  1   I,  1 |       exists on account of such a cause, and I mean by this the
  2   I,  1 |          I mean by this the final cause.~There are four causes underlying
  3   I,  1 |      everything: first, the final cause, that for the sake of which
  4   I,  1 |      exists; secondly, the formal cause, the definition of its essence (
  5   I,  1 |     moving principle or efficient cause.~We have then already discussed
  6   I,  1 |          definition and the final cause are the same, and the material
  7   I,  1 |           the moving or efficient cause. To inquire into this last
  8   I,  2 |          containing the efficient cause of generation, the latter
  9   I,  4 |        must first grasp the final cause of the testes. Now if Nature
 10   I,  15|          generation or some other cause has not yet been observed.~
 11   I,  17|      semen from the whole body is cause of the resemblance of the
 12   I,  17|     therefore if semen or seed is cause of the whole so each of
 13   I,  18|         be this that would be the cause of the resemblance, not
 14   I,  18|         the parts will not be the cause of the resemblance, as is
 15   I,  18|  offspring, which looks as if the cause does not lie in the semen
 16   I,  18|         emit semen, then also the cause of the generation is not
 17   I,  18|           like their parents; the cause of this must be inquired
 18   I,  18|            but that the female is cause of the generation in some
 19   I,  18|          that it is the efficient cause. In this last class sometimes
 20   I,  18|           sometimes the efficient cause is in the things themselves,
 21   I,  18|         it is the first efficient cause. For assuredly it is not
 22   I,  18|      which also has been known to cause disease.~[Further the same
 23   I,  19|          of the semen that is the cause of generation, or whether
 24   I,  19|        some faculty and efficient cause thereof, for the hand also
 25   I,  19|       suppose, too, that the same cause accounts for the fact that
 26   I,  20|           different kinds of food cause a great difference in the
 27   I,  20|         pungently-flavoured foods cause them to be conspicuously
 28   I,  20|     purify it. Thus the catamenia cause generation mixture with
 29   I,  20|        the form and the efficient cause, while the female contributes
 30   I,  21|        semen from the male is the cause of the offspring. Does it
 31  II,  1 |           and the first efficient cause, (2) from what sort of material
 32  II,  1 |           on account of the final cause, takes us back to a principle
 33  II,  1 |     virtue of its own nature, the cause of the better in such things
 34  II,  1 |         first efficient or moving cause, to which belong the definition
 35  II,  1 |        the movement, or efficient cause, whereby that which comes
 36  II,  1 |         and size.~So much for the cause of the existence of the
 37  II,  1 |         the locomotive organs the cause of this difference, but
 38  II,  1 |          not any part that is the cause of the soul’s coming into
 39  II,  1 |        but it is the first moving cause from outside. (For nothing
 40  II,  1 |    question what is the efficient cause of generation in each case,
 41  II,  2 |         makes it float, being the cause of its lightness. So too
 42  II,  4 |           compulsion of any other cause, as some assert, saying
 43  II,  4 |          bear fruit. No, the real cause, as has been stated already,
 44  II,  4 |  necessary result and for a final cause, the former because the
 45  II,  4 |         if one should accept this cause. The real cause why each
 46  II,  4 |       accept this cause. The real cause why each of them comes into
 47  II,  5 |          space of time. About the cause of these things, however,
 48  II,  6 |          between the end or final cause and that which exists for
 49  II,  6 |       former. For the parts which cause the movement, being prior
 50  II,  6 |           development, come in to cause confusion, and it is not
 51  II,  6 |           they assign a necessary cause who say simply that "it
 52  II,  6 |          of the infinite; now the cause is a beginning, and the
 53  II,  6 |           consequence, to ask the cause of anything of this kind
 54  II,  6 |      which forbids us to seek the cause, there will be no proof
 55  II,  6 |          side, and nevertheless a cause and a proof can be given
 56  II,  6 |           the year that it is the cause.~Cooling, again, is mere
 57  II,  6 |            in another for a final cause, that they make the flesh
 58  II,  6 |         necessity but for a final cause.~The upper half of the body,
 59  II,  6 |       still soft in children. The cause of this being so with men
 60  II,  6 |       being, and why and for what cause they are the last to be
 61  II,  6 |          their growth, as a final cause, is their function, for
 62  II,  6 |         for their work. The final cause of their growth has been
 63  II,  6 |         is formed and what is the cause of their generation.~
 64  II,  8 |         it might be said that the cause of the mule’s being unable
 65  II,  8 |    country also is cold. For this cause they do not put the jackasses
 66 III,  1 |         mother’s body by the same cause as are those eggs which
 67 III,  1 |          similar condition is the cause of the later sterility of
 68 III,  1 |    seminal fluid of the male; the cause of this has been previously
 69 III,  1 |        fish are one-coloured. The cause of the double colour may

 71 III,  2 |           rising (for this is the cause of their being spoilt),
 72 III,  4 |         of necessity through this cause (for they have in them superfluous
 73 III,  4 |           for the sake of a final cause, for it is impossible for
 74 III,  5 |          in all the vivipara. The cause of the ignorance of those
 75  IV,  1 |       becomes male or female, the cause of the heat or cold being
 76  IV,  1 |         if heat and cold were the cause of the difference of the
 77  IV,  1 |         principle, to collect the cause of the origin of these parts,
 78  IV,  1 |           error in assigning this cause of his; but if he had seen
 79  IV,  1 |           of the uterus to be the cause, since on his theory both
 80  IV,  1 |         discuss thoroughly such a cause as this which is stated
 81  IV,  1 |           nothing but heat as the cause without any reflection,
 82  IV,  1 |    certain quality that it is the cause of the development. The
 83  IV,  1 |           first principle and the cause of the development of an
 84  IV,  1 |       this way is to seek for the cause from too remote a starting-point;
 85  IV,  1 |           I mean the first moving cause, whether it have power to
 86  IV,  1 |      essence is a principle and a cause, and (2) the male is such
 87  IV,  1 |        other animals, and (4) the cause of this capacity is in the
 88  IV,  1 |           the first principle and cause of male and female, and
 89  IV,  2 |      sometimes turn the scale and cause cold or heat, and these
 90  IV,  2 |     female elements. And for this cause it often happens to many
 91  IV,  2 |         solids. Hence hard waters cause infertility, and cold waters
 92  IV,  3 |         or age or some other such cause, it is necessary that animals
 93  IV,  3 |    necessary in regard of a final cause and an end, yet is necessary
 94  IV,  3 |           the moving or efficient cause (except in the case of the
 95  IV,  3 |          in the case of the first cause of all) does itself receive
 96  IV,  3 |           have thus discussed the cause of all these phenomena, (
 97  IV,  3 |     reason assigned cannot be the cause of likeness and unlikeness.
 98  IV,  3 |         those who assign the same cause of sex as Empedocles or
 99  IV,  3 |           assign only one sort of cause, it is not easy to explain
100  IV,  3 |         heads.~The account of the cause of monstrosities is very
101  IV,  3 |           in a way to that of the cause of animals being born defective
102  IV,  4 |       then, we must attribute the cause to the semen of the male,
103  IV,  4 |        all means suppose that the cause lies in the material contributed
104  IV,  4 |       plain that we must hold the cause of such phenomena to lie
105  IV,  4 |          to suppose that a single cause is responsible for the production
106  IV,  4 |        another but still a single cause for the production of many
107  IV,  4 |     smallness of the body that is cause of few or many young being
108  IV,  4 |           then an animal, for the cause assigned, discharges more
109  IV,  4 |     suffice for these points.~The cause why the parts may be multiplied
110  IV,  4 |         Nature is the same as the cause of the birth of twins. For
111  IV,  4 |           we must assume the same cause as when the embryo is altogether
112  IV,  6 |          have said, contribute to cause the difference between women
113  IV,  7 |           by iron. Concerning the cause of this phenomenon we have
114  IV,  8 |          being due to a necessary cause. For at first such residual
115  IV,  8 |           changed when its moving cause changes). At the same time
116  IV,  8 |  thoroughly concocted. As for the cause of concoction, we may take
117  IV,  10|         time. Yet this is not the cause of it, but the periods only
118  IV,  10|         and many others. The real cause of long life in any animal
119  IV,  10|         will speak later; but the cause of the time of gestation
120  IV,  10|    according to Nature, and often cause things to fall out contrary
121   V,  1 |           longer suppose that the cause of these and all such phenomena
122   V,  1 |           developed for any final cause. The eye for instance exists
123   V,  1 |       instance exists for a final cause, but it is not blue for
124   V,  1 |           is not blue for a final cause unless this condition be
125   V,  1 |     motive principle or efficient cause, on the view that these
126   V,  1 |           then exists for a final cause, and all those things which
127   V,  1 |           being both through this cause and the rest. But when we
128   V,  1 |        elsewhere that such is the cause of sleep). But nevertheless
129   V,  1 |           this to be a sufficient cause, that the part concerned
130   V,  1 |     render another account of the cause of the colours, but if indeed
131   V,  1 |        assume the water to be the cause of the colours mentioned.
132   V,  1 |          We must suppose the same cause also to be responsible for
133   V,  1 |    colours, nor too much so as to cause difficulty of movement.~
134   V,  1 |      result is heteroglaucia.~The cause of some animals being keen-sighted
135   V,  1 | projecting over the eyes. For the cause of seeing keenly in the
136   V,  1 |           movements are plain and cause sensation. But it is the
137   V,  1 |           of the eyes that is the cause of seeing things far off
138   V,  2 |       here the sense-organ is the cause of judging well the distinctions,
139   V,  2 |       just as the movements which cause sight do with those who
140   V,  3 |        hair occurs. The principal cause then of thickness and thinness
141   V,  3 |        moisture is also a helping cause, for in some animals this
142   V,  3 |       besides is very porous.~The cause of the hairs being long
143   V,  3 |    possible then that this is the cause, but it is also possible
144   V,  3 |           are fine-haired for the cause previously stated, for the
145   V,  3 |       exposure to the cold is the cause of hardness in the hair,
146   V,  3 |      nature of the climate is the cause. A proof of this is also
147   V,  3 |           heat and cold, for both cause the moisture to evaporate,
148   V,  3 |         leaf" and "moulting". The cause of the condition is deficiency
149   V,  3 |          must elsewhere state the cause of this phenomena in plants,
150   V,  3 |         of it first, for a little cause turns the scale where the
151   V,  3 |         them return, although the cause of the change of condition
152   V,  4 |           of the skin that is the cause of this in other animals
153   V,  4 |          but in man it is not the cause, except of the hair going
154   V,  4 |      exempt from both states. The cause of greyness in man has now
155   V,  5 |         not by any affection. The cause of the colours in other
156   V,  5 |         the skin is in no way the cause, for even white-skinned
157   V,  6 |         due to nature in that the cause is different; the latter
158   V,  6 |          the concoction. The same cause holds for those animals
159   V,  6 |   uniformly coloured, this is the cause of the skin on the tongue
160   V,  6 |    variety in the movements which cause the development and so in
161   V,  7 |        suppose then that the same cause is responsible for high
162   V,  7 |        which is moved that is the cause of the slowness or quickness.
163   V,  7 |        quantity of the air is the cause of some animals having a
164   V,  7 |  principle, that it is itself the cause of many things without anything
165   V,  7 |           the note is deeper.~The cause of roughness and smoothness
166   V,  8 |          well, for he assigns the cause too generally without investigating
167   V,  8 |       Nature, and suckling is the cause he assigns for their being
168   V,  8 |     however, neglecting the final cause, reduces to necessity all
169   V,  8 |          yet they are for a final cause and for the sake of what
170   V,  8 |      account of the end (or final cause); these are causes only
171   V,  8 |        that necessity is the only cause is much as if we should
172   V,  8 |            and generally for what cause they are formed. And we
173   V,  8 |           the motive or efficient cause.~—THE END.~ ~ ~ ~
