8 V, 1 | may be a thing capable of alteration: and within the sphere of
9 V, 1 | and within the sphere of alteration it is again a different
10 V, 2 | the soul that undergoes alteration: what is it that correspondingly
11 V, 2 | respect of Quality let us call alteration, a general designation that
12 V, 2 | greater to a lesser degree is alteration: for it is motion either
13 V, 4 | other locomotion, whereas alteration is different generically
14 V, 4 | that Socrates undergoes an alteration specifically the same but
15 V, 4 | thus there may be regular alteration, and locomotion in a regular
16 V, 4 | should a motion composed of alteration and locomotion be regular?
17 V, 6 | changes this is not so? e.g. alteration is not now natural and now
18 VI, 10| consequently of every process of alteration: for alteration is always
19 VI, 10| process of alteration: for alteration is always dependent upon
20 VI, 10| succeeded by a process of alteration and that by a process of
21 VII, 2 | locomotion, that which causes alteration, and that which causes increase
22 VII, 2 | undergoes and that which causes alteration: this can be proved by induction:
23 VII, 2 | and that which undergoes alteration are adjacent. For our assumption
24 VII, 2 | things that are undergoing alteration are altered in virtue of
25 VII, 2 | or lesser degree. But the alteration of that which undergoes
26 VII, 2 | of that which undergoes alteration is also caused by the above-mentioned
27 VII, 2 | even the senses undergo alteration, since the active sense
28 VII, 2 | capable of every kind of alteration of which the inanimate is
29 VII, 2 | capable of every kind of alteration of which the animate is
30 VII, 2 | since it is not capable of alteration in respect of the senses:
31 VII, 2 | unconscious of being affected by alteration, whereas the animate is
32 VII, 2 | when the process of the alteration does not concern the senses.
33 VII, 2 | senses. Since, then, the alteration of that which undergoes
34 VII, 2 | of that which undergoes alteration is caused by sensible things,
35 VII, 2 | things, in every case of such alteration it is evident that the respective
36 VII, 2 | and that which undergoes alteration are adjacent. Thus the air
37 VII, 2 | with that which causes the alteration, and the body that undergoes
38 VII, 2 | the body that undergoes alteration is continuous with the air.
39 VII, 2 | undergoes and that which causes alteration.~Nor, again, can there be
40 VII, 3 | we say, that undergoes alteration is altered by sensible causes,
41 VII, 3 | sensible causes, and there is alteration only in things that are
42 VII, 3 | to suppose that there is alteration in figures and shapes, and
43 VII, 3 | classes of things is there alteration.~In the first place, when
44 VII, 3 | their becoming is not an alteration.~Again, acquired states,
45 VII, 3 | excellence nor defect is an alteration: excellence is a perfection (
46 VII, 3 | arrival at perfection an alteration (for it would be absurd
47 VII, 3 | coping or the tiling is an alteration or that in receiving its
48 VII, 3 | alterations nor the subjects of alteration or of becoming or in fact
49 VII, 3 | form, the result of the alteration of certain other things,
50 VII, 3 | is naturally subject to alteration: thus excellence disposes
51 VII, 3 | necessarily the result of an alteration of the sensitive part of
52 VII, 3 | must be the result of the alteration of something else. Consequently,
53 VII, 3 | becoming is accompanied by an alteration, they are not themselves
54 VII, 3 | is not a becoming or an alteration: for the terms "knowing"
55 VII, 3 | brought about through the alteration of something in the body,
56 VII, 3 | preceding argument that alteration and being altered occur
57 VII, 4 | equal time, we may have an alteration and a locomotion equal to
58 VII, 4 | Therefore there cannot be an alteration equal to or less than a
59 VII, 4 | same meaning as applied to alteration and to locomotion.~Or shall
60 VII, 4 | that in a certain time an alteration is undergone by one half
61 VII, 4 | say that in this case the alteration is equal to the locomotion
62 VII, 4 | all? And further, where alteration is in question, how is one
63 VII, 4 | in question, how is one alteration to be of equal velocity
64 VII, 4 | recovery of health being an alteration, we have here alterations
65 VII, 4 | equal velocity, since each alteration occupies an equal time.
66 VII, 4 | an equal time. But what alteration? We cannot here speak of
67 VII, 4 | here speak of an "equal" alteration: what corresponds in the
68 VII, 4 | conclusion that the one alteration is neither more nor less
69 VII, 4 | and there is no unity of alteration any more than there would
70 VII, 4 | many species there are of alteration and of locomotion respectively.
71 VII, 5 | Then does this hold good of alteration and of increase also? Surely
72 VII, 5 | definite thing that causes alteration and a definite thing that
73 VII, 5 | definite thing that undergoes alteration, and a certain amount, or
74 VII, 5 | amount, or rather degree, of alteration is completed in a certain
75 VII, 5 | much time twice as much alteration will be completed and conversely
76 VII, 5 | conversely twice as much alteration will occupy twice as much
77 VII, 5 | twice as much time: and the alteration of half of its object will
78 VII, 5 | hand if that which causes alteration or increase causes a certain
79 VII, 5 | certain amount of increase or alteration respectively in a certain
80 VII, 5 | that in twice the time the alteration or increase will be completed
81 VII, 5 | happen that there will be no alteration or increase at all, the
82 VIII, 1| that which is capable of alteration that is altered, and that
83 VIII, 3| too, in the case of any alteration whatever if that which suffers
84 VIII, 3| whatever if that which suffers alteration is infinitely divisible
85 VIII, 3| the same is true of the alteration itself, which often occurs
86 VIII, 3| assertion. therefore, that alteration is continuous is an extravagant
87 VIII, 3| question of the obvious: for alteration is a change from one contrary
88 VIII, 5| that which is causing this alteration is in process of suffering
89 VIII, 5| that that which is causing alteration is in process of locomotion,
90 VIII, 5| has a capacity for causing alteration should as such necessarily
91 VIII, 5| cause the same locomotion or alteration: thus it would at the same
92 VIII, 7| the previous occurrence of alteration: for that which is increased,
93 VIII, 7| like to like. There must be alteration, then, in that there is
94 VIII, 7| either of increase or of alteration, nor need it become or perish:
95 VIII, 7| becoming it first experiences alteration and increase, and locomotion
96 VIII, 7| I mean increase and then alteration, decrease, and perishing.
97 VIII, 7| and the non-existent, for alteration the various pairs of contrary
98 VIII, 8| becoming of white. Then if the alteration to white and from white
99 VIII, 8| traversed repeatedly; thus in alteration there are the intermediate
100 VIII, 8| they mostly conceive it as alteration (things are always in flux
101 VIII, 8| perishing as a process of alteration. On the other hand, our
102 VIII, 8| motion: consequently neither alteration nor increase admits of continuity.
103 VIII, 9| increase and decrease and alteration, they say, are effects of
