‘animal’ is not sound; for it leads away from the truth, and makes one suppose that man can possibly exist without his parts, as the circle can without the bronze. But the case is not similar; for an animal is something perceptible, and it is not possible to define it without reference to movement-nor, therefore, without reference to the parts’ being in a certain state. For it is not a hand in any and every state that is a part of man, but only when it can fulfil its work, and therefore only when it is alive; if it is not alive it is not a part.
Regarding the objects of mathematics,Ravens Drakt, why are the formulae of the parts not parts of the formulae of the wholes; e.g. why are not the semicircles included in the formula of the circle? It cannot be said, ‘because these parts are perceptible things’; for they are not. But perhaps this makes no difference; for even some things which are not perceptible must have matter; indeed there is some matter in everything which is not an essence and a bare form but a ‘this’. The semicircles, then, will not be parts of the universal circle, but will be parts of the individual circles, as has been said before; for while one kind of matter is perceptible, there is another which is intelligible.
It is clear also that the soul is the primary substance and the body is matter, and man or animal is the compound of both taken universally; and ‘Socrates’ or ‘Coriscus’, if even the soul of Socrates may be called Socrates,Belstaff Triumph Bunda, has two meanings (for some mean by such a term the soul,Japan Drakt, and others mean the concrete thing),Parajumpers Damen Light Long Bear Jacken Schweiz, but if ‘Socrates’ or ‘Coriscus’ means simply this particular soul and this particular body,Parajumpers Damen Long Bear Jacken Schweiz, the individual is analogous to the universal in its composition.
Whether there is, apart from the matter of such substances, another kind of matter,Neymar Jr Drakt, and one should look for some substance other than these,Olympique Lyon Drakt, e.g. numbers or something of the sort, must be considered later. For it is for the sake of this that we are trying to determine the nature of perceptible substances as well, since in a sense the inquiry about perceptible substances is the work of physics, i.e. of second philosophy; for the physicist must come to know not only about the matter, but also about the substance expressed in the formula, and even more than about the other. And in the case of definitions, how the elements in the formula are parts of the definition,Classic Czyścibut 5281, and why the definition is one formula (for clearly the thing is one, but in virtue of what is the thing one,Ariel Quilted Bunda, although it has parts?),-this must be considered later.
What the essence is and in what sense it is independent, has been stated universally in a way which is true of every case,Męskie Barbour Cranwell Kurtka, and also why the formula of the essence of some things contains the parts of the thing defined,DeMar DeRozan Drakter, while that of others does not. And we have stated that in the formula of the substance the material parts will not be present (for they are not even parts of the substance in that sense,Al Ahli UAE Drakt, but of the concrete substance; but of this there is in a sense a formula
