1 I, 2 | to omit "is", others to change the mode of expression and
2 I, 3 | to have a quality-as if change never took place suddenly.
3 I, 3 | Again, why is qualitative change impossible? But, further,
4 I, 4 | kind of thing is reduced to change of quality, while some spoke
5 I, 7 | becoming a statue". The change, however, from an opposite
6 I, 7 | in different ways: (1) by change of shape, as a statue; (
7 I, 7 | will serve to effect the change by its successive absence
8 I, 8 | be and passing away and change generally. If they had come
9 II, 1 | art-have no innate impulse to change. But in so far as they happen
10 II, 1 | those which may cause a change in themselves in virtue
11 II, 1 | a principle of motion or change.~Another account is that "
12 II, 2 | thing undergoes a continuous change and there is a stage which
13 II, 3 | and every kind of physical change, in order that, knowing
14 II, 3 | the primary source of the change or coming to rest; e.g.
15 II, 3 | is made and what causes change of what is changed.~Again (
16 II, 3 | the other as the origin of change. Further the same thing
17 II, 3 | are all sources whence the change or stationariness originates,
18 II, 6 | of causation "source of change", for either some natural
19 III, 1 | principle of motion and change", and it is the subject
20 III, 1 | neither will motion and change have reference to something
21 III, 1 | many types of motion or change as there are meanings of
22 III, 2 | not easily put motion and change in another genus-this is
23 III, 2 | or "non-existent"; Nor is change either to or from these
24 III, 2 | certain size is not undergoing change, nor yet a thing that is
25 III, 2 | source and cause of the change, e.g. the full-formed man
26 IV, 1 | general and primary sense is change of place, which we call "
27 IV, 1 | not always the same but change with the direction in which
28 IV, 2 | the indeterminate undergo change and motion along with the
29 IV, 4 | movement. Of this kind of change there are two species-locomotion
30 IV, 4 | One of the bodies which change places and are naturally
31 IV, 4 | when the water and the air change places, all the portions
32 IV, 4 | place too will be undergoing change; so that there will be another
33 IV, 4 | continuity. For just as in change of quality there is something
34 IV, 5 | does not simultaneously change its place, though it will
35 IV, 6 | argue, for one thing, that change in place (i.e. locomotion
36 IV, 7 | full can suffer qualitative change.~But not even movement in
37 IV, 7 | but also by qualitative change; e.g. if water were to be
38 IV, 9 | air and water must always change into equal amounts (e.g.
39 IV, 9 | air in the same way, the change being sometimes from smallness
40 IV, 9 | but rather of qualitative change.~So much, then, for the
41 IV, 10 | 3) motion and a kind of change, we must consider this view.~
42 IV, 10 | consider this view.~Now (a) the change or movement of each thing
43 IV, 10 | with all things.~Again, (b) change is always faster or slower,
44 IV, 10 | between "movement" and "change".)~
45 IV, 11 | does time exist without change; for when the state of our
46 IV, 11 | of our own minds does not change at all, or we have not noticed
47 IV, 11 | we do not distinguish any change, but the soul seems to stay
48 IV, 11 | independent of movement and change. It is evident, then, that
49 IV, 12 | after, for while the present change is one, the change which
50 IV, 12 | present change is one, the change which has happened and that
51 IV, 12 | since it is the number of change, and change removes what
52 IV, 12 | the number of change, and change removes what is.~Hence,
53 IV, 13 | it is the nature of all change to alter things from their
54 IV, 13 | of coming into being (for change, in itself, makes things
55 IV, 13 | does not work even this change; even this sort of change
56 IV, 13 | change; even this sort of change takes place incidentally
57 IV, 14 | it is evident that every change and everything that moves
58 IV, 14 | exists in reference to all change, since it is found in every
59 IV, 14 | before", evidently every change and every movement is in
60 V, 1 | of three senses. It may change (1) accidentally, as for
61 V, 1 | without qualification to change because something belonging
62 V, 1 | a particular process of change. Thus "perishing" is change
63 V, 1 | change. Thus "perishing" is change to not-being, though it
64 V, 1 | being: and "becoming" is change to being, though it is also
65 V, 1 | being, though it is also change from not-being.~Now a definition
66 V, 1 | affection: thus there may be change to a motion. To this we
67 V, 1 | activity". Now accidental change we may leave out of account:
68 V, 1 | time, and in any respect. Change which is not accidental
69 V, 1 | may be a starting-point of change, since for the purposes
70 V, 1 | for the purposes of the change it serves as contrary to
71 V, 1 | to white.~And since every change is from something to something-as
72 V, 1 | later-that which changes must change in one of four ways: from
73 V, 1 | are only three kinds of change, that from subject to subject,
74 V, 1 | non-subject to nonsubject, is not change, as in that case there is
75 V, 1 | of contradictories.~Now change from non-subject to subject,
76 V, 1 | "coming to be"-"unqualified coming to be" when the change takes place in an unqualified
77 V, 1 | particular coming to be" when the change is change in a particular
78 V, 1 | to be" when the change is change in a particular character:
79 V, 1 | character: for instance, a change from not-white to white
80 V, 1 | particular thing, white, while change from unqualified not-being
81 V, 1 | some particular thing. Change from subject to non-subject
82 V, 1 | "perishing"-"unqualified perishing" when the change is from being to not-being, "
83 V, 1 | particular perishing" when the change is to the opposite negation,
84 V, 1 | every motion is a kind of change, and there are only the
85 V, 1 | only the three kinds of change mentioned above, and since
86 V, 1 | necessarily follows that only change from subject to subject
87 V, 2 | although this does not itself change, is no longer applicable,
88 V, 2 | of becoming or in general change of change.~For in the first
89 V, 2 | or in general change of change.~For in the first place
90 V, 2 | decreases? Impossible: for change is not a subject. Or (2)
91 V, 2 | other subject changes from a change to another mode of being,
92 V, 2 | subject may be, movement is change from one form to another. (
93 V, 2 | these processes we have a change to a particular kind of
94 V, 2 | the other, motion, is a change to a different kind.) So,
95 V, 2 | changing from this very change to another. It is clear,
96 V, 2 | whatever may be the other change concerned (for that it should
97 V, 2 | can never be any casual change, but must be a change from
98 V, 2 | casual change, but must be a change from something definite
99 V, 2 | it must be the opposite change, viz. convalescence. It
100 V, 2 | accidentally that there can be change of change, e.g. there is
101 V, 2 | that there can be change of change, e.g. there is a change
102 V, 2 | change, e.g. there is a change from remembering to forgetting
103 V, 2 | because the subject of this change changes at one time to knowledge,
104 V, 2 | place, if there is to be change of change and becoming of
105 V, 2 | there is to be change of change and becoming of becoming,
106 V, 2 | series of changes is to be a change of change, the preceding
107 V, 2 | changes is to be a change of change, the preceding change must
108 V, 2 | of change, the preceding change must also be so: e.g. if
109 V, 2 | can become or be moved or change.~Thirdly, if a thing is
110 V, 2 | partially, or essentially, change can change only accidentally,
111 V, 2 | essentially, change can change only accidentally, as e.g.
112 V, 2 | or learns: and accidental change we have long ago decided
113 V, 2 | applicable to things that change their place only when they
114 V, 2 | move themselves locally.~Change within the same kind from
115 V, 2 | in a qualified sense: for change to a lesser degree of a
116 V, 2 | a quality will be called change to the contrary of that
117 V, 2 | contrary of that quality, and change to a greater degree of a
118 V, 2 | quality will be regarded as change from the contrary of that
119 V, 2 | no difference whether the change be qualified or unqualified,
120 V, 2 | the number of kinds of change, and the different varieties
121 V, 3 | things: for in a process of change it is the contrary that
122 V, 3 | kind as well. (Now every change implies a pair of opposites,
123 V, 5 | from the starting-point of change, e.g. motion to health we
124 V, 5 | to disease").~Since then change differs from motion (motion
125 V, 5 | from motion (motion being change from a particular subject
126 V, 5 | starting-point is specified, is a change but not a motion. And in
127 V, 5 | contrary we have as contraries change from and change to the same
128 V, 5 | contraries change from and change to the same thing. Thus
129 V, 5 | whichever direction the change may be, e.g. grey in a motion
130 V, 6 | are opposite changes (viz. change from the thing and change
131 V, 6 | change from the thing and change to the thing, e.g. change
132 V, 6 | change to the thing, e.g. change from being and change to
133 V, 6 | e.g. change from being and change to being), but no motion.
134 V, 6 | though there is absence of change. Should there be a particular
135 V, 6 | particular subject, absence of change in its being will be contrary
136 V, 6 | be contrary to absence of change in its not-being. And here
137 V, 6 | is contrary to absence of change in a thing’s being? and
138 V, 6 | and is this absence of change a state of rest? If it is,
139 V, 6 | say that this absence of change is a state of rest: we must
140 V, 6 | rest and call it absence of change. And it will have for its
141 V, 6 | either nothing or absence of change in the thing’s not-being,
142 V, 6 | for such ceasing to be is change from it and the thing’s
143 V, 6 | thing’s coming to be is change to it.~Again, a further
144 V, 6 | asked, that whereas in local change both remaining and moving
145 VI, 4 | divisible. For since every change is from something to something,
146 VI, 4 | thing is at the goal of its change it is no longer changing,
147 VI, 4 | the starting-point of its change it is not changing (for
148 VI, 4 | condition is not in a state of change); it follows, therefore,
149 VI, 4 | neither. (Here by "goal of change" I mean that which comes
150 VI, 4 | first in the process of change: e.g. in a process of change
151 VI, 4 | change: e.g. in a process of change from white the goal in question
152 VI, 4 | everything that forms a sphere of change (though some of these are
153 VI, 5 | in each case.~One kind of change, then, being change in a
154 VI, 5 | kind of change, then, being change in a relation of contradiction,
155 VI, 5 | then, that in contradictory change that which has changed must
156 VI, 5 | is true in this kind of change, it will be true in all
157 VI, 5 | if we take each kind of change separately, the truth of
158 VI, 5 | interval between G and B, since change is continuous. Thus we have
159 VI, 5 | universally to every kind of change, and its truth is most obvious
160 VI, 5 | the case of contradictory change. It is clear, then, that
161 VI, 5 | effected the completion of its change must be indivisible, where
162 VI, 5 | If then the completion of change has been effected in AB
163 VI, 5 | which the completion of change has been effected. If, on
164 VI, 5 | only the completion of the change. It is equally impossible
165 VI, 5 | other the completion of the change: for then we shall have
166 VI, 5 | which the completion of change has been effected must be
167 VI, 5 | completion of the process of change—the moment when it is correct
168 VI, 5 | beginning of the process of change. Now the primary when that
169 VI, 5 | reference to the end of the change is something really existent:
170 VI, 5 | something really existent: for a change may really be completed,
171 VI, 5 | such a thing as an end of change, which we have in fact shown
172 VI, 5 | beginning of a process of change, and the time occupied by
173 VI, 5 | the time occupied by the change does not contain any primary
174 VI, 5 | primary when in which the change began. For suppose that
175 VI, 5 | immediately preceding the change and the moment in which
176 VI, 5 | the moment in which the change begins would be consecutive (
177 VI, 5 | hand, it is in process of change in both parts, it is likewise
178 VI, 5 | is likewise in process of change in the whole: and if, again,
179 VI, 5 | reference to the beginning of change there is no primary when
180 VI, 5 | no primary when in which change has been effected: for the
181 VI, 5 | observed. For in a process of change we may distinguish three
182 VI, 5 | and the actual subject of change, e.g. the man, the time,
183 VI, 5 | For of actual subjects of change it will be seen that those
184 VI, 5 | the case of quantitative change, we shall get a like result,
185 VI, 5 | result, for here too the change is in something continuous.
186 VI, 6 | which a thing is said to change may be the primary time,
187 VI, 6 | perished or ceased from its change must either be changing
188 VI, 6 | part of the time of its change, and since it cannot be
189 VI, 6 | will have completed another change, in a quarter another, and
190 VI, 6 | consequently, before the change is completed, the thing
191 VI, 6 | proof also holds good of change with respect to what is
192 VI, 6 | changed, and a process of change is preceded by a completion
193 VI, 6 | preceded by a completion of change and a completion by a process:
194 VI, 6 | contiguous, and therefore in change the process of division
195 VI, 6 | absolutely first stage of change can be represented by any
196 VI, 9 | reference to contradictory change shall we find anything unanswerable
197 VI, 10 | in which it undergoes the change. Then in the time in which
198 VI, 10 | will have completed the change, whereas the assumption
199 VI, 10 | the assumption is that the change is in process. It remains,
200 VI, 10 | parts to be in motion or to change in any way: for only one
201 VI, 10 | completed a motion or a change, so that it would never
202 VI, 10 | point is that no process of change is infinite: for every change,
203 VI, 10 | change is infinite: for every change, whether between contradictories
204 VI, 10 | between contraries, is a change from something to something.
205 VI, 10 | points of any such process of change, and consequently of every
206 VI, 10 | which cannot complete a change should be in process of
207 VI, 10 | which it cannot complete a change. If, then, it is to be assumed
208 VI, 10 | capable of completing the change. Consequently its motion
209 VI, 10 | then, that a process of change cannot be infinite in the
210 VI, 10 | and the same process of change may be infinite in respect
211 VII, 3 | becoming or in fact of any change whatever, it is evident
212 VII, 3 | as we have said above, change at all can have a becoming.
213 VII, 4 | velocity where the same change is accomplished in an equal
214 VIII, 1 | which is capable of local change that is in locomotion: and
215 VIII, 1 | motion in question another change or motion must have taken
216 VIII, 1 | have been in process of change: for there must have been
217 VIII, 1 | Therefore, before this first change there will be a previous
218 VIII, 1 | there will be a previous change. For some things cause motion
219 VIII, 1 | have been in process of change: for in what is relative
220 VIII, 1 | have been in process of change. It follows then, that there
221 VIII, 1 | there will be a process of change previous to the first.~(
222 VIII, 1 | existence of a process of change previous to the first, in
223 VIII, 1 | existence of a process of change subsequent to the last:
224 VIII, 1 | there will be a process of change subsequent to the last,)
225 VIII, 1 | destroyed also is a kind of change. If, then, view which we
226 VIII, 2 | said that no process of change is eternal: for the nature
227 VIII, 2 | eternal: for the nature of all change is such that it proceeds
228 VIII, 2 | so that every process of change must be bounded by the contraries
229 VIII, 3 | the future: the process of change cannot take place in an
230 VIII, 3 | place in an instant: yet the change cannot be a change to anything
231 VIII, 3 | yet the change cannot be a change to anything else but health.
232 VIII, 3 | obvious: for alteration is a change from one contrary to another.
233 VIII, 4 | potentially hot: then a change takes place and it is fire,
234 VIII, 6 | unmoved and exempt from all change, which can affect it neither
235 VIII, 6 | undergoing any process of change at one time be and at another
236 VIII, 6 | the continuous process of change: and this causes the motion
237 VIII, 6 | becoming and perishing and no change of any kind in other things,
238 VIII, 6 | unmoved does not itself change in relation to that which
239 VIII, 6 | changing, so that they too must change. But the unmoved movent,
240 VIII, 7 | then, in that there is this change from contrary to contrary.
241 VIII, 7 | and separated things must change in respect of place. And
242 VIII, 7 | of the other processes of change is so either.~Thirdly, that
243 VIII, 7 | that does not involve a change of being in the sense in
244 VIII, 7 | sense in which there is a change in quality when a thing
245 VIII, 7 | a thing is altered and a change in quantity when a thing
246 VIII, 7 | Every other motion and change is from an opposite to an
247 VIII, 7 | changes at the same time, the change will not be continuous,
248 VIII, 7 | contrary to the process of change: it may be true that the
249 VIII, 7 | is this that prevents the change from being continuous: so,
250 VIII, 7 | true of the other kinds of change, since it would be in the
251 VIII, 8 | thing that is in process of change from a position in which
252 VIII, 8 | two contrary processes of change must occur. The reason is
253 VIII, 8 | process, and in quantitative change there are the intervening
254 VIII, 8 | that there is no process of change that admits of infinity
255 VIII, 10| itself be in process of change and in being so will also
256 VIII, 10| movent that has no need to change along with that which it
257 VIII, 10| is never subject to any change. So, too, in order that
258 VIII, 10| moved must not be subject to change in respect of its relation
