e movement of many things.
Book V Chapter 2
‘Cause’ means (1) that from which, as immanent material, a thing comes into being, e.g. the bronze is the cause of the statue and the silver of the saucer,NHL Mens New York Rangers Heritage Pullover Hoodie - Ash, and so are the classes which include these. (2) The form or pattern,Dalton Prout Tröjor, i.e. the definition of the essence, and the classes which include this (e.g. the ratio 2:1 and number in general are causes of the octave), and the parts included in the definition. (3) That from which the change or the resting from change first begins; e.g. the adviser is a cause of the action, and the father a cause of the child, and in general the maker a cause of the thing made and the change-producing of the changing. (4) The end,Ralph Lauren Short Sleeve Polo, i.e. that for the sake of which a thing is; e.g. health is the cause of walking. For ‘Why does one walk?’ we say; ‘that one may be healthy’; and in speaking thus we think we have given the cause. The same is true of all the means that intervene before the end, when something else has put the process in motion, as e.g. thinning or purging or drugs or instruments intervene before health is reached; for all these are for the sake of the end, though they differ from one another in that some are instruments and others are actions.
These, then, are practically all the senses in which causes are spoken of, and as they are spoken of in several senses it follows both that there are several causes of the same thing, and in no accidental sense (e.g. both the art of sculpture and the bronze are causes of the statue not in respect of anything else but qua statue; not, however, in the same way, but the one as matter and the other as source of the movement),Paul Stastny Tröjor, and that things can be causes of one another (e.g. exercise of good condition,Jordan Eberle Tröjor, and the latter of exercise; not, however, in the same way, but the one as end and the other as source of movement).-Again,Teddy Purcell Tröjor, the same thing is the cause of contraries; for that which when present causes a particular thing,NHL Mens Florida Panthers Black Rink Warrior Pullover Hoodie, we sometimes charge, when absent, with the contrary,PJS Dameklær Gobi Dunjakker, e.g. we impute the shipwreck to the absence of the steersman, whose presence was the cause of safety; and both-the presence and the privation-are causes as sources of movement.
All the causes now mentioned fall under four senses which are the most obvious. For the letters are the cause of syllables,Bobby Clarke Tröjor, and the material is the cause of manufactured things, and fire and earth and all such things are the causes of bodies,Logan Brown Tröjor, and the parts are causes of the whole, and the hypotheses are causes of the conclusion, in the sense that they are that out of which these respectively are made; but of these some are cause as the substratum (e.g. the parts), others as the essence (the whole, the synthesis,Jason Spezza Tröjor, and the form). The semen,CG Menn Langford Parka, the physician, the adviser, and in general the agent, are all sources of change or of rest. The remainder are causes as the end and the good of the other things; for that for the sake of which other things are tends to be the best and the end of the other things; let us take it as making no difference whether
