They said that things grow "by the accession of 15 I, 2 | and (ii) that, whereas things "alter" by change of their 16 I, 2 | difficulties, is this: "Do things come-to-be and "alter" and 17 I, 2 | for, according to him, things get coloured by "turning" 18 I, 3 | is an attribute of some things". For qualified coming-to-be 19 I, 3 | be offered: In one sense things come-to-be out of that which 20 I, 3 | If, then, some one of the things "which are" constantly disappearing, 21 I, 3 | they occur in all existing things alike. Yet, if the same 22 I, 3 | coming-to-be of that, why are some things said to come-to-be and pass-away 23 I, 3 | Parmenides: for he says that the things into which change takes 24 I, 3 | postulate these, or other things of a similar kind, makes 25 I, 3 | perceive, so too they deem the things to "be" qua perceived or 26 I, 3 | perception which explains why things are commonly said to "pass-away" 27 I, 3 | perceptible.~(ii) But why are some things said to "come to-be" without 28 I, 3 | been considering where two things come-to-be reciprocally 29 I, 3 | than this:-why, when two things change reciprocally into 30 I, 3 | the Categories. For some things signify a this somewhat, 31 I, 3 | others a so-much. Those things, then, which do not signify 32 I, 3 | Nevertheless, in all changing things alike, we speak of "coming-to-be" 33 I, 3 | have explained why some things come to-be without qualification, 34 I, 3 | and also when the changing things are substances and nothing 35 I, 3 | coming-to-be continues though things are constantly being destroyed. 36 I, 5 | diminishing in each and all of the things that grow and diminish.~ 37 I, 5 | something common to both things (to that which is coming-to-be 38 I, 5 | these organic parts). Such things come-to-be, then, by the 39 I, 6 | compounds: those who derive things from a single element are 40 I, 6 | argues that "unless all things were derived from one, reciprocal 41 I, 6 | and passion between two things, that which underlies them 42 I, 6 | not true to say that all things are of this character: but 43 I, 6 | character: but it is true of all things between which there is reciprocal 44 I, 6 | can only occur between things which are such as to touch 45 I, 6 | touch one another; nor can things enter into combination at 46 I, 6 | definite account of these three things—of "contact", "combination", 47 I, 6 | us start as follows. All things which admit of "combination" 48 I, 6 | same is true of any two things, of which one "acts" and 49 I, 6 | derivation in the different things to which it is applied: 50 I, 6 | proper sense applies only to things which have "position". And " 51 I, 6 | position" belongs only to those things which also have a Place": 52 I, 6 | contact" to the mathematical things, we must also attribute " 53 I, 6 | extremes together", only those things will touch one another which, 54 I, 6 | position belongs only to those things which also have a "place", 55 I, 6 | pairs of opposites), all things which touch one another 56 I, 6 | Hence it is clear that those things are by nature such as to 57 I, 6 | be applied only to those things whose motion is a "qualitative 58 I, 6 | any rate, is clear: the things which are "such as to impart 59 I, 6 | one sense, will touch the things which are "such as to be 60 I, 6 | the relation between two things which, having position, 61 I, 6 | the relation between two things, one able to impart motion 62 I, 6 | contact" which occurs in the things of Nature.~ 63 I, 7 | the contrary, even if two things, being "others", do act 64 I, 7 | or black: for unless two things either are, or are composed 65 I, 7 | But (iii) since only those things which either involve a " 66 I, 7 | contraries"-and not any things selected at random-are such 67 I, 7 | action and passion are, what things exhibit them, why they do 68 I, 8 | Moreover, according to them, things are seen through air and 69 I, 8 | there is nothing to keep things apart. And in this respect, 70 I, 8 | and the multiplicity of things. He made these concessions 71 I, 8 | other philosophers say that things suffer action through their 72 I, 8 | the manner in which some things "act" while others "suffer 73 I, 8 | then-even without pores-some things will "suffer action" and 74 I, 9 | explain the way in which things in fact possess the power 75 I, 9 | then, to establish that things generate and are generated, 76 I, 10| which can "combine"? Of what things, and under what conditions, 77 I, 10| properties" and "states" with "things": for we see them persisting 78 I, 10| that "once upon a time all things were together and combined". 79 I, 10| existence.)~Since, however, some things are-potentially while others 80 I, 10| Now, as we maintain, some things are such as to act and others 81 I, 10| one another; while other things, viz. agents which have 82 I, 10| patients. Amongst those things, however, which are reciprocally 83 I, 10| combined with bronze. For some things display a hesitating and 84 I, 10| upon the fact that some things are such as to be (a) reciprocally 85 I, 10| easily divisible. For such things can be "combined" without 86 II, 1 | are attributable to the things which undergo natural change. 87 II, 1 | coming-to-be and passing-away of things. (Some, for instance, postulate 88 II, 1 | them, as gold underlies the things that are fashioned of gold. ( 89 II, 1 | itself open to criticism. Things which come-to-be and pass-away 90 II, 2 | active nor susceptible. Things are not called "heavy" and " 91 II, 2 | suffer action from, other things.

How, then, do such things come to-be? For (a) how 102 II, 9 | 9~Since some things are such as to come-to-be 103 II, 9 | originative sources", then, of the things which come-to-be are equal 104 II, 9 | the eternal and primary things.

(For~whereas some things are of necessity, viz. the 109 II, 9 | necessity, viz. the eternal things,~others of necessity are 110 II, 9 | And of these two sets of things, since~they cannot diverge 111 II, 9 | the second to~he. Other things, however, can both be and 112 II, 9 | material origin for~the things which are such as to come-to-be; 113 II, 9 | lays it down; that "some things are Forms, others Participants 114 II, 9 | greater part in bringing, things into being; and we are everywhere 115 II, 9 | This is obvious both in the things that come-to-be by art and 116 II, 9 | enable these bodies to bring things into being-with too instrumental 117 II, 9 | carpentry) as "the cause" of the things that come-to-be: for the 118 II, 9 | Fire is active, i.e. sets things moving, there is a further 119 II, 9 | manner in which it sets things moving.~ 120 II, 10| and passing-away happen to things continuously; and we assert 121 II, 10| several kinds of living things have a number by which they 122 II, 10| an Order controlling all things, and every time (i.e. every 123 II, 10| Nevertheless it Often happens that things pass-away in too short a 124 II, 10| intermingling" by which the things that come-to-be and pass-away 125 II, 10| irregular" coming-to-be of these things is the passing-away of other 126 II, 10| the passing-away of other things.~Coming-to-be and passing-away 127 II, 10| on our theory. For in all things, as we affirm, Nature always 128 II, 10| not-being": but not all things can possess "being", since 129 II, 10| all the other things-the things, I mean, which are reciprocally 130 II, 11| general principle) amongst the things which "are" some are capable 131 II, 11| necessary.~Then are all the things that come-to-be of this 132 II, 11| field of "being", between things that cannot possibly "not-be" 133 II, 11| cannot possibly "not-be" and things that can "not-be"? For instance, 134 II, 11| the coming-to-be of any things is cyclical, it is "necessary" 135 II, 11| the coming-to-be of any things is "necessary", their coming-to-be 136 II, 11| motion, the movement of the things it moves must also be circular. 137 II, 11| so in their turn do the things whose coming-to-be the seasons 138 II, 11| initiate.~Then why do some things manifestly come to-be in 139 II, 11| by inquiring whether all things "return upon themselves" 140 II, 11| it is evident that those things, whose "substance"-that 141 II, 11| which undergoes it.
