Now equal forces 15 2 | something without which is absolutely at rest and immovable. Now 16 | according 17 10| thing follows another in its accustomed order. So in animals there 18 7 | quickly.

And so when these are affected in this way, and when besides 24 7 | or cold or some kindred affection a change is set up in the 25 2 | or swimming were not the air and the sea to resist. And 26 4 | of the heavens which, as akin to what has gone before, 27 | already 28 | Although 29 1 | the centre is held to be altogether indivisible (for in mathematics 30 | am 31 | among 32 10| moved, still in the material animated body there must be some 33 8 | generally. So, memories and anticipations, using as it were the reflected 34 10| works.) And this spirit appears to stand to the soul-centre 35 4 | the result of the present argument would be to do away with 36 11| for often upon an image arising and without express mandate 37 11| point. The movements then arrive at the centre from each 38 10| individuals each play their assigned part as it is ordered, and 39 3 | or its continuity be torn asunder; but they argue less well 40 5 | movement, when the creature attains maturity; and therefore 41 7 | begins. However, in the automata and the toy wagon there 42 7 | be compared with those of automatic puppets, which are set going 43 7 | the wooden levers in the automaton, and the iron; the tendons 44 9 | For example, in the line BAC, B is moved, and A is the 45 3 | force than will exactly balance the stability of the earth— 46 3 | the earth appear to have based the fable upon intelligent 47 8 | original is not in the hand, be-there is still something higher 48 11| affections, since they bring to bear the images or forms which 49 6 | a term. Now the eternal beautiful, and the truly and primarily 50 | became 51 | become 52 | becoming 53 5 | exist before the moved, the begetter before the begotten, and 54 5 | the begetter before the begotten, and nothing is prior to 55 1 | theories, and with these we believe that general theories ought 56 6 | of desire, while purpose belongs both to intellect and to 57 1 | the joint. And when it is bending and being moved one of the 58 1 | and two, both straight and bent, changing potentially and 59 10| the parts of the body, is better postponed. At all events 60 | beyond 61 2 | the boat. For whether one blew gently or so stoutly as 62 8 | considering the affections.

For whether 67 11| to affections, since they bring to bear the images or forms 68 3 | say that as the Sphere is carried round in a circle no single 69 9 | sense-perception and thus changes, it carries with it the parts that depend 70 4 | essential difference between casting a great and a small weight, 71 7 | This change of quality is caused by imaginations and sensations 72 10| she resides in a kind of central governing place of the body, 73 5 | through another and by other channels, nor can anything possibly 74 10| and this is precisely the characteristic of spirit. It contracts 75 1 | reasons for their particular characters (for some animals fly, some 76 7 | with the toy wagon.

And since all inorganic 92 3 | these difficulties we may conclude that there is something 93 11| said above, produce the conditions necessary to affections, 94 6 | the end in the domain of conduct. Accordingly among goods 95 6 | seeming good. From these considerations it is clear that in one 96 4 | has gone before, may be considered next. For if one could overcome 97 8 | body. One may see this by considering the affections. Blind courage 98 11| display this motion more conspicuously than the rest, because each 99 10| remains always the same or constantly changes and is renewed, 100 8 | passive and active have the constitution we have many times described, 101 4 | the question whether all contain in themselves both that 102 11| the reason being that each contains vital moisture. In the case 103 7 | increase by warmth and again contract by cold and change their 104 9 | they too are extended or contracted, and in this way the movement 105 10| capable of expanding and contracting; and this is precisely the 106 10| characteristic of spirit. It contracts and expands naturally, and 107 11| centre.~Moreover a movement contrary to reason sometimes does 108 8 | motions, and the rest of the corporeal affections, pleasant and 109 3 | point at least they argue correctly who say that as the Sphere 110 8 | speed are due to the natural correspondence of the active and passive.~ 111 4 | men do when they spit and cough and when they breathe in 112 8 | considering the affections. Blind courage and panic fears, erotic 113 3 | is no part of that which creates movement; or if the mover 114 10| nature taking the place of custom—and each part naturally 115 7 | the same principle as the cylinders). Animals have parts of 116 1 | just as if the points A and D of a diameter were at rest, 117 1 | rest, and B were moved, and DAC were generated. However, 118 11| must increase and other decrease, the body must straightway 119 9 | carries with it the parts that depend upon it and they too are 120 11| changes that nature makes dependent upon one another. Now the 121 10| possess connatural spirit and derive power from this. (How this 122 8 | the moving original which derives from the soul is not in 123 7 | or conceiving it, what he desires he does at once. For the 124 4 | necessity impossible to destroy and to dissolve, whereas 125 8 | stick may be looked at as a detached part of the whole. It follows 126 1 | we have investigated in detail the movement of animals 127 7 | s breadth you get a wide deviation at the prow. And further, 128 11| from each letter in the diagram we have drawn, and flow 129 1 | their various kinds, the differences between them, and the reasons 130 6 | creature, in another regard differently, and so while it is moved 131 6 | faculties of judgement though differing according to distinctions 132 3 | 3~Here we may ask the difficult question whether if something 133 3 | From a review of these difficulties we may conclude that there 134 4 | difficulty, however, we will discuss elsewhere.~To resume, must 135 1 | determined (when we were discussing whether eternal motion exists 136 4 | kind involves a different discussion. Animals at any rate which 137 10| events we see that it is well disposed to excite movement and to 138 10| compound body by dint of disproportion; the light is overcome and 139 4 | impossible to destroy and to dissolve, whereas the result of the 140 4 | possibility or impossibility of dissolving the system of the heavens, 141 9 | This something is the soul, distinct from the spatial magnitude 142 6 | though differing according to distinctions stated elsewhere. Will, 143 6 | another time not good), is too divine and precious to be relative 144 10| and each part naturally doing his own work as nature has 145 6 | intellect, only the end in the domain of conduct. Accordingly 146 | down 147 11| letter in the diagram we have drawn, and flow back again from 148 8 | simultaneity and speed are due to the natural correspondence 149 7 | good for man, one does not dwell upon the minor "I am a man". 150 5 | necessary. However, the earliest growth and alteration in 151 2 | problem why it is that a man easily moves a boat from outside, 152 7 | conception have the same effect as the objects so imagined 153 10| compared with the fiery element, and levity by comparison 154 10| kind described, for the elementary bodies prevail over one 155 8 | them falls short of the elements of its essence, straightway 156 8 | of another. And so nature employs it sometimes as one, sometimes 157 7 | changes some parts of the body enlarge, others grow smaller. And 158 | enough 159 4 | chain"; for that which is entirely immovable cannot possibly 160 1 | phrase goes, no mathematical entity being really moved), whereas 161 3 | first immovable it will equally be no part of that which 162 8 | courage and panic fears, erotic motions, and the rest of 163 8 | short of the elements of its essence, straightway one acts and 164 4 | expire; for there is no essential difference between casting 165 10| commonwealth. When order is once established in it there is no more need 166 10| better postponed. At all events we see that it is well disposed 167 2 | there will be no movement. Evidence of this lies in the problem 168 8 | stick in his hand), it is evident that the soul, the original 169 3 | no more force than will exactly balance the stability of 170 | except 171 10| that it is well disposed to excite movement and to exert power; 172 8 | which becomes two in actual exercise. Now if the arm were the 173 3 | rest, so that the power it exerts is greater, rather than 174 10| one and the same cause, exhibiting gravity compared with the 175 3 | things have any substantial existence it is impossible for a single 176 1 | discussing whether eternal motion exists or not, and its definition, 177 10| movement must be capable of expanding and contracting; and this 178 10| spirit. It contracts and expands naturally, and so is able 179 10| of force and power. Now experience shows us that animals do 180 4 | even when they inspire and expire; for there is no essential 181 11| image arising and without express mandate of the reason these 182 9 | upon it and they too are extended or contracted, and in this 183 2 | involves a speculation which extends beyond animals even to the 184 6 | not the good in its whole extent. For it initiates movement 185 6 | mind, since all three are faculties of judgement though differing 186 6 | whereas desire and its faculty are moved and so move. But 187 8 | passive, and neither of them falls short of the elements of 188 7 | hot or cold or pleasant or fearful is like what the actual 189 8 | Blind courage and panic fears, erotic motions, and the 190 3 | fable of Atlas setting his feet upon the earth appear to 191 1 | mathematics motion is a fiction, as the phrase goes, no 192 8 | we pursue or avoid in the field of action is, as has been 193 10| gravity compared with the fiery element, and levity by comparison 194 11| sometimes not.~And so we have finished our account of the reasons 195 8 | anything, while, in the flexion, one point of the elbow, 196 11| too is vital is that there flows from it the seminal potency, 197 1 | characters (for some animals fly, some swim, some walk, others 198 2 | to remain still, nor any flying or swimming were not the 199 7 | thought proper) is sometimes followed by action, sometimes not; 200 3 | absences of motion. Now equal forces are unaffected by one another, 201 | former 202 | found 203 7 | and so we shudder and are frightened at a mere idea. Now all 204 10| to exert power; and the functions of movement are thrusting 205 11| animal, of the soul, and furthere of sense-perception, of 206 1 | were moved, and DAC were generated. However, in the geometrical 207 11| while an indication that the generative organ too is vital is that 208 2 | boat. For whether one blew gently or so stoutly as to make 209 1 | generated. However, in the geometrical illustration, the centre 210 7 | rudder a hair’s breadth you get a wide deviation at the 211 7 | and if B then A, so one gets A to begin with. Now that 212 2 | would never move it, no not giant Tityus himself nor Boreas 213 2 | that something always to give way (as it does for mice 214 10| movement—a definition which gives the cause—desire is the 215 8 | thinking that one ought to go and going are virtually 216 4 | hard; come, all ye gods and goddesses! Set hands to the chain"; 217 4 | right hard; come, all ye gods and goddesses! Set hands 218 4 | which, as akin to what has gone before, may be considered 219 6 | conduct. Accordingly among goods that which moves is a practical 220 7 | us say, or turning white, goose-skin and shivers and their opposites.~ 221 10| resides in a kind of central governing place of the body, and the 222 2 | does for mice walking in grain or persons walking in sand) 223 1 | be immovable. And we must grasp this not only generally 224 10| the same cause, exhibiting gravity compared with the fiery 225 3 | the fable upon intelligent grounds. They make Atlas a kind 226 7 | the body enlarge, others grow smaller. And it is not hard 227 7 | by shifting the rudder a hair’s breadth you get a wide 228 8 | see the reason of nature’s handiwork in the inward parts, and 229 4 | gods and goddesses! Set hands to the chain"; for that 230 6 | in the region of things happening, since the living creature 231 1 | general theories ought to harmonize. Now in the world of sense 232 3 | force, though conceived as having no magnitude, but as merely 233 9 | those that is from the head, and to the bones which 234 7 | further, when by reason of heat or cold or some kindred 235 4 | Zeus, highest of all from heaven to the plain, no not even 236 10| overcome and kept down by the heavier, and the heavy kept up by 237 10| by the heavier, and the heavy kept up by the lighter.~ 238 1 | illustration, the centre is held to be altogether indivisible ( 239 | her 240 | herein 241 4 | ye would not pull Zeus, highest of all from heaven to the 242 8 | there be something else to hinder action. The organic parts 243 1 | tibia is moved, and the hip when the whole leg. Accordingly 244 4 | conceive it the word of Homer would appear to have been 245 7 | form conceived be it of hot or cold or pleasant or fearful 246 9 | movement begins, the extremes, i.e. the originals, in A would 247 7 | are frightened at a mere idea. Now all these affections 248 7 | imaginations and sensations and by ideas. Sensations are obviously 249 1 | However, in the geometrical illustration, the centre is held to be 250 11| member; for often upon an image arising and without express 251 7 | of quality is caused by imaginations and sensations and by ideas. 252 7 | effect as the objects so imagined and conceived For in a measure 253 7 | either by perceiving, or imagining or conceiving it, what he 254 7 | and desire is the last or immediate cause of movement, and desire 255 6 | by one another by mutual impact. And so all their motions 256 7 | way living creatures are impelled to move and to act, and 257 7 | of the heart, even in an imperceptibly small part of the heart, 258 4 | back, the possibility or impossibility of dissolving the system 259 11| which is passive to the impressions is there in sufficient quantity 260 4 | fire, earth, or any other inanimate thing, must support themselves 261 6 | motions have a term or limit, inasmuch as the movements of things 262 11| of the senses, while an indication that the generative organ 263 8 | original cannot lie in any individual origin which is the end 264 1 | is held to be altogether indivisible (for in mathematics motion 265 2 | the animal is still quite ineffectual unless there be something 266 7 | the case of thinking and inferring about the immovable objects 267 7 | create and now act under the influence of appetite or impulse or 268 7 | of quality, though if the inner wheels became smaller and 269 6 | concerning it. And since all inorganic things are moved by some 270 6 | Metaphysics, it remains to inquire how the soul moves the body, 271 4 | outside them, even when they inspire and expire; for there is 272 4 | and whether they also, for instance fire, earth, or any other 273 3 | have based the fable upon intelligent grounds. They make Atlas 274 1 | 1~ELSEWHERE we have investigated in detail the movement of 275 1 | ways); there remains an investigation of the common ground of 276 7 | Now all these affections involve changes of quality, and 277 8 | nature’s handiwork in the inward parts, and in the centres 278 7 | in the automaton, and the iron; the tendons are like the 279 6 | all three are faculties of judgement though differing according 280 7 | of heat or cold or some kindred affection a change is set 281 1 | when the whole arm; the knee when the tibia is moved, 282 7 | the power of becoming now larger and now smaller, and changing 283 | latter 284 7 | when these are tightened or leased movement begins. However, 285 | least 286 1 | and the hip when the whole leg. Accordingly it is plain 287 9 | back and so moving their legs. There must then be some 288 | let 289 11| at the centre from each letter in the diagram we have drawn, 290 10| with the fiery element, and levity by comparison with the opposites 291 8 | however, it is possible for a lifeless thing to be so related to 292 10| dint of disproportion; the light is overcome and kept down 293 10| the heavy kept up by the lighter.~We have now explained what 294 9 | action more than one; for the limbs are moved simultaneously 295 6 | their motions have a term or limit, inasmuch as the movements 296 9 | extremes the middle is the limiting point; and this is similarly 297 9 | moved. For example, in the line BAC, B is moved, and A is 298 10| and the remaining parts live by continuity of natural 299 9 | magnitude just described and yet located therein.~ 300 1 | remains at rest when the lower part of a limb is moved; 301 | made 302 10| this connatural spirit is maintained in the body is explained 303 11| arising and without express mandate of the reason these parts 304 6 | some other thing—and the manner of the movement of the first 305 | many 306 2 | animals even to the motion and march of the universe. For just 307 2 | putting it against the mast or some other part, but 308 1 | altogether indivisible (for in mathematics motion is a fiction, as 309 5 | when the creature attains maturity; and therefore it is the 310 8 | unmoved, and this is our meaning when we speak of a point 311 7 | imagined and conceived For in a measure the form conceived be it 312 8 | the body generally. So, memories and anticipations, using 313 11| sense-perception, of sleep, of memory, and of movement in general; 314 7 | and are frightened at a mere idea. Now all these affections 315 3 | having no magnitude, but as merely termini or points. For besides 316 6 | determined before in our Metaphysics, it remains to inquire how 317 2 | give way (as it does for mice walking in grain or persons 318 8 | unconscious of what happens in the minute parts; still anything painful 319 11| imagination nor desire is properly mistress of any of these; but since 320 11| that each contains vital moisture. In the case of the heart 321 10| more need of a separate monarch to preside over each several 322 4 | impossible to see the men in the moon, we use two senses of the 323 | most 324 7 | toy wagon. For the child mounts on it and moves it straight 325 | much 326 11| the centre is potentially multiple) the movement of B goes 327 6 | moved by one another by mutual impact. And so all their 328 3 | things moved by them.~And the mythologists with their fable of Atlas 329 4 | have been well spoken:~"Nay, ye would not pull Zeus, 330 | never 331 | next 332 7 | the centre makes great and numerous changes at the circumference, 333 8 | precisely similar relation obtains between the hand and the 334 7 | stop to consider at all an obvious minor premise; for example 335 7 | by ideas. Sensations are obviously a form of change of quality, 336 7 | see that a small change occurring at the centre makes great 337 7 | ought to walk, one is a man oneself: straightway one walks; 338 9 | the sensorium is in our opinion in the centre too; and so, 339 10| their assigned part as it is ordered, and one thing follows another 340 10| animals there is the same orderliness—nature taking the place 341 4 | from which this force would originate will not be infinite, for 342 10| which is moved when the soul originates movement in the body, and 343 8 | has an end point and an originative point by reference to the 344 7 | it is moved in a circle owing to its wheels being of unequal 345 8 | images of these pleasures and pains, are now more and now less 346 2 | represent him; for they paint him sending the breath out 347 2 | were blowing in the way painters represent him; for they 348 8 | affections. Blind courage and panic fears, erotic motions, and 349 7 | not? What happens seems parallel to the case of thinking 350 10| body is explained in other passages of our works.) And this 351 2 | Now it is worth while to pause and consider what has been 352 7 | to his object either by perceiving, or imagining or conceiving 353 7 | and desire arises after perception or after imagination and 354 | Perhaps 355 7 | a vast difference in the periphery of the body,—blushing, let 356 2 | mice walking in grain or persons walking in sand) advance 357 1 | motion is a fiction, as the phrase goes, no mathematical entity 358 8 | reflected images of these pleasures and pains, are now more 359 2 | outside, if he push with a pole, putting it against the 360 3 | theory involves them in the position that the earth is no part 361 10| parts of the body, is better postponed. At all events we see that 362 6 | goods that which moves is a practical end, not the good in its 363 6 | good), is too divine and precious to be relative to anything 364 8 | organic parts are suitably prepared by the affections, these 365 10| of a separate monarch to preside over each several task. 366 10| for the elementary bodies prevail over one another in a compound 367 6 | beautiful, and the truly and primarily good (which is not at one 368 7 | like a centre on the same principle as the cylinders). Animals 369 5 | begotten, and nothing is prior to itself.~ 370 11| of the heart and of the privy member; for often upon an 371 5 | generation and decay, and probably of all the secondary movements 372 2 | Evidence of this lies in the problem why it is that a man easily 373 11| imagination, as we said above, produce the conditions necessary 374 7 | imagination, and thought proper) is sometimes followed by 375 3 | as there is a necessary proportion between opposite motions, 376 7 | so acts in the two cases provided that there is nothing in 377 7 | a wide deviation at the prow. And further, when by reason 378 10| movement are thrusting and pulling. Accordingly, the organ 379 2 | If, however, he pushes or pulls from outside he does move 380 7 | with those of automatic puppets, which are set going on 381 3 | centre of things. For as the pusher pushes so is the pushed 382 1 | the origin of movement, qua origin, always remains at 383 5 | that which causes its own qualitative changes, and its own growth? 384 7 | without reflection, we do quickly. For when a man actualizes 385 2 | rest in the animal is still quite ineffectual unless there 386 4 | discussion. Animals at any rate which move themselves are 387 11| movements in the centre, and so reach one another. Conceive A 388 6 | appetite. And all these are reducible to mind and desire. For 389 8 | anticipations, using as it were the reflected images of these pleasures 390 6 | divine and precious to be relative to anything else. The prime 391 8 | in question. For example, relatively to the end point of the 392 7 | movement; the levers are released, and strike the twisted 393 10| constantly changes and is renewed, like the cognate question 394 2 | blowing in the way painters represent him; for they paint him 395 10| soul in each part, but she resides in a kind of central governing 396 2 | not the air and the sea to resist. And this which resists 397 2 | to resist. And this which resists must needs be different 398 11| mean sleep and waking and respiration, and other similar organic 399 8 | straightway one acts and the other responds. And on this account thinking 400 4 | will discuss elsewhere.~To resume, must there be something 401 8 | 8~But to return, the object we pursue or 402 3 | make the poles two. From a review of these difficulties we 403 6 | seeming good may take the room of actual good, and so may 404 3 | as the Sphere is carried round in a circle no single part 405 7 | just as by shifting the rudder a hair’s breadth you get 406 2 | grain or persons walking in sand) advance would be impossible, 407 7 | the immovable objects of science. There the end is the truth 408 2 | were not the air and the sea to resist. And this which 409 2 | and so to push, and in the second place for this member, either 410 5 | and probably of all the secondary movements too. And as in 411 1 | for with these in view we seek general theories, and with 412 | seems 413 11| there flows from it the seminal potency, itself a kind of 414 2 | him; for they paint him sending the breath out from the 415 9 | reasonable arrangement.
