1 III, 1 | most perplexing, whether unity and being, as the Pythagoreans 2 III, 3 | some also of those who say unity or being, or the great and 3 III, 3 | so that both being and unity will be principles and substances; 4 III, 3 | not possible that either unity or being should be a single 5 III, 3 | differentiae; so that if unity or being is a genus, no 6 III, 3 | being or be one. But if unity and being are not genera, 7 III, 3 | principle.-But again, if unity is more of the nature of 8 III, 3 | individuals will have more unity.-Further, in the case of 9 III, 4 | so far as they have some unity and identity, and in so 10 III, 4 | truth is whether being and unity are the substances of things, 11 III, 4 | anything else, is being or unity respectively, or we must 12 III, 4 | must inquire what being and unity are, with the implication 13 III, 4 | Pythagoreans thought being and unity were nothing else, but this 14 III, 4 | their essence being just unity and being. But the natural 15 III, 4 | more intelligible-says what unity is; for he would seem to 16 III, 4 | being one. Others say this unity and being, of which things 17 III, 4 | these also must say that unity and being are precisely 18 III, 4 | A) If we do not suppose unity and being to be substances, 19 III, 4 | all, and if there is no unity itself or being-itself, 20 III, 4 | individuals. Further, if unity is not a substance, evidently 21 III, 4 | unity-itself and a being itself, unity and being must be their 22 III, 4 | are and are one, but just unity and being. But if there 23 III, 4 | both views. For whether unity is not a substance or there 24 III, 4 | why this result follows if unity is not a substance; and 25 IV, 2 | science.~If, now, being and unity are the same and are one 26 IV, 2 | means the same thing, and unity is nothing apart from being; 27 IV, 2 | many species of being as of unity. And to investigate the 28 IV, 2 | these or from plurality and unity, must fall within the province 29 IV, 2 | essential modifications of unity qua unity and of being qua 30 IV, 2 | modifications of unity qua unity and of being qua being, 31 IV, 2 | being and non-being, and to unity and plurality, as for instance 32 IV, 2 | instance rest belongs to unity and movement to plurality. 33 IV, 2 | are evidently reducible to unity and plurality (this reduction 34 IV, 2 | composed of contraries, and unity and plurality are the starting-points 35 IV, 2 | contraries), even if being or unity is not a universal and the 36 IV, 2 | it probably is not; the unity is in some cases that of 37 IV, 2 | contrariety or completeness or unity or being or the same or 38 IV, 4 | another accident; for no unity can be got out of such a 39 V, 3 | many as possible), and that unity and the point are thought 40 V, 4 | contact and either by organic unity, or by organic adhesion 41 V, 4 | case of embryos. Organic unity differs from contact; for 42 V, 6 | horse, man, and dog form a unity, because all are animals), 43 V, 6 | whole, i.e. unless it has unity of form; e.g. if we saw 44 V, 6 | fourth. The latter kinds of unity are always found when the 45 V, 9 | therefore, sameness is a unity of the being either of more 46 V, 15| the same. For all refer to unity. Those things are the same 47 V, 26| contains that they form a unity; and this in two senses-either 48 V, 26| thing, or as making up the unity between them. For (a) that 49 V, 26| is a whole, when it is a unity consisting of several parts, 50 V, 26| as we said in the case of unity also, wholeness being in 51 VI, 4 | thoughts but they become a unity); for falsity and truth 52 VII, 6 | real, nor the essence of unity one. And all essences alike 53 VII, 9 | to be, it is its concrete unity that comes to be (for the 54 VII, 12| wherein can consist the unity of that, the formula of 55 VII, 12| belong to the other, but a unity when it does belong and 56 VII, 12| certain attribute; for then a unity is produced and we have " 57 VII, 12| for on this principle a unity can be made out of all the 58 VII, 16| air; for none of them is a unity, but as it were a mere heap, 59 VII, 16| they are worked up and some unity is made out of them. One 60 VII, 16| abnormality.~Since the term "unity" is used like the term " 61 VII, 16| numerically one, evidently neither unity nor being can be the substance 62 VII, 16| these concepts "being" and "unity" are more substantial than " 63 VIII, 6| what is the cause of their unity? In the case of all things 64 VIII, 6| contact is the cause of unity in some cases, and in others 65 VIII, 6| what is the cause of the unity of "round" and "bronze"? 66 VIII, 6| nature essentially a kind of unity, as it is essentially a 67 VIII, 6| its very nature a kind of unity as it is a kind of being-and 68 VIII, 6| kind of being and a kind of unity, not as being in the genus " 69 VIII, 6| the sense that being and unity can exist apart from particulars.~ 70 VIII, 6| to the difficulty about unity some speak of "participation", 71 VIII, 6| general is the cause of unity and of a thing’s being one; 72 VIII, 6| one; for each thing is a unity, and the potential and the 73 IX, 1 | as a thing is an organic unity, it cannot be acted on by 74 X, 1 | of these, that has more unity and is prior, whose movement 75 X, 1 | which one of these kinds of unity belongs will be one; but " 76 X, 1 | remarkable.~Evidently, then, unity in the strictest sense, 77 X, 2 | only a predicate, clearly unity also cannot be a substance; 78 X, 2 | substance; for being and unity are the most universal of 79 X, 2 | similar in all the kinds of unity. Now "unity" has just as 80 X, 2 | the kinds of unity. Now "unity" has just as many meanings 81 X, 2 | is its nature just this, unity, is evident; but as in colours 82 X, 2 | substance. That in a sense unity means the same as being 83 X, 3 | these equality constitutes unity.~Things are like if, not 84 X, 5 | black has more claim to unity. Yet even this has not one 85 XI, 1 | turn out to be being and unity; for these might most of 86 XI, 2 | unchangeable principles, being and unity, firstly, if each of these 87 XI, 2 | predicated of all things (and unity also of some); but that 88 XI, 2 | that the first principle is unity and this is substance, and 89 XI, 2 | as the first product from unity and from matter, assert 90 XI, 2 | there is a substance of unity and the point? Every substance 91 XI, 3 | being are plurality and unity, or likeness and unlikeness, 92 XI, 3 | referred to being or to unity. For even if they are not 93 XI, 12| the things out of which a unity naturally arises in virtue 94 XI, 12| touching, there is no organic unity); therefore a point is not 95 XII, 3 | contact and not, by organic unity are matter and substratum, 96 XII, 4 | intelligibles, e.g. being or unity, is an element; for these 97 XII, 4 | are the principles, or any unity which is produced out of 98 XIII, 7| it is possible that any unity is inassociable with any, 99 XIII, 7| but as two men are not a unity apart from both, so must 100 XIII, 8| least if the number is a unity and not like a heap, i.e. 101 XIII, 8| standpoint they treated unity, their first principle, 102 XIII, 8| being treated as a whole, a unity, and a form. But (2) because 103 XIII, 8| universal they treated the unity which can be predicated 104 XIII, 8| Again, if the 2-itself is a unity and the 3-itself is one 105 XIII, 9| For when we apprehend the unity in 2, or in general in a 106 XIV, 3 | from its instances-of the unity of each general term they 107 XIV, 3 | kinds of number is a 1, unity will be something common 108 XIV, 4 | substance lay mainly in its unity.~This, then, is the problem,- 109 XIV, 5 | be able to think of the unity and the plurality apart;
