 1   I, 1 |         come-to-be and pass-away by nature. Further, we are to study
 2   I, 1 |            are the same in name and nature; while Democritus and Leucippus

 5   I, 2 |           drawn from the science of nature. Our meaning will become

 7   I, 3 | coming-to-be never fail to occur in Nature. For perhaps, if we succeed
 8   I, 3 |            according to the special nature of the material of the changing

10   I, 4 |          and (b) the property whose nature it is to be predicated of
11   I, 5 |             in matter-has a twofold nature: for the form as well as
12   I, 6 |            that those things are by nature such as to touch one another,
13   I, 6 |             occurs in the things of Nature.~
14   I, 7 |           i.e. "differents", are by nature such as to act and suffer
15   I, 7 |        species. (For it is a law of nature that body is affected by

18   I, 9 |            such-and-such, it is the nature of the first, precisely
19   I, 9 |           other bodies which are by nature such as to act and suffer

21   I, 10|         them changes out of its own nature towards the dominant: yet
22  II, 3 |        bodies are indeed similar in nature to them, but not identical

24  II, 4 |       general, that every one is by nature such as to come-to-be out
25  II, 6 |        coming-to-be which occurs in nature. For the things which come-to-be
26  II, 6 |           question is the essential nature of each thing-not merely
27  II, 6 |        which owe their existence to nature is that they are in such-and-such
28  II, 6 |             which constitutes, the "nature" of each thing-a "nature"

30  II, 6 |    therefore, is no explanation of "nature". Moreover, it is this which

33  II, 6 |           of this kind and the very nature of Strife a movement of
34  II, 6 |             in a manner contrary to nature (fire, e.g. appears to move
35  II, 6 |        would seem to be contrary to nature. And unless Love or Strife
36  II, 6 |             times he says it is the nature of Fire to be borne upwards,

39  II, 9 |         from the necessity of their nature, it is~impossible for the
40  II, 9 |            expressing the essential nature of each of them.~ ~But the
41  II, 9 |            amongst them thought the nature of "the Forms" was adequate
42  II, 9 |      accustomed, in the products of nature and of art alike, to look
43  II, 9 |            those that come to-be by nature. Water does not of itself
