1 I, 1 | argument in which, certain things being laid down, something 2 I, 1 | are generally accepted. Things are "true" and "primary" 3 I, 1 | false figure reasons from things that are neither true and 4 I, 4 | many, and what kind of, things arguments take place, and 5 I, 4 | generally current about these things, and speak of it as a "property". 6 I, 5 | are able to argue that two things are the same or are different, 7 I, 5 | of essence of a number of things exhibiting differences in 8 I, 5 | category of essence all such things as it would be appropriate 9 I, 5 | shall have argued that these things are not in the same genus.~ 10 I, 5 | also all comparisons of things together, when expressed 11 I, 6 | genus, or that any of the things mentioned in the phrase 12 I, 7 | one horse and another: for things like this that fall under 13 I, 7 | Similarly, too, those things are called generically the 14 I, 7 | the same class with the things that in one way or another 15 I, 7 | of species. For all such things seem to be of one family 16 I, 7 | distinguish it from the things that in one way or another 17 I, 10| have made a study of these things, e.g. on a question of medicine 18 I, 11| problems; for there are many things which we do not wish to 19 I, 11| but for the sake of other things, in order that through them 20 I, 11| view of Heraclitus that all things are in motion; or that Being 21 I, 13| 13~The classes, then, of things about which, and of things 22 I, 13| things about which, and of things out of which, arguments 23 I, 13| discovery of the differences of things; (4) the investigation of 24 I, 13| upon the differences of things, the third upon their likenesses.~ 25 I, 14| philosophy we must treat of these things according to their truth, 26 I, 15| through sensation: for of things that are the same in kind 27 I, 15| note. For neither are these things said to be clear or sharp " 28 I, 15| is an ambiguous term; for things that are the same have the 29 I, 16| means. The differences which things present to each other should 30 I, 17| studied, first, in the case of things belonging to different genera, 31 I, 17| We should also look at things which belong to the same 32 I, 18| discovery of the differences of things helps us both in reasonings 33 II, 2 | regard to the genera of things, e.g. if one were to say 34 II, 2 | nothing else, whereas many things besides white are coloured, 35 II, 2 | he does neither of these things, a refusal to assert it 36 II, 2 | should define what kind of things should be called as most 37 II, 2 | our terms to mean the same things as most people mean by them, 38 II, 2 | when we ask what kind of things are or are not of such and 39 II, 3 | e.g. "The science of many things is one": here "many things" 40 II, 3 | things is one": here "many things" may mean the end and the 41 II, 3 | that the science of many things should be the same, it clearly 42 II, 4 | to the genus.~Since those things of which the genus is predicated 43 II, 4 | of them, and since those things that are possessed of the 44 II, 4 | For we are said to know things present and future (e.g. 45 II, 6 | the man who hopes for good things. Likewise also "well-starred" 46 II, 6 | s star is his soul.~Some things occur of necessity, others 47 II, 7 | the class of objectionable things, and likewise also a defect. 48 II, 9 | of courage. Likewise also things that tend to produce and 49 II, 9 | destruction of a thing, and at the things which tend to produce or 50 II, 9 | establishing a view. For those things whose modes of generation 51 II, 9 | generation rank among good things, are themselves also good; 52 II, 9 | destruction rank as good things, then they themselves rank 53 II, 9 | themselves rank as evil things; whereas if the modes of 54 II, 9 | argument applies also to things tending to produce and destroy: 55 II, 9 | produce and destroy: for things whose productive causes 56 II, 10| 10~Again, look at things which are like the subject 57 II, 10| also in the case of other things, both those which are and 58 II, 10| is so with the other like things as well, whereas if it be 59 II, 10| single thing and a number of things: for sometimes there is 60 II, 10| then also to "know many things" is to "be thinking of many 61 II, 10| to "be thinking of many things"; whereas this is not true; 62 II, 10| is possible to know many things but not to be thinking of 63 III, 1 | the better, of two or more things, should be examined upon 64 III, 1 | are making concerns not things that are widely divergent 65 III, 1 | is more desirable), but things that are nearly related 66 III, 1 | any particular class of things; i.e. either whatever most 67 III, 1 | medicine or in carpentry those things are more desirable which 68 III, 1 | most men or all men or all things would choose, e.g. the good: 69 III, 1 | accidens, the cause of good things), and so in other cases 70 III, 1 | better which is inherent in things better or prior or more 71 III, 1 | themselves to the class of things precious and praiseworthy, 72 III, 2 | 2~Moreover, whenever two things are very much like one another, 73 III, 2 | a greater number of good things is more desirable than a 74 III, 2 | a greater number of good things, e.g. the combination of 75 III, 2 | courage. Also, the same things are more valuable if accompanied 76 III, 2 | times. Also, that one of two things which if all possess, we 77 III, 2 | acquisitions and contraries of things: for things whose destruction 78 III, 2 | contraries of things: for things whose destruction is more 79 III, 2 | losses and contraries of things; for a thing whose loss 80 III, 2 | generations or acquisitions of things the opposite is the case: 81 III, 2 | opposite is the case: for things whose acquisition or generation 82 III, 2 | Again, in the case of two things, if one is more like the 83 III, 2 | better the possession of things that cannot be easily acquired. 84 III, 2 | qualification.~Moreover, things which our friends can share 85 III, 2 | those they cannot. Also, things which we like rather to 86 III, 2 | without power. Also, if of two things we repudiate the one in 87 III, 3 | 3~Moreover, of things that belong to the same 88 III, 3 | just as also what makes things warm is warmer than what 89 III, 3 | the body.~Moreover, judge things by their inflexions and 90 III, 3 | Nay more, if there be two things both preferable to something, 91 III, 3 | the case of, one of the things added to it, but not the 92 III, 3 | characters belong to both things you should look and see 93 III, 3 | the case of objectionable things; for that is more objectionable 94 III, 4 | 4~Comparisons of things together should therefore 95 III, 4 | also, in the case of other things which admit of comparisons 96 III, 4 | course of comparing the things together we at once assert 97 III, 5 | a greater degree. Also, things exhibit such and such a 98 III, 6 | same also as regards the things that destroy, and the processes 99 IV, 1 | does not exist; for many things which do not exist are objects 100 IV, 1 | it does so apply. For all things that are not specifically 101 IV, 2 | whether neither of these things is true of the genus rendered; 102 IV, 2 | walking.~Again, look among the things of which the given species 103 IV, 2 | category of essence of the very things of which the species is 104 IV, 2 | category of essence of those things of which the species too 105 IV, 2 | fusion" (for to mix dry things does not fuse them), nor 106 IV, 2 | carriage" is mostly used of things that change one place for 107 IV, 2 | in the case of inanimate things. Clearly, also, the species, 108 IV, 3 | time partake of contrary things, seeing that the genus is 109 IV, 3 | whereas if any of these things be not so, then neither 110 IV, 4 | Again, consider the case of things that bear a like relation 111 IV, 4 | the same way the case of things that generate or destroy, 112 IV, 4 | the capacities and uses of things; and in general, both in 113 IV, 4 | argument, you should examine things in the light of any resemblance 114 IV, 4 | the capacities and uses of things: for if a capacity be a 115 IV, 4 | should be pleasant: for of things of which the genus is not 116 IV, 4 | relation to an equal number of things: for the general view is 117 IV, 4 | relation to an equal number of things with the species. Or possibly 118 IV, 4 | relation to an equal number of things.~See, also, if the opposite 119 IV, 4 | found in, or used of, the things in relation to which they 120 IV, 4 | possibly be found except in the things in relation to which they 121 IV, 4 | need not be found in the things in relation to which they 122 IV, 4 | they should be found in the things in relation to which they 123 IV, 5 | conviction". For both of the things in question follow in a 124 IV, 5 | are capable of doing bad things, but that is not their character: 125 IV, 5 | capacities for doing bad things are desirable, and therefore 126 IV, 5 | one of them only. For some things it is impossible to place 127 IV, 5 | as genera, then inanimate things will be convinced and astonished. 128 IV, 5 | Whereas neither of these things is generally believed, any 129 IV, 5 | kind, not about all those things of which the genus is not 130 IV, 6 | therefore, is that of all things of which the genus is predicated, 131 IV, 6 | category of essence of those things of which it has been rendered 132 V, 1 | attributes to each of two things, and deny it in each case 133 V, 1 | discuss in relation to many things, or can observe in relation 134 V, 1 | in comparison with many things: for the property ought 135 V, 2 | of this" signifies many things for it means (1) the possession 136 V, 2 | distinguish its subject from other things is useless, and it is the 137 V, 3 | distinguish its subject from other things. Hence a property which 138 V, 4 | property of a number of things that are specifically different. 139 V, 4 | be predicated only of the things of which it has been stated 140 V, 4 | fails to be a property of things that are the same as the 141 V, 4 | or not belong to the same things, in so far as they are the 142 V, 4 | see if the property of things that are the same in kind 143 V, 4 | the other hand, see if of things that are the same in kind 144 V, 5 | Moreover, as regards all the things that are called as they 145 V, 5 | render the property of such things. For if you render a property 146 V, 5 | define how as well as to what things the property is stated to 147 V, 5 | belongs to "animal" (for other things as well have sensation, 148 V, 5 | belong to certain other things as well. For if he renders 149 V, 5 | of, it will belong to the things which partake of it; whereas 150 V, 5 | else, it will belong to the things partaken of, as (e.g.) if 151 V, 5 | belong only to one of the things that fall under the term 152 V, 5 | make a mistake. For the things in question should all be 153 V, 5 | living-creature".~Next, in the case of things consisting of like parts, 154 V, 5 | property in the case of things that consist of like parts 155 V, 5 | it is true of each of the things with similar parts, it is 156 V, 7 | from the point of view of things that are in a like relation, 157 V, 7 | from the point of view of things that are identically related, 158 V, 8 | no use.~The rule based on things that are in a like relation’ 159 VI, 2 | does not apply to all the things whose definition he has 160 VI, 2 | measure" or "image" of the things that are by nature just. 161 VI, 3 | to divide the object from things in general, and the differentia 162 VI, 3 | differentia from any of the things contained in the same genus. 163 VI, 3 | that belongs to all the things that fall under the same 164 VI, 3 | separate it off from the things contained in the same genus. 165 VI, 3 | attribute belonging to all things universally. For in that 166 VI, 4 | term stated, and we make things known by taking not any 167 VI, 4 | point; for most people learn things like the former earlier 168 VI, 4 | persons who cannot recognize things through terms of that kind, 169 VI, 4 | these belong to the order of things which are absolutely more 170 VI, 4 | as it happens, different things are more intelligible to 171 VI, 4 | different people, not the same things to all; and so a different 172 VI, 4 | the same people different things are more intelligible at 173 VI, 4 | possible to define some things in any other way, e.g. the 174 VI, 5 | used in relation to many things, he has failed to render 175 VI, 5 | who mentions both these things, since it is impossible 176 VI, 5 | corresponds to the actual state of things: in some it does not, e.g. 177 VI, 5 | essentially in relation to both things: as medicine is said to 178 VI, 5 | relative to both of these things has not defined it any better 179 VI, 5 | used in relation to several things, see if he has rendered 180 VI, 5 | transgresses the genera of the things he defines, defining, e.g. 181 VI, 6 | the species, or any of the things which are under the species, 182 VI, 6 | subject to alteration: for all things of that kind, if intensified, 183 VI, 6 | conjoined: for then inanimate things will be in pain, since pain 184 VI, 6 | attribute inherent in those things of which it is the balance, 185 VI, 7 | thing.~Moreover, suppose two things to be before you, see if 186 VI, 7 | definition relative to two things taken separately: thus, 187 VI, 7 | beautiful": for of identical things the opposites, too, are 188 VI, 9 | then, neither of these things to be the contrary of the 189 VI, 9 | unequal" merely describes things that are not equal’), it 190 VI, 9 | for the definition of things that are contrary in this 191 VI, 9 | do not talk of inanimate things or of children as "erring". " 192 VI, 10| man that though in some things one must not use the language 193 VI, 12| among too large a number of things, are wrong either wholly 194 VI, 12| thing but to a number of things. For there is no reason 195 VI, 12| something else is one of the things desirable for something 196 VI, 13| as in a house and other things of that sort: for there, 197 VI, 13| cannot in the nature of things have a single product: for 198 VI, 13| single product: for some things are so related to one another 199 VI, 13| defined is in the nature of things found primarily in some 200 VI, 13| single subject, whereas the things which he has said produce 201 VI, 13| be the product of these things: for the whole is bound 202 VI, 13| bound to be in the same things wherein its parts are, so 203 VI, 13| something good or bad, or for things good or bad to produce a 204 VI, 13| itself good or bad; for many things that are productive are 205 VI, 13| illustrated in the case of things that make for health or 206 VI, 13| same as either of these two things, the same criticisms will 207 VI, 14| the "composition" of these things (e.g. "a living creature" 208 VI, 14| of composition: for these things do not form flesh irrespective 209 VII, 1 | 1~WHETHER two things are "the same" or "different", 210 VII, 1 | their opposites: for if two things be the same, their opposites 211 VII, 1 | examined in the light of those things which tend to produce or 212 VII, 1 | produce or to destroy the things in question of their formation 213 VII, 1 | manner to each. For where things are absolutely the same, 214 VII, 1 | the same, and so are the things that tend to produce or 215 VII, 1 | a case where one of two things is said to be something 216 VII, 1 | these alleged identical things can also be described by 217 VII, 1 | Each, however, of the two things termed "greatest" or most 218 VII, 1 | their accidents or of the things of which they are accidents: 219 VII, 1 | of each term, and in the things of which they are predicated. 220 VII, 1 | many senses, see whether things that are the same in one 221 VII, 1 | even no possibility that things that are the same specifically 222 VII, 3 | within the same genus: of things whose genera are themselves 223 VII, 3 | from the point of view of things that stand in relations 224 VII, 3 | good." For each of these things is related in like manner 225 VII, 3 | definition is compared with two things, or two definitions with 226 VII, 3 | be one definition of two things or two of the same thing.~ 227 VII, 5 | definition; for if any other things as well are predicated of 228 VII, 5 | untrue of any one of the things embraced under the term.~ 229 VII, 5 | predicated of every one of the things of which the term is predicated, 230 VII, 5 | the term is predicated of things of which the expression 231 VII, 5 | though, just as in other things to destroy is easier than 232 VII, 5 | than in a small number of things. Moreover, the other rules 233 VII, 5 | it is the easiest of all things to demolish a definition, 234 VII, 5 | because of the number of things that people must be brought 235 VIII, 1 | cautious about upsetting such things because they themselves 236 VIII, 1 | the argument and insert things that it does not require 237 VIII, 1 | induction and distinction of things closely akin. What sort 238 VIII, 1 | relevant and drawn from things that we know, as in Homer 239 VIII, 2 | one of the very hardest things to distinguish which of 240 VIII, 2 | distinguish which of the things adduced are "of this sort", 241 VIII, 2 | asserting the likeness of things that are not alike, and 242 VIII, 2 | disputing the likeness of things that are. One ought, therefore, 243 VIII, 2 | coin a word to cover all things of the given sort, so as 244 VIII, 2 | like description, for many things appear to answer to like 245 VIII, 3 | argument. Such (e.g.) are those things which stand first and those 246 VIII, 3 | or other of the aforesaid things has happened to it. Whenever, 247 VIII, 5 | that of those who discuss things together in the spirit of 248 VIII, 5 | aim at, and what kind of things he should and should not 249 VIII, 6 | hence, when men ask these things, they ought not to be granted.~ 250 VIII, 7 | which may mean different things. Clearly, then, in the first 251 VIII, 11| questions, are two different things. For often the failure to 252 VIII, 11| the admission of contrary things, and when they are claiming 253 VIII, 11| themselves they say contrary things, and admit afterwards what 254 VIII, 11| questioned, to contrary things and to what originally had 255 VIII, 11| result of the nature of things that some subjects of inquiry 256 VIII, 12| kind does demonstrate other things that are true: for one of 257 VIII, 13| along with a number of other things, that which he ought to 258 VIII, 13| together with a number of other things, he ought to have shown. 259 VIII, 14| trained memory, a memory of things themselves is immediately 260 VIII, 14| proposition is to form a number of things into one-for the conclusion
