty if the principle of perishable things, as
 61  XI, 2  |           eternal; for why, if the principle is eternal, are not the
 62  XI, 2  |         things that fall under the principle also eternal? But if it
 63  XI, 2  |           it is perishable another principle is involved to account for
 64  XI, 2  |       right who say that the first principle is unity and this is substance,
 65  XI, 2  |            we to suppose the first principle to be substance?~Further,
 66  XI, 5  |                       5~There is a principle in things, about which we
 67  XI, 5  |         itself from a more certain principle, yet this is necessary if
 68  XI, 5  |        shall be identical with the principle that the same thing cannot
 69  XI, 6  | definitions of contraries to their principle.~Similarly, no intermediate
 70  XI, 7  |          of productive science the principle of movement is in the producer
 71  XI, 7  |          that have in themselves a principle of movement. It is clear
 72  XI, 7  |            what" and use this as a principle, we must not fall to observe
 73  XI, 7  |        with the things that have a principle of movement in themselves;
 74  XI, 7  |            first and most dominant principle. Evidently, then, there
 75  XI, 10 |        infinite is substance and a principle). Therefore it must be impartible
 76  XI, 10 |          it cannot be it that is a principle, but that of which it is
 77 XII, 1  |            science, if there is no principle common to it and to the
 78 XII, 3  |          spontaneity. Now art is a principle of movement in something
 79 XII, 3  |           thing moved, nature is a principle in the thing itself (for
 80 XII, 4  |       moving cause, clearly while "principle" and "element" are different
 81 XII, 4  |    different both are causes, and "principle" is divided into these two
 82 XII, 4  |    producing movement or rest is a principle and a substance. Therefore
 83 XII, 5  |            that is the originative principle of the individuals. For
 84 XII, 5  |       while man is the originative principle of man universally, there
 85 XII, 5  |          Peleus is the originative principle of Achilles, and your father
 86 XII, 5  |         general is the originative principle of ba taken without qualification.~
 87 XII, 6  |        there is to be in them some principle which can cause change;
 88 XII, 6  |        There must, then, be such a principle, whose very essence is actuality.
 89 XII, 7  |           is in this sense a first principle. For the necessary has all
 90 XII, 7  |            a single way.~On such a principle, then, depend the heavens
 91 XII, 8  |          have mentioned. The first principle or primary being is not
 92 XII, 10 |            for this is the sort of principle that constitutes the nature
 93 XII, 10 |            in the highest degree a principle. The school we first mentioned
 94 XII, 10 |       right in saying that it is a principle, but how the good is a principle
 95 XII, 10 |   principle, but how the good is a principle they do not say-whether
 96 XII, 10 |           with love, but this is a principle both as mover (for it brings
 97 XII, 10 |           that the same thing is a principle both as matter and as mover,
 98 XII, 10 |       which respect then is love a principle? It is paradoxical also
 99 XII, 10 |            makes the good a motive principle; for his "reason" moves
100 XII, 10 |        suppose another, a superior principle, and so must those who believe
101 XII, 10 |             there will be no first principle, no order, no becoming,
102 XII, 10 |          heavenly bodies, but each principle will have a principle before
103 XII, 10 |         each principle will have a principle before it, as in the accounts
104 XII, 10 | essentially a productive or moving principle; for it would be possible
105 XIII, 3 |       treat this sort of causative principle also (i.e. the beautiful)
106 XIII, 6 |            the 1 is an element and principle of things suppose numbers
107 XIII, 8 |         treated unity, their first principle, as a point; for the unit
108 XIII, 9 |        small". And the originative principle of such things which answers
109 XIII, 10|        other elements, on the same principle on which an identical syllable
110 XIII, 10|      substance, but the element or principle is universal, and the element
111 XIII, 10|      universal, and the element or principle is prior to the things of
112 XIII, 10|          things of which it is the principle or element.~All these difficulties
113 XIV, 1  |        anything prior to the first principle of all things, the principle
114 XIV, 1  |       principle of all things, the principle cannot be the principle
115 XIV, 1  |            principle cannot be the principle and yet be an attribute
116 XIV, 1  |          that the white is a first principle, not qua anything else but
117 XIV, 1  |       contrary, then, is the first principle of all things in the full
118 XIV, 1  |          the full sense; the first principle is something different.~
119 XIV, 3  |            rather many. And if the principle of each of the two kinds
120 XIV, 4  |            that the one is a first principle. The objection arises not
121 XIV, 4  |    ascribing goodness to the first principle as an attribute, but from
122 XIV, 4  |          the one a principle-and a principle in the sense of an element-and
123 XIV, 4  |            the other made reason a principle. Of those who maintain the
124 XIV, 4  |    Therefore to say that the first principle is good is probably correct;
125 XIV, 4  |    probably correct; but that this principle should be the One or, if
126 XIV, 4  |            that the One is a first principle and element, but only of
127 XIV, 4  |            because they make every principle an element, partly because
