  1   I, 1 |            OUR next task is to study coming-to-be and passing-away. We are

  3   I, 1 |           the so-called "unqualified coming-to-be" is "alteration", while
  4   I, 1 |       maintain that "alteration" and coming-to-be are distinct. For those
  5   I, 1 |             are bound to assert that coming-to-be is "alteration", and that
  6   I, 1 |            than one must distinguish coming-to-be from "alteration". To this
  7   I, 1 |            says, at all events, that coming-to-be and passing-away are the

  9   I, 1 |      distinct from coming-to-be: for coming-to-be and passingaway result from
 10   I, 1 |            when he says "There is no coming-to-be of anything, but only a

 15   I, 2 |              from them. They explain coming-to-be and passing-away by their "
 16   I, 2 |          predecessors think (i) that coming-to-be is distinct from "alteration",
 17   I, 2 |       dilemmas. If, on the one hand, coming-to-be is "association", many impossible
 18   I, 2 |              conclusion upon us that coming-to-be cannot possibly be anything
 19   I, 2 |               If, on the other hand, coming-to-be is not "association", either
 20   I, 2 |            there is no such thing as coming-to-be at all or it is "alteration":
 21   I, 2 |           construct "alteration" and coming-to-be with them, if one "transposes"
 22   I, 2 |            consequence-especially if coming-to-be and passing-away are to
 23   I, 2 |        suppose, as some assert, that coming-to-be and passing-away in the
 24   I, 2 |          error lies. For unqualified coming-to-be and passing-away are not
 25   I, 2 |  constitutive factors, there will be coming-to-be or passing-away: but when
 26   I, 2 |             as established-viz. that coming-to-be cannot be "association",

 28   I, 3 |          some things". For qualified coming-to-be is a process out of qualified

 30   I, 3 |          shall have, in "unqualified coming-to-be", a coming-to-be of a substance
 31   I, 3 |         unqualified coming-to-be", a coming-to-be of a substance out of not-substance.
 32   I, 3 |          always out of what is". For coming-to-be necessarily implies the
 33   I, 3 |            there can be "unqualified coming-to-be" (whether we suppose it
 34   I, 3 |          substance, out of which its coming-to-be will proceed and into which

 36   I, 3 |           cause of the perpetuity of coming-to-be? Why is there always unqualified,
 37   I, 3 |     unqualified, as well as partial, coming-to-be? Cause" in this connexion
 38   I, 3 |            due that passing-away and coming-to-be never fail to occur in Nature.
 39   I, 3 |          unqualified passingaway and coming-to-be.~Our new question too-viz. "
 40   I, 3 |           the unbroken continuity of coming-to-be?"-is sufficiently perplexing,
 41   I, 3 |              unfailing continuity of coming-to-be cannot be attributed to
 42   I, 3 |            there is only one kind of coming-to-be in the world-viz. one which
 43   I, 3 |            passing-away of this is a coming-to-be of something else, and the
 44   I, 3 |              something else, and the coming-to-be of this a passing-away of
 45   I, 3 |              adequate to account for coming-to-be and passing-away in their
 46   I, 3 |           passing-away of this but a coming-to-be of that, why are some things
 47   I, 3 |             and we call this change "coming-to-be", and that "passing-away",
 48   I, 3 |            the passage into Fire is "coming-to-be" unqualified, but "passingaway-of-something" (
 49   I, 3 |              e.g. Earth): whilst the coming-to-be of Earth is qualified (not
 50   I, 3 |         qualified (not unqualified) "coming-to-be", though unqualified "passing-away" (
 51   I, 3 |         qualification is unqualified coming-to-be. Hence whatever the contrasted "
 52   I, 3 |         distinguished from qualified coming-to-be and passing-away: but they
 53   I, 3 |       material, people say there is "coming-to-be"; but when there is a change
 54   I, 3 |           not true.~Thus unqualified coming-to-be and passingaway turn out
 55   I, 3 |            why there is "unqualified coming-to-be" (though it is a passingaway-of-something)
 56   I, 3 |         another, we do not attribute coming-to-be and passing-away uniformly
 57   I, 3 |            them both, although every coming-to-be is a passing-away of something
 58   I, 3 |      passing-away some other thing's coming-to-be. But the question subsequently
 59   I, 3 |           things alike, we speak of "coming-to-be" when the thing comes-to-be
 60   I, 3 |          because, in substances, the coming-to-be of one thing is always a
 61   I, 3 |            thing is always another's coming-to-be. But there is no need even
 62   I, 3 |          question we raised-viz. why coming-to-be continues though things
 63   I, 3 |             so also they speak of "a coming-to-be out of a not-being" when
 64   I, 3 |            is reasonable enough that coming-to-be should never fail. For coming-to-be
 65   I, 3 |  coming-to-be should never fail. For coming-to-be is a passing-away of "what
 66   I, 4 |            the difference is between coming-to-be and "alteration"-for we
 67   I, 4 |         longer "alteration". It is a coming-to-be of one substance and a passing-away
 68   I, 4 |            changes would have been a coming-to-be of unmusicalness and a passing-away
 69   I, 4 |             are a passing-away and a coming-to-be.) Consequently such changes
 70   I, 4 |           sense of the term), it is "coming-to-be", and the converse change
 71   I, 4 |     substratum which is receptive of coming-to-be and passingaway: but the
 72   I, 4 |            the questions (i) whether coming-to-be "is" or "is not"-i.e. what
 73   I, 5 |          wherein growth differs from coming-to-be and from "alteration", and
 74   I, 5 |              to actual substance) is coming-to-be, a change in the sphere
 75   I, 5 |            is "altering" nor what is coming-to-be necessarily changes its
 76   I, 5 |             changes of that which is coming-to-be, of that which is "altering",
 77   I, 5 |            we do not in fact see air coming-to-be out of water in this fashion,
 78   I, 5 |             that in all instances of coming-to-be the matter is inseparable,
 79   I, 5 |           the efficient cause of its coming-to-be is either (i) an actual
 80   I, 5 |           the efficient cause of the coming-to-be of a hard thing is not a
 81   I, 5 |           the efficient cause of the coming-to-be of fire or one man of the
 82   I, 5 |            growth, but characterizes coming-to-be as such or in general. For
 83   I, 5 |           for this would be a body's coming-to-be rather than its growth.~
 84   I, 5 |             things (to that which is coming-to-be and to that which passed-away),
 85   I, 5 |             processes of unqualified coming-to-be or passing-away, that which
 86   I, 5 |           for that would have been a coming-to-be, not a growth): on the contrary,
 87   I, 5 |            it, the change would be a coming-to-be. For it is possible to produce
 88   I, 5 |            are set on fire, that is "coming-to-be".~"Quantum-in-general" does
 89   I, 5 |             animal-in-general" is in coming-to-be, that "quantum-in-general"
 90   I, 7 |           sphere of passing-away and coming-to-be.~We can now understand why
 91   I, 7 |         contrary to one another, and coming-to-be is a process into the contrary:
 92   I, 7 |           the moved thing and to the coming-to-be. A similar distinction holds
 93   I, 8 |             would not abolish either coming-to-be and passing-away or motion
 94   I, 8 |            the "elements" have their coming-to-be and their passingaway: but
 95   I, 10|    distinction of "combination" from coming-to-be and passingaway (for it
 96   I, 10|             say is that "the fire is coming-to-be, but the wood is "passing-away".
 97  II, 1 |              discussed "unqualified" coming-to-be and passing-away, and explained
 98  II, 1 |              and how it differs from coming-to-be and passing-away. But we
 99  II, 1 |            as the condition of their coming-to-be and passing-away: but philosophers
100  II, 1 |              their "alteration", the coming-to-be and passing-away of things. (
101  II, 1 |             another kind) results in coming-to-be and passingaway, are rightly
102  II, 4 |         established before" that the coming-to-be of the "simple" bodies is
103  II, 4 |         change into one another: for coming-to-be is a change into contraries
104  II, 4 |         evident, therefore, that the coming-to-be of the "simple" bodies will
105  II, 4 |        change.~This second method of coming-to-be, then, takes a longer time.
106  II, 4 |        Moreover, this mode of Fire's coming-to-be is confirmed by perception.
107  II, 4 |            transformed into one, the coming-to-be is effected by the passing-away
108  II, 5 |               alteration" instead of coming-to-be. Besides, nobody supposes
109  II, 6 |           for him to account for the coming-to-be which occurs in nature.
110  II, 6 |        process all exhibit, in their coming-to-be, a uniformity either absolute
111  II, 6 |             cause, therefore, of the coming-to-be of the things which owe
112  II, 7 |          hand, who do not make their coming-to-be reciprocal-who refuse to
113  II, 7 |           how is the manner of their coming-to-be to be conceived by those
114  II, 7 | indifferently: that is the manner of coming-to-be when "both Fire and Water
115  II, 8 |        compounds presuppose in their coming-to-be constituents which are contrary
116  II, 9 |             and pass-away, and since coming-to-be in fact occurs in the region
117  II, 9 |          originative sources" of all coming-to-be alike: for a grasp of the
118  II, 9 |           both be and not he.) Hence coming-to-be~and passing-away must occur
119  II, 9 |              adequate to account for coming-to-be. Thus Socrates in the Phaedo
120  II, 9 |         Forms must be causes both of coming-to-be and of passing-away". On
121  II, 9 |             by itself to account for coming-to-be, since "the movement originates
122  II, 10|      continuity of the occurrence of coming-to-be follows necessarily from
123  II, 10|             and retire, will produce coming-to-be uninterruptedly. At the
124  II, 10|                we called motion (not coming-to-be) "the primary form of change".
125  II, 10|             what is should cause the coming-to-be of what is not, than that
126  II, 10|          moved is, but that which is coming-to-be is not: hence, also, motion
127  II, 10|             also, motion is prior to coming-to-be.~We have assumed, and have
128  II, 10|       assumed, and have proved, that coming-to-be and passing-away happen
129  II, 10|            assert that motion causes coming-to-be. That being so, it is evident
130  II, 10|              a single motion, either coming-to-be or passing-away will always
131  II, 10|           primary motion that causes coming-to-be and passingaway, but the
132  II, 10|            movements as well. For if coming-to-be and passing-away are always
133  II, 10|        processes of passing-away and coming-to-be occupy equal periods of
134  II, 10|           theories. Thus we see that coming-to-be occurs as the sun approaches
135  II, 10|        processes of passing-away and coming-to-be are equal. Nevertheless
136  II, 10|              because the "irregular" coming-to-be of these things is the passing-away
137  II, 10|        passing-away of other things.~Coming-to-be and passing-away will, as
138  II, 10|            of the universe by making coming-to-be uninterrupted: for the greatest
139  II, 10|             existence, because that "coming-to-be should itself come-to-be
140  II, 10|          cause of this perpetuity of coming-to-be, as we have often said,
141  II, 10|          back into Water, we say the coming-to-be "has completed the circle",
142  II, 10|          what has been said (i) that coming-to-be and passing-away actually
143  II, 11|           continuity in any process (coming-to-be or "alteration" or any kind
144  II, 11|          consecutiveness", i.e. this coming-to-be after that without any interval.
145  II, 11|           them no less when they are coming-to-be: in other words, their coming-to-be
146  II, 11|  coming-to-be: in other words, their coming-to-be will not be necessary.~Then
147  II, 11|         distinction in the field of "coming-to-be" corresponding to the distinction,
148  II, 11|          necessary for a house to be coming-to-be) we should be faced with
149  II, 11|           must always be. No: if its coming-to-be is to be "necessary", it
150  II, 11|              must be "always" in its coming-to-be. For what is "of necessity"
151  II, 11|              And if, therefore, the "coming-to-be" of a thing is necessary,
152  II, 11|             thing is necessary, its "coming-to-be" is eternal; and if eternal,
153  II, 11|       necessary.~It follows that the coming-to-be of anything, if it is absolutely
154  II, 11|        alternatives is impossible if coming-to-be is to be eternal, because
155  II, 11|       upwards" (as past events). Yet coming-to-be must have an "originative
156  II, 11|           therefore, and in cyclical coming-to-be that the "absolutely necessary"
157  II, 11|               In other words, if the coming-to-be of any things is cyclical,
158  II, 11|      necessary" that each of them is coming-to-be and has come-to-be: and
159  II, 11|           has come-to-be: and if the coming-to-be of any things is "necessary",
160  II, 11|         things is "necessary", their coming-to-be is cyclical.~The result
161  II, 11|             turn do the things whose coming-to-be the seasons initiate.~Then
162  II, 11|         second time (for though your coming-to-be presupposes your father'
163  II, 11|       presupposes your father's, his coming-to-be does not presuppose yours)?
164  II, 11|              the contrary, does this coming-to-be seem to constitute a rectilinear
