15 III, 4 | everywhere. Also, if void and place are infinite, there must
16 III, 5 | somewhere, and there is a place appropriate to each, the
17 III, 5 | rest? For ex hypothesi the place of the body akin to it is
18 III, 5 | Will it occupy the whole place, then? And how? What then
19 III, 5 | others have an ambiguous place between up and down.)~But (
20 III, 5 | must be finite; for the place and the body cannot but
21 III, 5 | other. Neither is the whole place larger than what can be
22 III, 5 | the body larger than the place; for either there would

24 III, 5 | to be in itself is the place of the infinite, that also
25 III, 5 | is necessarily a proper place for each kind of body, if
26 III, 5 | every sensible body is in place, and the kinds or differences
27 III, 5 | kinds or differences of place are up-down, before-behind,
28 III, 5 | there should be an infinite place, and if every body is in
29 III, 5 | and if every body is in place, there cannot be an infinite
30 III, 5 | Surely what is in a special place is in place, and what is
31 III, 5 | in a special place is in place, and what is in place is
32 III, 5 | in place, and what is in place is in a special place. Just,
33 III, 5 | in place is in a special place. Just, then, as the infinite
34 III, 5 | these-so a thing’s being in place means that it is somewhere,
35 III, 6 | different.~But when this takes place in spatial magnitudes, what
36 III, 6 | time and of men it takes place by the passing away of these
37 IV, 1 | must have a knowledge of Place, too, as well as of the
38 IV, 1 | primary sense is change of place, which we call "locomotion".~
39 IV, 1 | The question, what is place? presents many difficulties.
40 IV, 1 | solution.~The existence of place is held to be obvious from
41 IV, 1 | body occupies this same place, the place is thought to
42 IV, 1 | occupies this same place, the place is thought to be different
43 IV, 1 | water, so that clearly the place or space into which and
44 IV, 1 | like-show not only that place is something, but also that
45 IV, 1 | Each is carried to its own place, if it is not hindered,
46 IV, 1 | Though they have no real place, they nevertheless, in respect
47 IV, 1 | involves the existence of place: for one would define void
48 IV, 1 | one would define void as place bereft of body.~These considerations
49 IV, 1 | lead us to suppose that place is something distinct from
50 IV, 1 | every sensible body is in place. Hesiod too might be held
51 IV, 1 | everything is somewhere and in place. If this is its nature,
52 IV, 1 | its nature, the potency of place must be a marvellous thing,
53 IV, 1 | must needs be first; for place does not pass out of existence
54 IV, 1 | also is bounded. But the place cannot be body; for if it
55 IV, 1 | be two bodies in the same place.~(2) Further, if body has
56 IV, 1 | Further, if body has a place and space, clearly so too
57 IV, 1 | distinction between it and its place. Hence if the place of a
58 IV, 1 | its place. Hence if the place of a point is not different
59 IV, 1 | others be different, and place will not be something different
60 IV, 1 | world then are we to suppose place to be? If it has the sort
61 IV, 1 | everything that exists has a place, place too will have a place,
62 IV, 1 | that exists has a place, place too will have a place, and
63 IV, 1 | place, place too will have a place, and so on ad infinitum.~(
64 IV, 1 | just as every body is in place, so, too, every place has
65 IV, 1 | in place, so, too, every place has a body in it. What then
66 IV, 1 | these premisses that their place must grow with them, if
67 IV, 1 | grow with them, if their place is neither less nor greater
68 IV, 2 | and particularly between place which is common and in which
69 IV, 2 | bodies are, and the special place occupied primarily by each.
70 IV, 2 | because you are in this place which contains no more than
71 IV, 2 | no more than you.~Now if place is what primarily contains
72 IV, 2 | be a limit, so that the place would be the form or shape
73 IV, 2 | question in this way the place of a thing is its form.
74 IV, 2 | form. But, if we regard the place as the extension of the
75 IV, 2 | Nevertheless, he did identify place and space.) I mention Plato
76 IV, 2 | because, while all hold place to be something, he alone
77 IV, 2 | difficulty in determining what place is, if indeed it is one
78 IV, 2 | not difficult to see that place cannot be either of them.
79 IV, 2 | from the thing, whereas the place can be separated. As we
80 IV, 2 | other bodies. Hence the place of a thing is neither a
81 IV, 2 | is separable from it. For place is supposed to be something
82 IV, 2 | vessel being a transportable place. But the vessel is no part
83 IV, 2 | and the numbers are not in place, if "what participates"
84 IV, 2 | body be carried to its own place, if place was the matter
85 IV, 2 | carried to its own place, if place was the matter or the form?
86 IV, 2 | distinction of up and down can be place. So place must be looked
87 IV, 2 | and down can be place. So place must be looked for among
88 IV, 2 | characteristics.~If the place is in the thing (it must
89 IV, 2 | either shape or matter) place will have a place: for both
90 IV, 2 | matter) place will have a place: for both the form and the
91 IV, 2 | are not always in the same place, but are where the thing
92 IV, 2 | the thing is. Hence the place will have a place.~Further,
93 IV, 2 | Hence the place will have a place.~Further, when water is
94 IV, 2 | is produced from air, the place has been destroyed, for
95 IV, 2 | body is not in the same place. What sort of destruction
96 IV, 3 | vessel, and generally "in" place.~One might raise the question
97 IV, 3 | Zeno’s problem-that if Place is something it must be
98 IV, 3 | nothing to prevent the first place from being "in" something
99 IV, 3 | else-not indeed in that as "in" place, but as health is "in" the
100 IV, 3 | from what is contained), place could not be either the
101 IV, 4 | 4~What then after all is place? The answer to this question
102 IV, 4 | essentially. We assume then—~(1) Place is what contains that of
103 IV, 4 | that of which it is the place.~(2) Place is no part of
104 IV, 4 | which it is the place.~(2) Place is no part of the thing.~(
105 IV, 4 | thing.~(3) The immediate place of a thing is neither less
106 IV, 4 | greater than the thing.~(4) Place can be left behind by the
107 IV, 4 | separable. In addition:~(5) All place admits of the distinction
108 IV, 4 | carried to its appropriate place and rests there, and this
109 IV, 4 | there, and this makes the place either up or down.~Having
110 IV, 4 | will render an account of place, and will not only solve
111 IV, 4 | we must understand that place would not have been thought
112 IV, 4 | namely that with respect to place. It is chiefly for this
113 IV, 4 | the heaven also to be in place, because it is in constant
114 IV, 4 | too involve variation of place: what was then in this place
115 IV, 4 | place: what was then in this place has now in turn changed
116 IV, 4 | These have changed their place only because the subjects
117 IV, 4 | world, in the sense of in place, because it is in the air,
118 IV, 4 | if all the air were its place, the place of a thing would
119 IV, 4 | air were its place, the place of a thing would not be
120 IV, 4 | be, and which the primary place in which a thing is actually
121 IV, 4 | not in the sense of in place, but as a part in a whole.
122 IV, 4 | these considerations what place is. There are just four
123 IV, 4 | just four things of which place must be one-the shape, or
124 IV, 4 | shape is supposed to be place because it surrounds, for
125 IV, 4 | Both the shape and the place, it is true, are boundaries.
126 IV, 4 | boundary of the thing, the place is the boundary of the body
127 IV, 4 | vessel; at the same time the place too will be undergoing change;
128 IV, 4 | that there will be another place which is the place of the
129 IV, 4 | another place which is the place of the place, and many places
130 IV, 4 | which is the place of the place, and many places will be
131 IV, 4 | There is not a different place of the part, in which it
132 IV, 4 | whole vessel changes its place: it is always the same:
133 IV, 4 | it is in the (proximate) place where they are that the
134 IV, 4 | each other, not in that place in which they come to be,
135 IV, 4 | be, which is part of the place which is the place of the
136 IV, 4 | of the place which is the place of the whole world.~(3)
137 IV, 4 | matter, too, might seem to be place, at least if we consider
138 IV, 4 | that the matter exists-so place, because it presents a similar
139 IV, 4 | nor contains it, whereas place has both characteristics.~
140 IV, 4 | characteristics.~Well, then, if place is none of the three-neither
141 IV, 4 | moved by way of locomotion.)~Place is thought to be something
142 IV, 4 | body that is moved takes place in a stationary container,
143 IV, 4 | vessel which seem to be place, but also what is between
144 IV, 4 | vessel is transportable place, so place is a non-portable
145 IV, 4 | transportable place, so place is a non-portable vessel.
146 IV, 4 | is moved and changes its place, as a boat on a river, what
147 IV, 4 | vessel rather than that of place. Place on the other hand
148 IV, 4 | rather than that of place. Place on the other hand is rather
149 IV, 4 | the whole river that is place, because as a whole it is
150 IV, 4 | boundary of what contains is place.~This explains why the middle
151 IV, 4 | up.~For this reason, too, place is thought to be a kind
152 IV, 4 | container of the thing.~Further, place is coincident with the thing,
153 IV, 5 | containing it, it is in place, and if not, not. That is
154 IV, 5 | simultaneously change its place, though it will be moved
155 IV, 5 | moved in a circle: for this place is the place of its parts. (
156 IV, 5 | circle: for this place is the place of its parts. (Some things
157 IV, 5 | things are potentially in place, others actually. So, when
158 IV, 5 | parts are potentially in place: when the parts are separated,
159 IV, 5 | heap, they are actually in place.~Again, (1) some things
160 IV, 5 | some things are per se in place, namely every body which
161 IV, 5 | anywhere as a whole, nor in any place, if at least, as we must
162 IV, 5 | is moved, its parts have place: for each is contiguous
163 IV, 5 | 2) other things are in place indirectly, through something
164 IV, 5 | latter is, in a way, in place, for all its parts are:
165 IV, 5 | say, is the All. Yet their place is not the same as the heaven.
166 IV, 5 | which were raised about place will be solved when it is
167 IV, 5 | is no necessity that the place should grow with the body
168 IV, 5 | that a point should have a place,~(3) Nor that two bodies
169 IV, 5 | bodies should be in the same place,~(4) Nor that place should
170 IV, 5 | same place,~(4) Nor that place should be a corporeal interval:
171 IV, 5 | between the boundaries of the place is any body which may chance
172 IV, 5 | interval in body.~Further, (5) place is also somewhere, not in
173 IV, 5 | the sense of being in a place, but as the limit is in
174 IV, 5 | everything that is is in place, but only movable body.~
175 IV, 5 | should be carried to its own place. For a body which is next
176 IV, 5 | naturally in its proper place. For this part has the same
177 IV, 5 | the same relation to its place, as a separable part to
178 IV, 6 | what it is-just as about place. The views taken of it involve
179 IV, 6 | exists regard it as a sort of place or vessel which is supposed
180 IV, 6 | if "void" and "full" and "place" denoted the same thing,
181 IV, 6 | one thing, that change in place (i.e. locomotion and increase)
182 IV, 6 | were two bodies in the same place, it would also be true that
183 IV, 7 | The void is thought to be place with nothing in it. The
184 IV, 7 | that while every body is in place, void is place in which
185 IV, 7 | body is in place, void is place in which there is no body,
186 IV, 7 | void; for the void must be place which has in it an interval
187 IV, 7 | body (they identify the place, too, with this), and in
188 IV, 7 | determined the nature of place, and void must, if it exists,
189 IV, 7 | void must, if it exists, be place deprived of body, and we
190 IV, 7 | stated both in what sense place exists and in what sense
191 IV, 7 | something, viz. because place is, and for the same reasons.
192 IV, 7 | of motion in respect of place comes to the aid both of
193 IV, 7 | those who maintain that place is something over and above
194 IV, 7 | in which movement takes place; and this would be the kind
195 IV, 7 | kind of thing that some say place is.~But there is no necessity
196 IV, 7 | even movement in respect of place involves a void; for bodies
197 IV, 7 | be two bodies in the same place (in which case they are
198 IV, 8 | of movement in respect of place, and it is not the condition
199 IV, 8 | Again, if void is a sort of place deprived of body, when there
200 IV, 8 | against those who think that place is something separate, into
201 IV, 8 | to the "up" and "down" in place, as is natural enough since
202 IV, 8 | existence of the void make it a place.~And in what way will things
203 IV, 8 | expected result does not take place when a body is placed as
204 IV, 8 | is placed as a whole in a place conceived of as separate
205 IV, 8 | apart, will not be in a place but in the whole. Further,
206 IV, 8 | whole. Further, if separate place does not exist, neither
207 IV, 8 | at rest; for there is no place to which things can move
208 IV, 8 | wherewith it moves to its proper place. But in a void none of these
209 IV, 8 | of these things can take place, nor can anything be moved
210 IV, 8 | if movement in respect of place is to exist, the void cannot
211 IV, 8 | the same as to say that place is a separate cavity; and
212 IV, 8 | void, and fill the same place, as the part of place or
213 IV, 8 | same place, as the part of place or of the void equal to
214 IV, 8 | differ from the void or place that is equal to it? And
215 IV, 8 | differs in no respect from its place, why need we assume a place
216 IV, 8 | place, why need we assume a place for bodies over and above
217 IV, 9 | if this were not to take place, either there would be no
218 IV, 9 | and expansion cannot take place otherwise.~Now, if they
219 IV, 9 | separate any more than a place can exist with an extension
220 IV, 9 | as that in which it takes place, but in that the void carries
221 IV, 9 | have a local movement or a place? For thus that into which
222 IV, 11 | body, if any movement takes place in the mind we at once suppose
223 IV, 11 | with it seems to have taken place. Hence time is either movement
224 IV, 11 | holds primarily, then, in place; and there in virtue of
225 IV, 12 | contained by time as things in place are contained by place.~
226 IV, 12 | in place are contained by place.~Plainly, too, to be in
227 IV, 12 | than to be in motion or in place means to co-exist with motion
228 IV, 12 | co-exist with motion or place. For if "to be in something"
229 IV, 12 | anything", e.g. the things "in place" by place.~A thing, then,
230 IV, 12 | the things "in place" by place.~A thing, then, will be
231 IV, 13 | this sort of change takes place incidentally in time.~We
232 IV, 14 | movable (for they are all in place), and time and movement
233 V, 1 | that in which motion takes place, namely time, and (distinct
234 V, 1 | experienced by the form or the place or the quantity. So we are
235 V, 1 | form, an affection, or a place, is immovable, as, for instance,
236 V, 1 | "coming to be"-"unqualified coming to be" when the change takes place in an unqualified way, "
237 V, 1 | distinguished as Being, Quality, Place, Time, Relation, Quantity,
238 V, 2 | change.~For in the first place there are two senses in
239 V, 2 | hot or cold, or changes place, or increases or decreases?
240 V, 2 | ignorance.~In the second place, if there is to be change
241 V, 2 | of Quality, Quantity, and Place: for with each of these
242 V, 2 | decrease. Motion in respect of Place has no name either general
243 V, 2 | things that change their place only when they have not
244 V, 2 | immovable" we apply in the first place to that which is absolutely
245 V, 2 | to sound); in the second place to that which is moved with
246 V, 2 | to move; and in the third place to that which is naturally
247 V, 3 | are said to be together in place when they are in one place (
248 V, 3 | place when they are in one place (in the strictest sense
249 V, 3 | strictest sense of the word "place") and to be apart when they
250 V, 3 | in which the motion takes place. This is manifestly true
251 V, 4 | generically it also takes place in a species incapable of
252 V, 4 | again from a particular place to a particular place: if
253 V, 4 | particular place to a particular place: if this motion is specifically
254 V, 4 | in which the motion takes place is specifically different (
255 V, 4 | motion in something, e.g. a place or an affection, and during
256 V, 4 | something, for all motion takes place during a time. Of these
257 V, 4 | in which the motion takes place that makes it one generically
258 V, 4 | in which the motion takes place (the species) must be one
259 V, 4 | that during which it takes place (the time) must be one and
260 V, 4 | is found neither in the place nor in the time nor in the
261 V, 5 | grey to white takes the place of black as starting-point,
262 V, 5 | white to grey it takes the place of black as goal, and in
263 V, 5 | black to grey it takes the place of white as goal: for the
264 V, 6 | remaining at a particular place motion from or motion to
265 V, 6 | motion from or motion to that place? It is surely clear that
266 V, 6 | between which motion takes place, motion from one of these (
267 V, 6 | of a thing to its proper place.~There is also another difficulty
268 V, 6 | remaining in a particular place is contrary to motion from
269 V, 6 | contrary to motion from that place. For when a thing is moving
270 VI, 1 | that is in motion from one place to another cannot at the
271 VI, 1 | completed its motion at the place to which it was in motion:
272 VI, 1 | walk and will be in the place to which it is walking;
273 VI, 1 | completed its motion at the place to which it is in motion.
274 VI, 1 | of starts, and will take place by a thing’s having completed
275 VI, 4 | two senses. In the first place it is divisible in virtue
276 VI, 4 | occupies. In the second place it is divisible according
277 VI, 6 | say that motion has taken place in the whole time ChRh or
278 VI, 6 | likewise be said to have taken place in every other such period.
279 VI, 6 | Therefore motion will have taken place in half the time and in
280 VI, 8 | rest in the natural time, place, and manner, that which
281 VI, 8 | that in which rest takes place is the same as that in which
282 VI, 8 | that in which motion takes place: for we defined a state
283 VI, 9 | motion. For in the first place the parts do not occupy
284 VI, 9 | time: and in the second place the whole also is always
285 VII, 1 | motion. Now in the first place to assume that AB, because
286 VII, 1 | is moved. In the second place that which is in motion
287 VII, 1 | black, or from a particular place to a particular place, in
288 VII, 1 | particular place to a particular place, in a particular period
289 VII, 2 | latter case it pulls to the place where it is, while in the
290 VII, 2 | the former it pulls to the place where it was.) Now it is
291 VII, 3 | alteration.~In the first place, when a particular formation
292 VII, 3 | becoming of them. In the first place it is much more true of
293 VII, 4 | Or shall we in the first place deny that things are always
294 VII, 4 | that over which it takes place. (It is also similarly differentiated,
295 VII, 4 | in the motion that takes place over it. So we have now
296 VIII, 1 | or motion must have taken place in which that which was
297 VIII, 3 | process of change cannot take place in an instant: yet the change
298 VIII, 3 | follows that in respect of place also all things cannot be
299 VIII, 4 | certain quantity in a certain place is naturally movable when
300 VIII, 4 | hot: then a change takes place and it is fire, and it burns,
301 VIII, 5 | this evident. In the first place, if each of the two parts
302 VIII, 5 | intermediate. In the second place, there is no necessity for
303 VIII, 5 | unmoved movent. In the third place, there is no necessity for
304 VIII, 5 | by itself. In the fourth place we should then have a thing
305 VIII, 6 | say, the body changes its place, so that that which is in
306 VIII, 6 | in the body changes its place also and is a self-movent
307 VIII, 7 | must change in respect of place. And further, when a thing
308 VIII, 7 | magnitude changes in respect of place.~Again, there is another
309 VIII, 7 | motion, motion in respect of place, is what is in the strictest
310 VIII, 8 | as motion in respect of place is concerned, upward motion
311 VIII, 8 | contraries in the sphere of place. But we have already defined
312 VIII, 8 | operates, which may be either place or affection or essential
313 VIII, 8 | and within the sphere of place we have the above-mentioned
314 VIII, 8 | which the becoming took place. On the other hand, those
315 VIII, 8 | in which the motion takes place we cannot infer continuity
316 VIII, 8 | one another in respect of place, as e.g. the two motions
317 VIII, 8 | motion of a thing from its place to its place, whereas rectilinear
318 VIII, 8 | thing from its place to its place, whereas rectilinear motion
319 VIII, 8 | motion is motion from its place to another place.~Moreover
320 VIII, 8 | from its place to another place.~Moreover the progress of
321 VIII, 9 | middle-point, which all have their place in it in such a way that
322 VIII, 9 | continues to occupy the same place). The reason of this is
323 VIII, 9 | are motions in respect of place, and the motion imparted
324 VIII, 9 | is motion in respect of place: for their motion that is
325 VIII, 9 | operation may be said to be place. Moreover they are of opinion
326 VIII, 9 | and "separation" that the place of these things in their
327 VIII, 9 | is motion in respect of place. Finally it is to be noted
328 VIII, 9 | is motion in respect of place: if a thing is in process
329 VIII, 9 | remaining at rest in the same place, we say that it is in motion
330 VIII, 10| in which the motion takes place, namely the time: and these
331 VIII, 10| which its action could take place. Suppose that A is the time
332 VIII, 10| motion of this kind takes place in air and water. Some say
