changes must be capable of both states. And since that which ‘is’ has two senses, we must say that everything changes from that which is potentially to that which is actually, e.g. from potentially white to actually white, and similarly in the case of increase and diminution. Therefore not only can a thing come to be, incidentally, out of that which is not, but also all things come to be out of that which is, but Naiset Cg Kensington Parka CG55 is potentially, and is not actually. And this is the ‘One’ of Anaxagoras; for instead of ‘all things were together’-and Ralph Lauren Match Polo the ‘Mixture’ of Empedocles and Anaximander and the account given by Democritus-it is better to say ‘all things were together potentially but not actually’. Therefore these thinkers seem to have had some notion of matter. Now all things that change have matter, but different matter; and of eternal things those which are not generable but are movable in space have matter-not matter for generation, however, Lapset Cg Chilliwack Bomber but for motion from one place to another.
One might raise the question from what sort of non-being generation proceeds; for ‘non-being’ has three senses. Naiset Cg Thompson Jacket If, then, Moncler Huivi Ja Korkit one form of non-being exists potentially, still it is not by virtue of a potentiality for any and every thing, but different things come from Naiset Denali Hoodies different things; nor is it satisfactory to say that ‘all things were together’; for they differ in their matter, since otherwise why did an infinity of things come to be, and not one thing? For ‘reason’ is one, so that if matter also were one, Ralph Lauren ärmlös polo that must have come to be in actuality which the matter was in potency. The causes and the principles, then, are three, two being the pair of contraries of which one is definition and form and the other is privation, and the third being the matter.
Book XII Chapter 3
Note, next, that neither the matter nor the form comes to be-and I mean the last matter and form. For everything that changes is something and is changed by something and into something. That by which it is changed is the immediate mover; that which is changed, the matter; Miehet Cg Westmount Parka that into which it is Naiset Cg Hybridge Lite Jacket changed, the form. The process, then, will go on to infinity, if not only the bronze comes to be round but also the round or the bronze comes to be; therefore there must be a stop.
Note, next, that each substance comes into being out of something that shares its name. (Natural objects and other things both rank as substances.) For things come into being either by art or by nature or by luck or by spontaneity. Now art is a principle of movement in something other than the thing moved, nature is a principle in the thing itself (for man Ralph Lauren Hoodies begets man), and the other causes are privations of these two.
There are three kinds of substance-the matter, which is a ‘this’ in appearance (for all things that are characterized by contact and not, by organic unity are matter and substratum, e.g. fire, flesh, head; for these are all matter, and Män Coats the last matter is the matter of that which is in the full sense substance); the Naiset Cg Palliser Coat nature, which is a ‘this’ or positive stlinks:
