ough vinegar is produced from it), and why a living man is not said to be potentially dead. In fact they are not, but the corruptions in question are accidental, and it is the matter of the animal that is itself in virtue of its corruption the potency and matter of a corpse,Dmitry Orlov Tröjor, and it is water that is the matter of vinegar. For the corpse comes from the animal, and vinegar from wine, as night from day. And all the things which change thus into one another must go back to their matter; e.g. if from a corpse is produced an animal, the corpse first goes back to its matter, and only then becomes an animal; and vinegar first goes back to water, and only then becomes wine.
Book VIII Chapter 6
To return to the difficulty which has been stated with respect both to definitions and to numbers,Alex Galchenyuk Tröjor, what is the cause of their unity? In the case of all things which have several parts and in which the totality is not,Rod Gilbert Tröjor, as it were,Ralph Lauren Sportkläder, a mere heap, but the whole is something beside the parts, there is a cause; for even in bodies contact is the cause of unity in some cases, and in others viscosity or some other such quality. And a definition is a set of words which is one not by being connected together, like the Iliad, but by dealing with one object.-What then, is it that makes man one; why is he one and not many, e.g. animal + biped,Jonas Brodin Tröjor, especially if there are, as some say, an animal-itself and a biped-itself? Why are not those Forms themselves the man, so that men would exist by participation not in man, nor in-one Form, but in two, animal and biped,Glenn Hall Tröjor, and in general man would be not one but more than one thing, animal and biped?
Clearly, then,Nick Leddy Tröjor, if people proceed thus in their usual manner of definition and speech,Jonathan Drouin Tröjor, they cannot explain and solve the difficulty. But if, as we say, one element is matter and another is form, and one is potentially and the other actually,Ralph Lauren Ned Västar, the question will no longer be thought a difficulty. For this difficulty is the same as would arise if ‘round bronze’ were the definition of ‘cloak’; for this word would be a sign of the definitory formula, so that the question is, what is the cause of the unity of ‘round’ and ‘bronze’? The difficulty disappears, because the one is matter,Sidney Crosby Tröjor, the other form. What, then, causes this-that which was potentially to be actually-except,Anze Kopitar Tröjor, in the case of things which are generated, the agent? For there is no other cause of the potential sphere’s becoming actually a sphere, but this was the essence of either. Of matter some is intelligible, some perceptible, and in a formula there is always an element of matter as well as one of actuality; e.g. the circle is ‘a plane figure’. But of the things which have no matter, either intelligible or perceptible,NHL Mens Calgary Flames Top Shelf Pullover Hoodie - Scarlet, each is by its nature essentially a kind of unity, as it is essentially a kind of being-individual substance, quality, or quantity (and so neither ‘existent’ nor ‘one’ is present in their definitions), and the essence of each of them is by its very nature a kind of unity as it is a kind of being-and so none of these
