Therefore a science which 1369 X, 6 | whether few be treated here as singular or plural; for the many 1370 XII, 8 | next four planets will be sixteen; therefore the number of 1371 III, 2 | the other sciences, like slavewomen, may not even contradict 1372 IV, 5 | true which appear to the slee ing or to the waking.

Hence it also 1417 II, 2 | fire, and so on without stopping), nor can the sources of 1418 V, 11 | things are called prior, e.g. straightness is prior to smoothness; 1419 VII, 3 | which is not predicated of a stratum, but of which all else is 1420 IV, 2 | that-in fact this would even strengthen our case); for "one man" 1421 IX, 8 | actuality is prior in a stricter sense also; for eternal 1422 X, 1 | measure of a kind", and most strictly of quantity; for it is from 1423 VII, 3 | else is. When all else is stripped off evidently nothing but 1424 XI, 3 | beginning his investigation he strips off all the sensible qualities, 1425 VI, 1 | also that it belongs to the student of nature to study even 1426 XII, 1 | is sensible (of which one subdivision is eternal and another is 1427 XI, 1 | science can embrace several subject-matters.~Further, does it deal with 1428 XIII, 3 | deal with such and such a subject-not with what is accidental 1429 XII, 8 | give some notion of the subject-quote what some of the mathematicians 1430 V, 10 | of the same genus are not subordinate the one to the other, or 1431 III, 1 | difficulties well; for the subsequent free play of thought implies 1432 VI, 1 | of being moved, and about substance-as-defined for the most part only as 1433 VII, 11 | reference to its primary substance-e.g. in the case of man the 1434 XII, 1 | There are three kinds of substance-one that is sensible (of which 1435 XII, 10 | what are the views of the subtler thinkers, and which views 1436 III, 4 | be eternal?-But into the subtleties of the mythologists it is 1437 XI, 8 | occurs; and in this way if we subtract time from the limited time 1438 XII, 1 | substance is first, and is succeeded by quality, and then by 1439 VII, 6 | which one could answer it successfully. We have explained, then, 1440 XIII, 7 | and so with the others successively. (And to say both things 1441 XIII, 9 | regard to the Ideas.

Even if those who support this view do not express 1447 X, 5 | both (and the difficulty supports those who say the unequal 1448 XII, 7 | and Speusippus do, that supreme beauty and goodness are 1449 XIII, 2 | separated from other things surpass them in the power of independent 1450 IV, 5 | Again, it is fair to express surprise at our opponents’ raising 1451 XIII, 7 | than that of the 2, this is surprising; and if it is greater, clearly 1452 IV, 5 | world which immediately surrounds us is always in process 1453 III, 1 | forward. Hence one should have surveyed all the difficulties beforehand, 1454 XII, 3 | examine whether any form also survives afterwards. For in some 1455 V, 10 | they are productive of or susceptible to such, or are producing 1456 XIV, 6 | choir of heaven. It may be suspected that no one could find difficulty 1457 III, 4 | for all things. But they swallow the difficulty we stated 1458 VII, 17 | not like a heap but like a syllable-now the syllable is not its 1459 XIII, 4 | essence, for he was seeking to syllogize, and "what a thing is" is 1460 XIV, 6 | thousand such letters; for one symbol might be assigned to GP. 1461 XIII, 3 | of beauty are order and symmetry and definiteness, which 1462 IV, 2 | in the sense that it is a symptom of health, another because 1463 XIV, 6 | and can in no way make a system of them, seems to indicate 1464 X, 1 | the case of a furlong or a talent or of anything comparatively 1465 XIII, 3 | geometers speak correctly; they talk about existing things, and 1466 XIV, 3 | attributes of numbers belonging te sensible bodies, supposed 1467 VI, 2 | else is one to learn or to teach another? The thing must 1468 IX, 8 | is a movement. And so, as teachers think they have achieved 1469 VII, 17 | simple terms no inquiry nor teaching is possible; our attitude 1470 XIV, 6 | seven animals lose their teeth (at least some do, though 1471 XIII, 7 | the 10-itself their are ten units, and the 10 is composed 1472 XI, 11 | the place, which are the terminals of the movement of moving 1473 XII, 6 | That actuality is prior is testified by Anaxagoras (for his " 1474 XII, 1 | philosophers also in practice testify to the primacy of substance; 1475 V, 24 | and the festival of the Thargelia comes "from" the Dionysia, 1476 IV, 2 | suppose them to be like that-in fact this would even strengthen 1477 XIII, 8 | sort of 1 must differ from the-other units; and if this is so, 1478 XIV, 6 | champions who fought against Thebes were seven. Is it then because 1479 VII, 2 | other things come after them-lines and planes-until we come 1480 VII, 6 | substances nor entities prior to them-substances such as some assert the 1481 X, 1 | come to know something by them-while as a matter of fact they 1482 IV, 6 | be allowed to contradict themselves-a claim which contradicts 1483 VII, 9 | another way they can move themselves-and so it is with fire. Therefore 1484 XI, 10 | magnitude also exist by themselvess-since infinity is an attribute 1485 | thence 1486 XIV, 3 | nothing. But not even is any theorem true of them, unless we 1487 XIV, 3 | examination of their physical theorics, but to let them off from 1488 V, 21 | 2) The actualization of these-the already accomplished alterations.-( 1489 V, 6 | bent; e.g. the shin or the thigh is more one than the leg, 1490 X, 2 | definite-some particular kind of thing-and similarly in the sphere 1491 XIII, 9 | number, do we apprehend a thing-itself or something else?).~Some, 1492 VI, 4 | falsity and truth are not in things-it is not as if the good were 1493 V, 4 | the genesis of growing things-the meaning which would be suggested 1494 XIII, 8 | numbers which are the several things-themselves goes up to 10.
