   Book, Paragraph
1 IV, 2 | thing is one in no merely accidental way, and similarly is from 2 IV, 4 | impossible to enumerate its accidental attributes, which are infinite 3 IV, 4 | that all attributes are accidental; for this is the distinction 4 IV, 4 | and accident-"white" is accidental to man, because though he 5 IV, 4 | But if all statements are accidental, there will be nothing primary 6 IV, 4 | which they are made, if the accidental always implies predication 7 IV, 4 | terms can be combined in accidental predication. For (1) an 8 IV, 4 | white, only because both are accidental to man. But (2) Socrates 9 IV, 4 | sense, that both terms are accidental to something else. Since 10 IV, 4 | then some predicates are accidental in this and some in that 11 IV, 4 | sense, (a) those which are accidental in the latter sense, in 12 IV, 4 | sense, in which white is accidental to Socrates, cannot form 13 IV, 4 | white" have another term accidental to it, e.g. "musical". For 14 IV, 4 | musical". For this is no more accidental to that than that is to 15 IV, 4 | while some predicates are accidental in this sense, others are 16 IV, 4 | sense in which "musical" is accidental to Socrates; and the accident 17 IV, 4 | that not all terms will be accidental. There must, then, even 18 V, 2 | the same thing, and in no accidental sense (e.g. both the art 19 V, 2 | effect. Again, there are accidental causes and the classes which 20 V, 2 | classes that include the accidental cause are also causes, e.g. " 21 V, 2 | and man is an animal. Of accidental causes also some are more 22 V, 2 | causes, whether proper or accidental, some are called causes 23 V, 2 | similarly in the case of accidental effects. Again, both accidental 24 V, 2 | accidental effects. Again, both accidental and proper causes may be 25 V, 2 | as the genus, or as the accidental, or as the genus that includes 26 V, 2 | genus that includes the accidental, and these either as combined, 27 V, 7 | are said to "be" (1) in an accidental sense, (2) by their own 28 V, 7 | their own nature.~(1) In an accidental sense, e.g. we say "the 29 V, 7 | one thing is said in an accidental sense to be another, this 30 V, 9 | which is the same in an accidental sense, e.g. "the pale" and " 31 VI, 2 | one was seen’ to be the accidental, and another the true (’ 32 VI, 2 | we must say regarding the accidental, that there can be no scientific 33 VI, 2 | naturally enough; for the accidental is practically a mere name. 34 VI, 2 | say, above all with the accidental; e.g. the question whether " 35 VI, 2 | arguments of this sort; the accidental is obviously akin to non-being. 36 VI, 2 | say further, regarding the accidental, what its nature is and 37 VI, 2 | of the existence of the accidental; for that which is neither 38 VI, 2 | for the most part, we call accidental. For instance, if in the 39 VI, 2 | productive of them, but to accidental results there corresponds 40 VI, 2 | accident, the cause also is accidental. Therefore, since not all 41 VI, 2 | are for the most part, the accidental must exist; for instance 42 VI, 2 | sometimes happens, it must be accidental (if not, everything will 43 VI, 2 | must be the cause of the accidental. And we must take as our 44 VI, 2 | which is fortuitous and accidental. But while the usual exists, 45 VI, 2 | there is no science of the accidental is obvious; for all science 46 VI, 2 | for the most part; but the accidental is contrary to such laws. 47 VI, 2 | have stated, then, what the accidental is, and from what cause 48 VI, 4 | 4~Let us dismiss accidental being; for we have sufficiently 49 VII, 6 | thing.~Now in the case of accidental unities the two would be 50 VII, 6 | follow that the essence of accidental unities should be the same 51 VII, 6 | and the same in no merely accidental way, as is evident both 52 VII, 6 | must be one.~(But of an accidental term, e.g.’the musical’ 53 VII, 6 | for both that to which the accidental quality belongs, and the 54 VII, 6 | quality belongs, and the accidental quality, are white, so that 55 VII, 11| their essences, nor are accidental unities like that of "Socrates" 56 VII, 12| if we divide according to accidental qualities, e.g. if we were 57 VIII, 5| corruptions in question are accidental, and it is the matter of 58 IX, 10| what a thing is, save in an accidental sense; and the same holds 59 X, 8 | differentiated in no merely accidental way, whether conceived as 60 X, 10| perishable. For what is accidental is capable of not being 61 XI, 8 | busies itself about the accidental. For neither does architecture 62 XI, 8 | busies itself about the accidental, so that Plato is not far 63 XI, 8 | non-being.~That a science of the accidental is not even possible will 64 XI, 8 | if we try to see what the accidental really is. We say that everything 65 XI, 8 | might happen sometimes. The accidental, then, is what occurs, but 66 XI, 8 | Now we have said what the accidental is, and it is obvious why 67 XI, 8 | for the most part, but the accidental is in neither of these classes.~ 68 XI, 8 | causes and principles of the accidental, of the same kind as there 69 XI, 8 | this was supposed to be accidental). Therefore all things will 70 XI, 8 | indeterminate (I mean the accidental); and of such a thing the 71 XI, 8 | by accident. Luck is an accidental cause at work in such events 72 XI, 8 | is large.~Since nothing accidental is prior to the essential, 73 XI, 8 | the essential, neither are accidental causes prior. If, then, 74 XI, 11| change, some change in an accidental sense, like that in which " 75 XI, 11| causes movement either in an accidental sense or in respect of a 76 XI, 11| heating.
