animal is soul in a body’ or ‘a soul’; for soul is the substance or actuality of some body. ‘Animal’ might even be applied to both, not as something definable by one formula, but as related to a single thing. But this question, while important for another purpose, is of no importance for the inquiry into sensible substance; for the essence certainly attaches to the form and the actuality. For ‘soul’ and ‘to be soul’ are the same, but ‘to be man’ and ‘man’ are not the same, unless even the bare soul is to be called man; and thus on one interpretation the thing is the same as its essence,iBeats, and on another it is not.
If we examine we find that the syllable does not consist of the letters + juxtaposition, nor is the house bricks + juxtaposition. And this is right; for the juxtaposition or mixing does not consist of those things of which it is the juxtaposition or mixing. And the same is true in all other cases; e.g. if the threshold is characterized by its position, the position is not constituted by the threshold, but rather the latter is constituted by the former. Nor is man animal + biped,Ralph Lauren Tillbehör, but there must be something besides these,The North Face Lapset untuvatakki Suomi, if these are matter,Chicago Blackhawks Drakter,-something which is neither an element in the whole nor a compound, but is the substance; but this people eliminate, and state only the matter. If, then,Wales Landslagsdrakt, this is the cause of the thing’s being, and if the cause of its being is its substance, they will not be stating the substance itself.
(This, then, must either be eternal or it must be destructible without being ever in course of being destroyed, and must have come to be without ever being in course of coming to be. But it has been proved and explained elsewhere that no one makes or begets the form, but it is the individual that is made,Baltimore Ravens Barn, i.e. the complex of form and matter that is generated. Whether the substances of destructible things can exist apart, is not yet at all clear; except that obviously this is impossible in some cases-in the case of things which cannot exist apart from the individual instances,Parajumpers Featherweight Hermann, e.g. house or utensil. Perhaps, indeed, neither these things themselves, nor any of the other things which are not formed by nature,The North Face Miehet kengät korkea Suomi, are substances at all; for one might say that the nature in natural objects is the only substance to be found in destructible things.)
Therefore the difficulty which used to be raised by the school of Antisthenes and other such uneducated people has a certain timeliness. They said that the ‘what’ cannot be defined (for the definition so called is a ‘long rigmarole’) but of what sort a thing,Nike Air Max 90 Yeezy 2, e.g. silver, is, they thought it possible actually to explain, not saying what it is, but that it is like tin. Therefore one kind of substance can be defined and formulated, i.e. the composite kind, whether it be perceptible or intelligible; but the primary parts of which this consists cannot be defined, since a definitory formula predicates something of something, and one part of the definition must play the part of matter and the other that of form.
