1 IV, 2 | investigate opposites, and plurality is opposed to unity-and 2 IV, 2 | either from these or from plurality and unity, must fall within 3 IV, 2 | non-being, and to unity and plurality, as for instance rest belongs 4 IV, 2 | to unity and movement to plurality. And nearly all thinkers 5 IV, 2 | evidently reducible to unity and plurality (this reduction we must 6 IV, 2 | contraries, and unity and plurality are the starting-points 7 V, 3 | and simple is present in a plurality of things, either in all 8 V, 13| a "this". A quantum is a plurality if it is numerable, a magnitude 9 V, 13| if it is a measurable. "Plurality" means that which is divisible 10 V, 13| depth. Of these, limited plurality is number, limited length 11 VII, 12| man" and "pale" there is a plurality when one term does not belong 12 X, 1 | not a unit; number is a plurality of units.)~Knowledge, also, 13 X, 3 | opposition of the one and plurality as indivisible and divisible; 14 X, 3 | or divisible is called a plurality, and that which is indivisible 15 X, 3 | from the divisible, because plurality and the divisible is more 16 X, 3 | indivisible, so that in definition plurality is prior to the indivisible, 17 X, 3 | like and the equal, and to plurality belong the other and the 18 X, 6 | much and the little are in plurality what the long and the short 19 X, 6 | little (or few) will be a plurality. Therefore one is a plurality 20 X, 6 | plurality. Therefore one is a plurality if it is few; and this it 21 X, 6 | the one sense it means a plurality which is excessive either 22 X, 6 | while "few" is similarly a plurality which is deficient), and 23 X, 6 | however, in the sense of a plurality which is excessive either 24 X, 6 | absolutely; it is the first plurality. But without qualification 25 X, 6 | is few; for it is first plurality which is deficient (for 26 X, 6 | together, boundless both in plurality and in smallness"-where 27 X, 6 | it is not therefore few. Plurality is as it were the class 28 X, 6 | number belongs; for number is plurality measurable by one, and one 29 X, 6 | measured by the knowable.-Plurality is contrary neither to the 30 X, 6 | contrary to this as excessive plurality to plurality exceeded), 31 X, 6 | as excessive plurality to plurality exceeded), nor to the one 32 X, 6 | knowledge is to knowable, if plurality is number and the one is 33 XI, 3 | differences of being are plurality and unity, or likeness and 34 XI, 10| spatial magnitude nor a plurality, but infinity itself is 35 XI, 10| divisible is either magnitude or plurality. But if indivisible, it 36 XIII, 2| present, the thing is a plurality, and splits up into parts. 37 XIII, 9| and from other matter like plurality, but not identical with 38 XIII, 9| can consist of the one and plurality, they make no attempt to 39 XIII, 9| the universally predicated plurality, and not from a particular 40 XIII, 9| and not from a particular plurality; and the other generates 41 XIII, 9| generates it from a particular plurality, but the first; for 2 is 42 XIII, 9| 2 is said to be a "first plurality". Therefore there is practically 43 XIII, 9| from the one itself and plurality, or a part of plurality. 44 XIII, 9| plurality, or a part of plurality. To say that the unit is 45 XIII, 9| To say that the unit is a plurality is impossible, for it is 46 XIII, 9| generate it from a part of plurality involves many other objections; 47 XIII, 9| indivisible (or it will be a plurality and the unit will be divisible) 48 XIII, 9| will not be the one and plurality; for the single units do 49 XIII, 9| single units do not come from plurality and the one. Again, (,the 50 XIII, 9| another number; for his plurality of indivisibles is a number. 51 XIII, 9| at first, as it seems, a plurality that was itself finite, 52 XIII, 9| units. And there is another plurality that is plurality-itself 53 XIII, 9| plurality-itself and infinite plurality; which sort of plurality, 54 XIII, 9| plurality; which sort of plurality, then, is the element which 55 XIII, 9| are indivisible parts of plurality; for number consists of 56 XIV, 1 | the One, and others making plurality matter for the One. (The 57 XIV, 1 | to generates them out of plurality, while according to both 58 XIV, 1 | the One, and others oppose plurality to the One. But if, as they 59 XIV, 1 | is to be anything it is plurality, and the unequal is contrary 60 XIV, 1 | those who oppose the One to plurality have most claim to plausibility, 61 XIV, 1 | their view be a few; for plurality is opposed to fewness, and 62 XIV, 1 | means the measure of some plurality, and "number" means a measured 63 XIV, 1 | number" means a measured plurality and a plurality of measures. ( 64 XIV, 1 | measured plurality and a plurality of measures. (Thus it is 65 XIV, 1 | the plane. If there is a plurality, then, of which the one 66 XIV, 2 | have seen the cause of the plurality in substances also; for 67 XIV, 2 | reason, then, why there is a plurality of these?~It is necessary, 68 XIV, 2 | involved in the existence of plurality. Since they are not separable 69 XIV, 4 | contrary element, whether it is plurality or the unequal, i.e. the 70 XIV, 4 | the fundamental nature of plurality; while others say inequality 71 XIV, 5 | think of the unity and the plurality apart; number then will 72 XIV, 5 | will be this-a unit and plurality, or the one and the unequal.~ 73 XIV, 5 | places the 1 as contrary to plurality, and another places it as
