6 I, 2 | take for granted that the things that exist by nature are,
7 I, 2 | is it asserted that all things are one? For "is" is used
8 I, 2 | senses. Do they mean that all things "are" substance or quantities
9 I, 2 | qualities? And, further, are all things one substance-one man, one
10 I, 2 | it is asserted that all things are quality or quantity,
11 I, 2 | indivisible is one, or (c) things are said to be "one", when
12 I, 2 | limited is not.~But if (c) all things are one in the sense of
13 I, 2 | view will be, not that all things are one, but that they are
14 I, 3 | seems impossible for all things to be one. Further, the

22 I, 4 | they use the phrase "all things were together" and the coming
23 I, 4 | necessarily followed, namely that things come into being out of existent
24 I, 4 | into being out of existent things, i.e. out of things already
25 I, 4 | existent things, i.e. out of things already present, but imperceptible
26 I, 4 | arising out of everything. But things, as they say, appear different
27 I, 4 | it is impossible to know things which are composed of them;
28 I, 4 | according to the theory all such things are already present in one

35 I, 7 | of simple and of complex things. I mean the following. We
36 I, 7 | regards one of these simple "things that become" we say not
37 I, 7 | plants from seed.~Generally things which come to be, come to

39 I, 7 | house; (5) by alteration, as things which "turn" in respect

41 I, 8 | they say that none of the things that are either comes to

45 II, 1 | 1~Of things that exist, some exist by
46 II, 1 | exist "by nature".~All the things mentioned present a feature
47 II, 1 | in which they differ from things which are not constituted

49 II, 1 | is what has been stated. Things "have a nature" which have
50 II, 1 | is applied to all these things and also to the attributes
51 II, 1 | obvious that there are many things of this kind, and to prove
52 II, 1 | to be the nature of the things that are. For whatever any

58 II, 2 | snubness. That is, such things are neither independent
59 II, 2 | physicist is concerned only with things whose forms are separable
60 II, 3 | towards health. All these things are "for the sake of" the
61 II, 3 | whence the motion comes. Some things cause each other reciprocally,
62 II, 3 | best and the end of the things that lead up to it. (Whether
63 II, 3 | distinctions can be made in the things of which the causes are
64 II, 3 | precise (as also in other things): thus man builds because
65 II, 3 | actually operating causes to things which are actually being
66 II, 4 | reckoned among causes: many things are said both to be and
67 II, 4 | that is surprising. Many things both come to be and are
68 II, 4 | they speak of some of these things as happening by chance and
69 II, 4 | the divinest of visible things arose spontaneously, having
70 II, 4 | happening by chance among the things which as they say are not
71 II, 5 | then we observe that some things always come to pass in the
72 II, 5 | identified with any of the things that come to pass by necessity
73 II, 5 | spontaneity; for we know that things of this kind are due to
74 II, 5 | are due to chance and that things due to chance are of this
75 II, 5 | both are in the class of things which are for the sake of
76 II, 5 | clear that even among the things which are outside the necessary
77 II, 5 | of thought or of nature.) Things of this kind, then, when
78 II, 5 | both are in the sphere of things done for the sake of something.)~
79 II, 5 | belongs to the class of things that are intentional and
80 II, 5 | they are well grounded. Things do, in a way, occur by chance,
81 II, 5 | unstable, as none of the things which result from it can
82 II, 5 | spontaneity-in the sphere of things which are capable of coming
83 II, 6 | trodden under foot. Even these things, however, can in a way be
84 II, 6 | to the general class of things that may come to pass for
85 II, 6 | by chance is greatest in things that come to be by nature;
86 II, 6 | of this All and of many things in it besides.~
87 II, 7 | the same as that of the things comprehended under the question "
88 II, 7 | ultimately either (1), in things which do not involve motion,
89 II, 7 | or (4), in the case of things that come into being, we
90 II, 7 | too, in general, are all things which cause movement by
91 II, 7 | branches of study, one of things which are incapable of motion,
92 II, 7 | of motion, the second of things in motion, but indestructible,
93 II, 7 | the third of destructible things.~The question "why", then,
94 II, 8 | for all writers ascribe things to this cause, arguing that
95 II, 8 | kind, therefore certain things necessarily are and come
96 II, 8 | come be for an end, such things survived, being organized
97 II, 8 | teeth and all other natural things either invariably or normally
98 II, 8 | then, it is agreed that things are either the result of
99 II, 8 | for an end; and that such things are all due to nature even
100 II, 8 | for an end is present in things which come to be and are
101 II, 8 | therefore the nature of things also is so. Thus if a house,
102 II, 8 | it is now by art; and if things made by nature were made
103 II, 8 | other than man: they make things neither by art nor after
104 II, 8 | of cause is operative in things which come to be and are
105 II, 8 | since "nature" means two things, the matter and the form,
106 II, 8 | been, if there were such things among animals.~Moreover,
107 II, 8 | exists "by nature". For those things are natural which, by a
108 II, 9 | sheltering and guarding certain things. Similarly in all other
109 II, 9 | Similarly in all other things which involve production
110 II, 9 | cannot come to be without things which have a necessary nature,
111 II, 9 | similar to necessity in things which come to be through
112 II, 9 | what it is either. But in things which come to be for an
113 II, 9 | be a house, such-and-such things must be made or be there
114 II, 9 | such-and-such a kind, certain things must necessarily come to
115 II, 9 | since health is this, these things must necessarily come to
116 III, 1 | to belong to the class of things which are continuous; and
117 III, 1 | motion over and above the things. It is always with respect
118 III, 1 | something over and above the things mentioned, for there is
119 III, 1 | cold. Hence at once such things will act and be acted on
120 III, 2 | or "not being"; but such things are not necessarily moved,
121 III, 3 | identical actualization of two things which are different in kind.
122 III, 3 | is nothing to prevent two things having one and the same
123 III, 3 | explained above. For it is not things which are in a way the same
124 III, 3 | one distance between two things which are at a distance
125 III, 4 | or finite, even if some things dealt with by the science
126 III, 4 | necessary perhaps that such things should be put under either
127 III, 4 | make it a principle of things.~(1) Some, as the Pythagoreans
128 III, 4 | in by the odd, provides things with the element of infinity.
129 III, 4 | that once upon a time all things were together. (This flesh
130 III, 4 | any thing: therefore all things: and at the same time too.)
131 III, 4 | is a coming to be of all things, though not, it is true,
132 III, 4 | starting-point. So necessarily all things must have been together
133 III, 4 | body is a source of all things, differing from part to
134 III, 4 | be the principle of other things, and to encompass all and
135 III, 4 | because that from which things come to be is infinite.~(
136 III, 4 | for in the case of eternal things what may be must be. But
137 III, 4 | which is infinite or some things which are infinitely many?~
138 III, 5 | mathematical objects and things which are intelligible and
139 III, 5 | says that at some time all things become fire. (The same argument
140 III, 6 | existence. For of these things too the distinction between
141 III, 6 | or the games as existing things whose being has not come
142 III, 6 | infinite-its containing all things and holding the all in itself-from
143 III, 6 | in the case of sensible things, in the case of intelligible
144 III, 6 | the case of intelligible things the great and the small
145 III, 8 | attribute of some one of the things which are limited. On the
146 III, 8 | possible between any two things taken at random.~(3) To
147 IV, 1 | because all suppose that things which exist are somewhere (
148 IV, 1 | least he says:~"First of all things came chaos to being, then
149 IV, 1 | broad-breasted earth," implying that things need to have space first,
150 IV, 1 | precedence of all other things. For that without which
151 IV, 1 | out of existence when the things in it are annihilated.~True,
152 IV, 1 | Also we may ask: of what in things is space the cause? None
153 IV, 1 | the form and definition of things, nor as end, nor does it
154 IV, 1 | shall we say about growing things? It follows from these premisses
155 IV, 2 | indeed it is one of these two things, matter or form. They demand
156 IV, 2 | must be looked for among things which have these characteristics.~
157 IV, 3 | impossible. For each of two things will have to be both, e.g.
158 IV, 3 | even incidentally: for two things would at the same time in
159 IV, 4 | for the extremities of things which touch are coincident.~
160 IV, 4 | is. There are just four things of which place must be one-the
161 IV, 5 | place of its parts. (Some things are moved, not up and down,
162 IV, 5 | others up and down, such things namely as admit of condensation
163 IV, 5 | As was explained, some things are potentially in place,
164 IV, 5 | in place.~Again, (1) some things are per se in place, namely
165 IV, 5 | the next.~But (2) other things are in place indirectly,
166 IV, 5 | and for this reason all things are in the heaven; for the
167 IV, 6 | but void is not among the things that exist.~This argument,
168 IV, 6 | from the fact that some things are observed to contract
169 IV, 6 | distinguishes the natures of things, as if it were like what
170 IV, 7 | is not separable from the things, but they are inquiring
171 IV, 7 | the rotation of continuous things, as in that of liquids.~
172 IV, 7 | in that of liquids.~And things can also be compressed not
173 IV, 7 | it is squeezed out); and things can increase in size not
174 IV, 8 | something separate, into which things are carried; viz. how will
175 IV, 8 | place.~And in what way will things be present either in place-or
176 IV, 8 | rest, so, too, in the void things must be at rest; for there
177 IV, 8 | there is no place to which things can move more or less than
178 IV, 8 | differentiated, so that the things that exist by nature must
179 IV, 8 | Further, in point of fact things that are thrown move though
180 IV, 8 | in a void none of these things can take place, nor can
181 IV, 8 | get in its way.~Further, things are now thought to move
182 IV, 8 | equally everywhere, so that things should move in all directions.~
183 IV, 8 | earth, or because, other things being equal, the moving
184 IV, 8 | if there can be two such things, why cannot there be any
185 IV, 8 | clear by the study of moving things what sort of thing void
186 IV, 9 | exist, they say, neither can things contract and be compressed.
187 IV, 9 | in that the void carries things up as skins by being carried
188 IV, 9 | showed that in the void all things are incapable of moving
189 IV, 10 | it belong to the class of things that exist or to that of
190 IV, 10 | that exist or to that of things that do not exist? Then
191 IV, 10 | that what is made up of things which do not exist could
192 IV, 10 | are in this same "now", things which happened ten thousand
193 IV, 10 | on the ground that all things are in time and all things
194 IV, 10 | things are in time and all things are in the sphere of the
195 IV, 10 | everywhere and with all things.~Again, (b) change is always
196 IV, 12 | count, but the number of things which are counted, and this
197 IV, 12 | men is the same, but the things numbered are different-the
198 IV, 12 | the same meaning for other things also, namely, that their
199 IV, 12 | be in time" is one of two things: (1) to exist when time
200 IV, 12 | exists, (2) as we say of some things that they are "in number".
201 IV, 12 | belongs to number-or that things have a number.~Now, since
202 IV, 12 | the other to time. But things are in time as they are
203 IV, 12 | are contained by time as things in place are contained by
204 IV, 12 | is to mean this, then all things will be in anything, and
205 IV, 12 | is necessary that all the things in time should be contained
206 IV, 12 | by time, just like other things also which are "in anything",
207 IV, 12 | in anything", e.g. the things "in place" by place.~A thing,
208 IV, 12 | to say that time wastes things away, and that all things
209 IV, 12 | things away, and that all things grow old through time, and
210 IV, 12 | what is.~Hence, plainly, things which are always are not,
211 IV, 12 | quantity. Thus none of the things which are neither moved
212 IV, 12 | i.e. those non-existent things that cannot exist, as the
213 IV, 12 | and indirectly of other things, it is clear that a thing
214 IV, 12 | in rest or motion. Those things therefore which are subject
215 IV, 12 | measures their existence. Of things which do not exist but are
216 IV, 12 | of existence. As to such things as it does not contain in
217 IV, 12 | not be, and it is of such things that there is coming to
218 IV, 13 | he came to-day. But the things in the Iliad have not happened "
219 IV, 13 | nature of all change to alter things from their former condition.
220 IV, 13 | former condition. In time all things come into being and pass
221 IV, 13 | called it the wisest of all things, but the Pythagorean Paron
222 IV, 13 | change, in itself, makes things depart from their former
223 IV, 14 | case of locomotion, if both things move along the circumference
224 IV, 14 | movement) and all these things are movable (for they are
225 IV, 14 | not say "of any kind"? For things both come into being in
226 IV, 14 | particular kind of it.~But other things as well may have been moved
227 IV, 14 | is a circle in all other things that have a natural movement
228 IV, 14 | This is because all other things are discriminated by time,
229 IV, 14 | So that to say that the things that come into being form
230 IV, 14 | are both triangles. For things are called the same so-and-so
231 IV, 14 | the same decad; for the things of which it is asserted
232 V, 1 | instance, we may take the three things "wood", "hot", and "cold",
233 V, 1 | but only in contraries, in things intermediate contraries,
234 V, 2 | Substance has no contrary among things that are. Nor is there motion
235 V, 2 | locomotion" is applicable to things that change their place
236 V, 2 | come to a stand, and to things that do not move themselves
237 V, 3 | is naturally applicable.~Things are said to be together
238 V, 3 | are in different places.~Things are said to be in contact
239 V, 3 | presence of at least three things: for in a process of change
240 V, 3 | the time does not prevent things having a "between", while,
241 V, 3 | subdivision of the contiguous: things are called continuous when
242 V, 3 | that continuity belongs to things that naturally in virtue
243 V, 3 | succession is a property of things prior in definition, e.g.
244 V, 3 | for the extremities of things may be "together" without
245 V, 3 | be naturally joined: but things that are in contact are
246 V, 4 | There are three classes of things in connexion with which
247 V, 4 | although (as is clear) the things that contain them are obviously
248 V, 4 | there is between any two things chosen at random in any
249 V, 4 | the extremities of the two things are one. Now some things
250 V, 4 | things are one. Now some things have no extremities at all:
251 V, 4 | when the ends of the two things are one. Hence motions may
252 V, 6 | to rest in health.~Of all things that have no contraries
253 V, 6 | motion. So, too, of such things there is no remaining though
254 V, 6 | state of rest. Further, some things have a natural and an unnatural
255 VI, 1 | understood as defined above things being "continuous" if their
256 VI, 1 | or time of moments: for things are in succession if there
257 VI, 1 | thing is divisible into things without parts. Nor can there
258 VI, 1 | since the extremities of things that are continuous with
259 VI, 2 | that the quicker of two things traverses a greater magnitude
260 VI, 2 | than B. Now since of two things that which changes sooner
261 VI, 2 | in contact with infinite things in a finite time. For there
262 VI, 2 | cannot come in contact with things quantitatively infinite,
263 VI, 2 | can come in contact with things infinite in respect of divisibility:
264 VI, 3 | continuous can be composed of things having no parts: and if
265 VI, 4 | cannot be the motion of more things than one): since this is
266 VI, 4 | continuous must be the motion of things that are continuous. And
267 VI, 5 | taken to be indivisible, two things without parts will have
268 VI, 6 | if GD is indivisible, two things without parts will be consecutive.
269 VI, 6 | reason of this is that no two things without parts can be contiguous,
270 VI, 6 | that they are continuous things: and so a thing cannot be
271 VI, 7 | which will be a measure of things finite in multitude or in
272 VI, 8 | which we used above about things in motion.~And just as there
273 VI, 9 | on the ground that such things in motion, themselves and
274 VII, 1 | since the movents and the things moved are infinite, the
275 VII, 1 | no impossibility in many things being in motion simultaneously.
276 VII, 1 | that which moves it, the things moved and the movents must
277 VII, 1 | for in any case since the things in motion are infinite in
278 VII, 2 | something else. In the case of things that are moved by themselves
279 VII, 2 | in between. The motion of things that are moved by something
280 VII, 2 | from one another the two things that are continuous: for
281 VII, 2 | For our assumption is that things that are undergoing alteration
282 VII, 2 | and further, where animate things are in question, we make
283 VII, 2 | alteration is caused by sensible things, in every case of such alteration
284 VII, 2 | the same in the case of things that are inanimate and incapable
285 VII, 2 | respectively: and if two things are continuous with one
286 VII, 3 | there is alteration only in things that are said to be essentially
287 VII, 3 | essentially affected by sensible things. The truth of this is to
288 VII, 3 | considerations. Of all other things it would be most natural
289 VII, 3 | of these two classes of things is there alteration.~In
290 VII, 3 | nevertheless it is not the things that are coming into existence
291 VII, 3 | defects and of the persons or things that possess or acquire
292 VII, 3 | alteration of certain other things, e.g. hot and cold or dry
293 VII, 3 | involves a relation with those things from which the possessor
294 VII, 3 | be produced by sensible things: and since the presence
295 VII, 3 | performance of others other things do so: but in either case
296 VII, 3 | altered occur in sensible things and in the sensitive part
297 VII, 4 | commensurable and if two things to have the same velocity
298 VII, 4 | motion is accomplished by two things in an equal time that the
299 VII, 4 | either.~But may we say that things are always commensurable
300 VII, 4 | the first place deny that things are always commensurable
301 VII, 4 | Otherwise why is it that some things are commensurable while
302 VII, 4 | incommensurability of two things in respect of any attribute
303 VII, 4 | we then say that, if two things are to be commensurable
304 VII, 4 | the case of motion: two things are of the same velocity
305 VII, 4 | this we must say that two things are of equal velocity if
306 VII, 4 | may say, therefore, that things are of equal velocity in
307 VII, 4 | respectively. Now if the things that are in motion-that
308 VII, 4 | motion-that is to say, the things to which the motions belong
309 VII, 4 | the affections, or in the things altered, to see e.g. whether
310 VII, 4 | unequal according as the things altered are equal or unequal.~
311 VII, 4 | time there are produced two things that are the same and specifically
312 VIII, 1 | never-failing property of things that are, a sort of life
313 VIII, 1 | all naturally constituted things?~Now the existence of motion
314 VIII, 1 | Anaxagoras, who says that all things were together and at rest
315 VIII, 1 | involves the presence of the things that are capable of that
316 VIII, 1 | burning. Moreover, these things also must either have a
317 VIII, 1 | the other hand, that these things were in being throughout
318 VIII, 1 | there are on the one hand things that are movable, and on
319 VIII, 1 | movable, and on the other hand things that are motive, there is
320 VIII, 1 | previous change. For some things cause motion in only one
321 VIII, 1 | way. But at any rate all things that are capable respectively
322 VIII, 1 | Democritus to show that all things cannot have had a becoming:
323 VIII, 1 | cases where such a state of things exists, as he points to
324 VIII, 1 | nature to the fact that things happened in the past in
325 VIII, 2 | in motion; e.g. inanimate things that are (whether the whole
326 VIII, 2 | which it had no being, these things ought to be either always
327 VIII, 2 | in the case of inanimate things, which are always set in
328 VIII, 2 | this-why is it that some things are not always at rest,
329 VIII, 2 | alleges that motion arises in things in which it did not exist
330 VIII, 2 | proof the case of animate things: thus an animal is first
331 VIII, 3 | can be the reason why some things in the world at one time
332 VIII, 3 | again? Now one of three things must be true: either all
333 VIII, 3 | must be true: either all things are always at rest, or all
334 VIII, 3 | are always at rest, or all things are always in motion, or
335 VIII, 3 | always in motion, or some things are in motion and others
336 VIII, 3 | last case again either the things that are in motion are always
337 VIII, 3 | always in motion and the things that are at rest are always
338 VIII, 3 | remaining-it may be that some things in the world are always
339 VIII, 3 | engaged.~To maintain that all things are at rest, and to disregard
340 VIII, 3 | The assertion that all things are in motion we may fairly
341 VIII, 3 | some that not merely some things but all things in the world
342 VIII, 3 | merely some things but all things in the world are in motion
343 VIII, 3 | respect of place also all things cannot be in motion. These
344 VIII, 3 | impossible either that all things are always in motion or
345 VIII, 3 | always in motion or that all things are always at rest.~Nor
346 VIII, 3 | again can it be that some things are always at rest, others
347 VIII, 3 | in the case of the same things. We may further point out
348 VIII, 3 | take the assertion that all things are sometimes at rest and
