But if unity 21 III, 3 | be one. But if unity and being are not genera, neither 22 III, 4 | things that perish, perish by being resolved into the elements 23 III, 4 | of the truth is whether being and unity are the substances 24 III, 4 | whether each of them, without being anything else, is being 25 III, 4 | being anything else, is being or unity respectively, or 26 III, 4 | or we must inquire what being and unity are, with the 27 III, 4 | the Pythagoreans thought being and unity were nothing else, 28 III, 4 | their nature, their essence being just unity and being. But 29 III, 4 | essence being just unity and being. But the natural philosophers 30 III, 4 | things the cause of their being one. Others say this unity 31 III, 4 | Others say this unity and being, of which things consist 32 III, 4 | must say that unity and being are precisely all the things 33 III, 4 | do not suppose unity and being to be substances, it follows 34 III, 4 | is a unity-itself and a being itself, unity and being 35 III, 4 | being itself, unity and being must be their substance; 36 III, 4 | one, but just unity and being. But if there is to be a 37 III, 4 | For what is different from being does not exist, so that 38 III, 4 | are are one and this is being.~There are objections to 39 III, 4 | as arose with regard to being. For whence is there to 40 III, 4 | less, he asserts to have no being, evidently assuming that 41 III, 4 | assuming that whatever has being is a spatial magnitude. 42 III, 4 | corporeal; for the corporeal has being in every dimension, while 43 III, 5 | it baffles us to say what being is and what the substances 44 III, 5 | thought that substance and being were identical with body, 45 III, 5 | the first principles of being, the more recent and those 46 III, 5 | there is no substance and no being at all; for the accidents 47 III, 5 | it baffles us to say what being is and what the substance 48 III, 5 | the boundaries come into being and cease to be, from what 49 III, 5 | from what do they come into being? A similar account may also 50 III, 5 | in process of coming into being or of ceasing to be, but 51 III, 6 | is not yet is capable of being; for that which is not comes 52 III, 6 | nothing that is incapable of being comes to be.~(12) We must 53 IV, 1 | science which investigates being as being and the attributes 54 IV, 1 | which investigates being as being and the attributes which 55 IV, 1 | others treats universally of being as being. They cut off a 56 IV, 1 | universally of being as being. They cut off a part of 57 IV, 1 | They cut off a part of being and investigate the attribute 58 IV, 1 | elements must be elements of being not by accident but just 59 IV, 1 | accident but just because it is being. Therefore it is of being 60 IV, 1 | being. Therefore it is of being as being that we also must 61 IV, 1 | Therefore it is of being as being that we also must grasp 62 IV, 2 | the medical art, one thing being called medical because it 63 IV, 2 | the things that are, qua being.-But everywhere science 64 IV, 2 | as for instance grammar, being one science, investigates 65 IV, 2 | investigate all the species of being qua being is the work of 66 IV, 2 | the species of being qua being is the work of a science 67 IV, 2 | of the science.~If, now, being and unity are the same and 68 IV, 2 | unity is nothing apart from being; and if, further, the substance 69 IV, 2 | something that is:-all this being so, there must be exactly 70 IV, 2 | exactly as many species of being as of unity. And to investigate 71 IV, 2 | which follows this. For being falls immediately into genera; 72 IV, 2 | of unity qua unity and of being qua being, not qua numbers 73 IV, 2 | qua unity and of being qua being, not qua numbers or lines 74 IV, 2 | certain properties peculiar to being as such, and it is about 75 IV, 2 | in their dialectic, and being is common to all things; 76 IV, 2 | contraries are reducible to being and non-being, and to unity 77 IV, 2 | all thinkers agree that being and substance are composed 78 IV, 2 | to one science to examine being qua being. For all things 79 IV, 2 | science to examine being qua being. For all things are either 80 IV, 2 | the contraries), even if being or unity is not a universal 81 IV, 2 | completeness or unity or being or the same or the other, 82 IV, 2 | of one science to examine being qua being, and the attributes 83 IV, 2 | science to examine being qua being, and the attributes which 84 IV, 2 | attributes which belong to it qua being, and the same science will 85 IV, 3 | because they are true of being qua being and each genus 86 IV, 3 | they are true of being qua being and each genus has being. 87 IV, 3 | being and each genus has being. But men use them just so 88 IV, 3 | good for all things qua being (for this is what is common 89 IV, 3 | them), to him who studies being qua being belongs the inquiry 90 IV, 3 | him who studies being qua being belongs the inquiry into 91 IV, 3 | whole of nature and about being. But since there is one 92 IV, 3 | one particular genus of being), the discussion of these 93 IV, 4 | a man "X" will be what "being a man" means for him. (It 94 IV, 4 | impossible, then, that "being a man" should mean precisely " 95 IV, 4 | should mean precisely "not being a man", if "man" not only 96 IV, 4 | different, obviously "not being a man" will mean nothing 97 IV, 4 | nothing different from "being a man"; so that "being a 98 IV, 4 | being a man"; so that "being a man" will be "not being 99 IV, 4 | being a man" will be "not being a man"; for they will be 100 IV, 4 | for they will be one. For being one means this-being related 101 IV, 4 | definition is one. And if "being a man" and "being a not-man" 102 IV, 4 | And if "being a man" and "being a not-man" are to be one, 103 IV, 4 | animal; for this is what "being necessary" means-that it 104 IV, 4 | good with regard to "not being a man", for "being a man" 105 IV, 4 | not being a man", for "being a man" and "being a not-man" 106 IV, 4 | for "being a man" and "being a not-man" mean different 107 IV, 4 | different things, since even "being white" and "being a man" 108 IV, 4 | even "being white" and "being a man" are different; for 109 IV, 4 | prevent the same thing from being both a man and white and 110 IV, 4 | there is no such thing as "being essentially a man" or "an 111 IV, 4 | to be any such thing as "being essentially a man" this 112 IV, 4 | a man" this will not be "being a not-man" or "not being 113 IV, 4 | being a not-man" or "not being a man" (yet these are negations 114 IV, 4 | nothing else. But if its being essentially a man is to 115 IV, 4 | to be the same as either being essentially a not-man or 116 IV, 4 | not-man or essentially not being a man, then its essence 117 IV, 4 | themselves to be speaking of being, they are speaking about 118 IV, 4 | judges in the other way, being will already be of a definite 119 IV, 5 | and yet one of these is being, and the other non-being. 120 IV, 5 | can at the same time be in being and not in being-but not 121 IV, 5 | something of that which is being lost, and of that which 122 IV, 7 | different.-Again, when a man, on being asked whether a thing is 123 IV, 7 | that it is; and its not being is a negation.~Some people 124 IV, 8 | prevent every statement from being like the statement "the 125 IV, 8 | latter excepts his own as being not false, none the less 126 V, 2 | material, a thing comes into being, e.g. the bronze is the 127 V, 2 | some are called causes as being able to act, others as acting; 128 V, 2 | the cause of the house’s being built is a builder, or a 129 V, 2 | particular thing that is being built; but the potential 130 V, 3 | apply it to that which, being one and small, is useful 131 V, 3 | elements (because each of them being one and simple is present 132 V, 4 | movement of natural objects, being present in them somehow, 133 V, 5 | good, in the other life and being, are not possible without 134 V, 6 | one, even if they admit of being bent, and still more those 135 V, 7 | The kinds of essential being are precisely those that 136 V, 7 | predication; for the senses of "being" are just as many as these 137 V, 7 | where", others its "when", "being" has a meaning answering 138 V, 7 | other cases.~(3) Again, "being" and "is" mean that a statement 139 V, 7 | statement is true, "not being" that it is not true but 140 V, 7 | to say it is.~(4) Again, "being" and "that which is" mean 141 V, 8 | of them.-(2) That which, being present in such things as 142 V, 8 | subject, is the cause of their being, as the soul is of the being 143 V, 8 | being, as the soul is of the being of an animal.-(3) The parts 144 V, 8 | else, and (B) that which, being a "this", is also separable 145 V, 9 | sameness is a unity of the being either of more than one 146 V, 10 | of such. Since "one" and "being" have many senses, the other 147 V, 10 | applied to things which being of the same genus are not 148 V, 10 | one to the other, or which being in the same genus have a 149 V, 10 | different), and those which being in the same substance have 150 V, 11 | are prior in time; some by being farther from the present, 151 V, 11 | the present), others by being nearer the present, i.e. 152 V, 11 | consider the various senses of "being", firstly the subject is 153 V, 12 | the source of a thing’s being moved by another thing or 154 V, 15 | that which is capable of being heated, because it can heat 155 V, 16 | attained their end, this being good, are called complete; 156 V, 23 | according to its own impulse.~"Being in something" has similar 157 V, 26 | in two senses-either as being each severally one single 158 V, 26 | contains many things by being predicated of each, and 159 V, 26 | them, e.g. man, horse, god, being severally one single thing, 160 V, 26 | of unity also, wholeness being in fact a sort of oneness.~ 161 V, 28 | different categories of being (for some of the things 162 VI, 1 | and obviously of them qua being. For, while there is a cause 163 VI, 1 | into this, but not into being simply nor qua being, nor 164 VI, 1 | into being simply nor qua being, nor do they offer any discussion 165 VI, 1 | fact about one class of being, i.e. to that sort of substance 166 VI, 1 | will theorize about such being as admits of being moved, 167 VI, 1 | such being as admits of being moved, and about substance-as-defined 168 VI, 1 | fail to notice the mode of being of the essence and of its 169 VI, 1 | genus, i.e. some one kind of being; for not even the mathematical 170 VI, 1 | belong to this to consider being qua being-both what it is 171 VI, 1 | attributes which belong to it qua being.~ 172 VI, 2 | since the unqualified term "being" has several meanings, of 173 VI, 2 | another the true (’non-being’ being the false), while besides 174 VI, 2 | similar meanings which "being" may have), and again besides 175 VI, 2 | potentially or actually:-since "being" has many meanings, we must 176 VI, 2 | attributes that come into being along with the house; for 177 VI, 2 | another sense come into being and pass out of being by 178 VI, 2 | into being and pass out of being by a process, but things 179 VI, 2 | therefore, which is capable of being otherwise than as it usually 180 VI, 3 | destructible without ever being in course of being generated 181 VI, 3 | ever being in course of being generated or destroyed, 182 VI, 3 | necessity, since that which is being generated or destroyed must 183 VI, 4 | Let us dismiss accidental being; for we have sufficiently 184 VI, 4 | which is in the sense of being true, or is not in the sense 185 VI, 4 | or is not in the sense of being false, depends on combination 186 VI, 4 | exist even in thought—this being so, we must consider later 187 VI, 4 | is a different sort of "being" from the things that are 188 VI, 4 | which is in the sense of being true must be dismissed. 189 VI, 4 | to the remaining genus of being, and do not indicate the 190 VI, 4 | of any separate class of being. Therefore let these be 191 VI, 4 | causes and the principles of being itself, qua being. (It was 192 VI, 4 | principles of being itself, qua being. (It was clear in our discussion 193 VI, 4 | meanings of terms, that "being" has several meanings.)~ 194 VII, 1 | for in one sense the "being" meant is "what a thing 195 VII, 1 | predicated as these are. While "being" has all these senses, obviously 196 VII, 1 | self-subsistent or capable of being separated from substance, 197 VII, 1 | subject of doubt, viz. what being is, is just the question, 198 VII, 3 | the categories by which being is determined.

For being you is not being musical, since you are not 202 VII, 4 | is to a surface, because being a surface is not identical 203 VII, 4 | surface is not identical with being white. But again the combination 204 VII, 4 | the combination of both-’being a white surface’-is not 205 VII, 4 | because the term that is being defined is combined with 206 VII, 4 | to be known),-the truth being that we use the word neither 207 VII, 4 | the things that are one by being bound together, but in one 208 VII, 6 | animal-itself, and the essence of being from being-itself, there 209 VII, 6 | the latter will have no being. (By "severed" I mean, if 210 VII, 6 | has not the property of being good.) For (a) there is 211 VII, 6 | they would exist only by being participated in.)~Each thing 212 VII, 7 | them is capable both of being and of not being, and this 213 VII, 7 | both of being and of not being, and this capacity is the 214 VII, 7 | uniform. What then does being made uniform imply? This 215 VII, 7 | And this depends on his being made warm. What does this 216 VII, 9 | the production of "human being" from "human" for a "woman" 217 VII, 10 | the question is already being asked whether the formula 218 VII, 10 | the substance of a living being) is their substance according 219 VII, 10 | parts as its matter:-this being so, to the concrete thing 220 VII, 10 | is of the universal; for "being a circle" is the same as 221 VII, 10 | same as the circle, and "being a soul" the same as the 222 VII, 10 | intelligible, perceptible matter being for instance bronze and 223 VII, 10 | and intelligible matter being that which is present in 224 VII, 10 | individual itself, and "being a circle" is the circle, 225 VII, 10 | circle" is the circle, and "being a right angle" and the essence 226 VII, 11 | reference to the parts’ being in a certain state.

There being a distinction in each class 409 XI, 9 | exists actually, it is being built, and this is the process 410 XI, 9 | contraries; for to be capable of being well and to be capable of 411 XI, 9 | well and to be capable of being ill are not the same-for 412 XI, 9 | the same-for if they were, being well and being ill would 413 XI, 9 | they were, being well and being ill would have been the 414 XI, 9 | each thing is capable of being sometimes actual, sometimes 415 XI, 9 | the buildable is what is being built.

For things come into being either by art or by nature 432 XII, 4 | the intelligibles, e.g. being or unity, is an element; 433 XII, 5 | and form and moving cause being different from mine, while 434 XII, 6 | should either have come into being or cease to be (for it must 435 XII, 7 | something which moves without being moved, being eternal, substance, 436 XII, 7 | moves without being moved, being eternal, substance, and 437 XII, 7 | this way; they move without being moved. The primary objects 438 XII, 7 | final cause is (a) some being for whose good an action 439 XII, 7 | then, produces motion as being loved, but all other things 440 XII, 7 | all other things move by being moved.

(By "being shared in incidentally" 458 XIII, 5 | to those that come into being and cease to be; for they 459 XIII, 5 | them), or towards their being, if they are not in the 460 XIII, 5 | can both be and come into being without being copied from 461 XIII, 5 | come into being without being copied from something else, 462 XIII, 5 | therefore, could the Ideas, being the substances of things, 463 XIII, 5 | Forms are causes both of being and of becoming. Yet though 464 XIII, 5 | things do not come into being, unless there is something 465 XIII, 5 | many other things come into being (e.g. a house or a ring) 466 XIII, 5 | can both be and come into being owing to such causes as 467 XIII, 6 | in it and a second, each being different in species,-and 468 XIII, 6 | which has a before and after being identical with the Ideas, 469 XIII, 6 | and mathematical number being different from the Ideas 470 XIII, 6 | sensible things, and both being separable from sensible 471 XIII, 7 | from unequals (coming into being when these were equalized) 472 XIII, 7 | two, and similarly. This being so, numbers cannot be generated 473 XIII, 7 | received.~Again, as to the 2 being an entity apart from its 474 XIII, 7 | with the units.

From what, then? 476 XIII, 8 | is part of the greater (being number of such a sort that 477 XIII, 8 | and again posterior, 2 being treated as a whole, a unity, 478 XIII, 10| one actual.
