While ‘is’ has the various senses distinguished in A. 7, what ‘is’ in the primary sense is substance (i.e. ‘what a thing is’— e.g. man, god, as opposed to ‘good’, ‘three cubits high ’—or a ‘ this’). 18. Other things are said to ‘be’ by virtue of being quantities, &c., of this. 20. Hence one might doubt whether ‘ walking’ and the like are existent; no such thing can exist apart from substance. 24. ‘That which walks’ more truly is, because it has an individual substance as substratum. go. Substance is primary in definition, in knowledge, and in time; in time because it alone among the categories can exist apart; in definition because the definition of a substance is involved in the definition of anything else; in knowledge because we know a thing better when we know ‘what it is’ than when we know its quality, &c.; we know even a quantity or a quality only when we know what it is. be. The eternal question ‘what is being’ really means ‘ what is substance’ (it is substance that was said by various thinkers to be one or many, and if many, finite or infinite in number), and so this is our chief and first and practically our only subject. 1028* 10. Kadarep Srethope0a, mpdtepov, A. 7. II. ti éort kal ré8e tr, The two phrases indicate the two sides there are to Aristotle’s doctrine of substance. A ri éore is the ri éore of something, the answer to the question ‘ what is it?’; and whether this something be an individual or a universal, its essence can only be stated as a universal or a combination of universals. ré éore in fact points to the distinction between essential and accidental predication. A 708e 7. on the other hand is not the 7éde 7 of anything ; it is simply an individual; the term rode re points not to the distinction of essential from acccidental but to that of substance from attribute. The fact is that ovoia means initially for Aristotle nothing more definite than ‘ that which most truly or fully is’, He sometimes thinks of it as that 160 COMMENTARY in things which most truly, is—ri éor. or essence; and sometimes as that which most truly is because it is not in anything but exists by itself—7d8e 7 or the individual. ‘The same ambiguity occurs in the Categories, where mpatyn ovcia answers to Tdde Tu and devrépa ovcta to ti €oTL. 16. Aristotle’s object being to distinguish quality from substance, not from the other categories, tpiyxv 7 is irrelevant, and was suspected by Bz. It was, however, read by Alexander, and apparently by Asclepius, and Aristotle is not incapable of such irrelevancies, especially in a clause which like the pév clause here is unemphasized. Cf. @. 1047710 n. 1g. I have restored from A?

Alexander takes rév . . povyn ll. 33, 34 to be explanatory of ypdvw. Substance is prior to the attributes it successively possesses, as a jar is prior to the wines that successively fill it. What Aristotle says, however, is ‘for none of the other categories can exist apart; substance alone can’. Priority in this sense is elsewhere distinguished from priority in time (Caf. 14° 26-35, Phys. 260% 18) and is described in distinction from it as priority xara diow Kal oiciay (A. 1018? 14, 1o19* 2). The reading of the lemma in Asc. (kal dice Kail Adyw Kal xpdvw Kal yvwoe) and that of Bessarion and the Aldine edition (kai Adyw kat yrooe Kal xpove kal pvoer) are no doubt corrections designed to meet this difficulty, and do not mend matters, since they leave ypévw unexplained. Aristotle is by no means careful to preserve the same appellations for the various senses of ‘ prior’; thus ‘ prior in dvais’ in Cat. 145, Phys. 261° 14, 265° 22, P. A. 646% 26, A. 989° 16, ‘prior in otata’ in Phys. 260” 19, 261% 19, G.

That which can exist without other things while they cannot exist without it may naturally be said to exist before other things. Priority Adyw and priority yvdoe are not elsewhere distinguished. In 1038 27 we have priority Ady, xpove, yevéeoer; in @. 1049) 11 hoyw, ovoia, xpovy ; in Phys. 265% 22 dice, Aoyw, xpovy. In A. 1018) 31 priority xara tov Adyov is one form of priority ry yvooe; in @. 1049>16f. the two are identified. But here they seem to be distinguished from each other; as xaé before ypovm means ‘and’, it is difficult to suppose that cai before yvwéoe means ‘i.e.’ Alexander is probably right in supposing that ll. 34-36 refer to Adyw and Il. 36-) 2 to yore. 34. Aristotle here says that substance is rpGrov Ady as compared with the other categories. In M. 1077" 6 he says 76 Aevxoy is prior in Adyos to 6 AevKds avOpwros (cf. A. 1018 34). The two statements are quite compatible. ‘White’ is prior to ‘ white man’ because you can define white without including the definition of white man, and cannot define white man without including the definition of white. But body is prior to white because you can define it without including the definition of white, and cannot define white without including the definition of surface nor surface without including the definition of body. All attributes involve in the end substances and cannot be defined without including their definition. The passages are to be reconciled, then, not as Bz. seems to hold by interpreting Adyos differently, but by observing that white man is posterior to white simply because man is not the substance to which white belongs Zer se, 36-2. Bz. points out that it is not substance as distinct from attributes, but the essence of a thing as distinct from its other attributes, that is here shown to be primary in yvéou.s, The fact is that in the notion of the first category these two notions are some- what unsatisfactorily blended. This has been already noticed in l. 11 n., and becomes increasingly apparent throughout the book. In b 1, 2 Aristotle points out that even things in categories other than substance have a ri éoru, a quasi-substance, which is to them as the substance of man is to man. ‘This notion is developed in 10308 17-27, b4, ot pev év, the schools of Miletus and Elea. 5. ot pev memepacpéva, the Pythagoreans, and Empedocles and his followers; ot $€ dmevpa, Anaxagoras and the atomists.

Speusippus’ doctrine is referred to in M. 1076% 21, 1080? 14, 1085? 31, N. 1091%34. It is this doctrine that makes the nature of things ‘episodic, like a bad tragedy’ (A. 10761, N, rogo? 19). The dpyai of numbers were unity and plurality (M. 1085> 5, 1087» 6, 8, 27, 30, N. tog» 31, 109235); the dpxad of magnitudes were the point and ‘a matter akin to plurality but distinct from it’ (M. 1085? 32). E. Frank, in Plato u.d. sogenannien Pythagoreer, 245-251, holds that Speusippus recognized ten stages in the structure of the universe, viz. (1) absolute unity, (2) absolute plurality, (3) number, (4) spatial mag- nitudes, (5) perceptible bodies, (6) the soul, (7) reason, (8) desire, (9) movement, (10) the good.

SUBSTANCE AS SUBSTRATUM (ch. 3). 1028 33. At least four things are said to be substance : (A) essence, (B) the universal, (C) the genus, (D) the substratum. 36. (D) The substratum is that which is subject of everything else, never predicate; it is thought to be, most of all things, substance. M2 164 COMMENTARY 102922. In one sense matter, in another sense form, in another sense their compound, is said to be the substratum, 5. If form is prior to matter, it is prior to their compound, 7. Our account of substance as that which is always subject is inadequate ; for it would follow that matter is substance, since it is what persists when all attributes are taken away, 20. By matter I mean that which in itself is not any particular thing nor of any quantity nor otherwise determined. The other attributes are predicated of substance, and substance of matter, 27. But substance must be capable of separate existence and be a ‘this’, so that form, and the compound of form and matter, are more truly substance than matter is. 30. The compound we defer, as posterior in nature and familiar; we will study form, the most difficult of the three. We look for it first in certain generally recognized sensible substances. bg. For the order of learning is from the less intelligible by nature and more intelligible to us to the more intelligible by nature. 1028» 34-36. 16 tI fv etvan is examined in chs. 4—6, 10-12; 76 Kabddou in chs. 13, 143 76 Groke(yevovy in ch. 3. 16 yévos is nowhere separately examined in Z. At the beginning of ch. 13 Aristotle says that, as he has examined the essence and the substratum, it remains to examine the claim of the universal to be substance. From this it appears that the genus has dropped out of view. But in fact chs. 13, 14 serve as an examination of genus as well as of the universal. Every genus is a universal (though the converse is not true, differentiae and properties being also included among universals), and if the universal cannot be substance, genus cannot be co. 1029* 1-28. The two characteristics of substance here signalized as primary—that of being ultimate subject of predication and that of having separate individual existence—are the same two that are mentioned in A. 1017) 23-26. 2. The treatment of 76 izroxe/uevoy as ambiguous, meaning (1) matter and (2) the concrete unity of matter and form, is natural, and common enough in Aristotle (matter underlies actuality or form, the concrete individual underlies its affections or accidents, |. 23, cf. 10385); but it is surprising to find (3) form put forward as one of its meanings. The same suggestion, however, occurs in H. 1042228. Aristotle’s meaning is that the form or essence, instead of the concrete individual, may be thought to be what underlies properties and accidents ; cf. the description of the soul as the toxeiuevoy of life, A. 1022832. The reference to form, then, is not as Bz. suggests a slip due to the constant association of matter, form, and the unity of the two, in Aristotle’s thought. Nor is the fact that form is discussed under the head of ri jv etva, not of troxeiyevov (Bz. 301) a real objection to its Z. 3. 1028 34 — 1029% 29 163 presence here. Substratum and essence present themselves with the universal and genus as rival candidates for the position of substance. If essence turns out to be a kind of substratum, the original division into four turns out to be a cross-division ; but we already know from the case of 76 xadAov and 76 yévos that that is so. The original four- fold division is merely a prima _facze one. 8: 1 popdy. popdy is often identified with «fos and ri Av clvas, but means primarily sensible shape; cf. ro cxjpua THs idéas |. 4, rHV ev TO aicOytd popdyv 1033" 6. 6. kai tod é& dudotv. The evidence is pretty equally divided between rod and ro, but the former gives a better sense, If Ais prior to B it is clear that it is prior to A+B, but it is not soclear that A+B is prior to B, which is what ro would imply. Further, while it is true that in 1. 29 Aristotle says the concrete unity is substance more truly than matter, he says nothing of its logical priority; but in |. 31 he says that form is prior to the concrete unity ; this again confirms od. 10. adTd... TodTo, i. e. the vague statement (riz elpyra) in |. 8 f. 12-16. Aristotle divides the process of ‘stripping off’ (epraipoupevwr) into two stages. 7a adAAa, the elements in the nature of a sensible thing other than length, breadth, and depth (i.e. the secondary qualities), are mere affections, actions, and powers of bodies. But secondly, length, breadth, and depth are themselves not substances but qualities and may be ‘ stripped away’ in thought. 22-23. @ 16 elvat. .. éxdoty. The being of matter is different from that of any of the categories, because, while matter is not pre- dicated of anything, substance is predicated of matter and the other categories are predicated of substance. It is noteworthy that even in working out the line of thought from which it might be inferred that matter is substance, Aristotle implies (in airy 8 rs tAns) that substance is something other than matter, something not entirely stripped of attributes but including certain attributes. 25. o0d€ 3% at dmoddoets, ‘ nor will the ultimate subject fer se be the negations of these’,i.e. ov ri, od rocoy, &c. This is difficult; one would suppose that it was just the essence of matter, as Aristotle conceives it, to be not ri, not zocov, &c. But he seems here to feel that to say even this of it is to assign it a character, while its character is to have no character. 27. Aristotle does not criticize the line of thought according to which matter is substance, precisely in the way which might seem most natural, by pointing out that the effort to find the truest reality in that of which attributes are predicated has left us with that of which nothing can be predicated. He puts the case differently. Matter lacks two of the characteristic marks of substance. It is not capable of separate existence, and it is not individual. It fails in both respects, we may say, because it is characterless. 29. In what sense are separate existence and individuality moré. characteristic of form than of matter (that they are more characteristic of the concrete individual than of matter is intelligible enough) ? 166 COMMENTARY A similar remark about form occurs in A. 1017> 25, and the note on that passage may be referred to.

Jaeger suggests with much probability (Ar7s4. 205 n.) that the whole section, with the preceding sentence, was a note added later by Aristotle; the first sentence of the note was written between the lines of Aristotle’s manu- script and therefore appears in its proper place, but the remainder of the note had to be written on a separate sheet and has therefore been misplaced. Jaeger holds that the section belongs to a later period, when Aristotle first began to view the discussion of sensible substance in Z as preliminary to the discussion of insensible substance in A. Cf. 1037% 10-20 n. 5. dowep év tats mpdgeor. The passage is to some extent explained by £. V. 1129) 5, where we learn that we should choose what is good for us (i.e. what aids ws towards the good life) and pray that what is good in itself (i.e. external goods) may be good for us. Here he simply says ‘make’ instead of ‘pray ’. Originally, owing to some defect in us, what is good in itself may not be good for us; but we must (starting by choosing the things that are good for us) transform ourselves till this is no longer so. So too what is intelligible in itself is originally not intelligible to us; but we must clarify our minds until it 7s intelligible to us, by starting with the apprehension of what is already intelligible to us. SUBSTANCE AS ESSENCE (chs. 4-6). What things have essence P (ch. 4). * 10291. (A) We proceed to study essence, 13. (1) in the abstract. The essence of a thing is what it is said to be per se (e.g. (a) your essence is not to-be-musical). Z. 3. 10297 31 — 1029? 5 167 16. But not all of this ; e.g. (4) the essence of surface is not white- ness ; nor (¢) to be a white surface, for here ‘ surface’ itself is added improperly in the definition. The account of the essence of a thing is the account that states its nature but does not use its name. 22. (d) There are compounds of substance and another category ; is there an account of the essence of each such compound? Have they an essence? 27. E.g. has ‘white man’ an essence? It might be objected ‘that ‘essence of white man’ is not a thing that exists per se. But a proposed definition can be ‘not per se’ to its subject only (i) because of an improper addition (thus whiteness must not be defined by giving the account of ‘ white man’), 33. or (ii) because the subject has a qualification which is omitted in the definition (e. g. ‘white man’ must not be defined by giving the account of whiteness). 1030? 2. But is ‘being a white man’ an essence at all? No, for an essence is ‘just what something is’, but where one thing is asserted of another, as in ‘ white man’, this is not ‘just what something is ’, since it is not a substance. Only those things have an essence whose account is a definition. 7. It is not a definition if we merely have an account which means the same as a name (for then all accounts would be definitions, since any might have a name put to it), but only if it is the account of a primary real, i.e. of one which does not imply the assertion of something about something else. 11. Thus only a species has an essence or definition (for in a species, and only in a species, one element does not belong to the other by mere participation or by accident); but there can be an account of the meaning of azy name (saying that ‘this belongs to that’), or an accurate account can be given instead of a vague one. 17. Or perhaps definition has more than one sense, just as ‘what a thing is’ means now substance, now one of the other categories. ‘What a thing is’, like ‘is’ itself, belongs primarily to substance, secondarily to the others. 23. For we may ask even of a quality what it is; just as not-being is, in so far ag it is not-being, so quality is in a sense a ‘ what it is’. 27. (2) Since the proper way of using the term essence is now clear, we may say that in fact essence belongs (a) primarily to substance, (4) secondarily to the other categories, being in their case ‘the essence of a quality’, &c. g2. The other categories are said to ‘be’ by an equivocation or with a qualification ; or rather, they ‘are’ neither in the same sense as 168 COMMENTARY substance nor in a merely equivocal sense, but just as various things are ‘medical’ by virtue of relation to a single end. b 4. Definition and essence, then, are primarily of substance, secondly of the other categories. 7. But there is definition only if there isaname meaning the same as an account which is one in one of the senses of ‘one’ answering to the senses of ‘being ’, viz. to the categories. 12. Hence (c) there is a definition of ‘ white man’, but in a different sense of definition from that in which there is one of ‘white’ or of a substance. 1O2gP1. év dpyy, 1028» 33. 13.

In pointing out the relevant senses of od xa airo Aristotle has 170 COMMENTARY shown that the essence of ‘ white man’ is not ‘to be white’, But is being white man an essence at all, he now asks, and answers that it is not, though for a different reason from that suggested in 1029» 28 and subsequently set aside.

It might be said that a term like ‘man’, of which Aristotle thinks there is an essence, implies the predication of one term of another (‘rational’ of ‘animal’). Aristotle would reply that these are not dAda to one another since ‘rational’ exists only as-an attribute of ‘animal’ and has no separate existence. Cf. Z. 12, H. 6. On the other hand a man need not be white, nor a white thing a man. 6. dow 6 Aéeyos eottv dptopds.

Only yévous «dn have an essence, i.e. genuine species as opposed both to Platonic ei8y (cf. A. 9914 31 n.) and to collocations of substance + accident like ‘white man’. Platonic Forms xara petoynv Aéyerar—‘ participation ’” is one of Plato’s favourite ways of expressing the relation of particulars to the Form. Again, the Platonic Form need not express the innermost nature of its particulars, but is any universal under which they happen to fall, and may be a mere zaos or ovpBeBykds of them. In ‘white man’ the relation between the two elements is of the same external and accidental character. On the other hand, the genus which is implied in the name of a species does not ‘share’ in the differentia ; the differentia is not a mere ‘affection’ or ‘concomitant’ of it, but is its proper differentia. That xara peroyny is to be interpreted as above seems to be shown by 1037) 18, where La he TO30™ 2=35 17t also Aristotle is speaking of the unity of a species as opposed to a term like ‘ white man’, and says évradda 8’ (in the species) od peréxet Oarépov Odrepov' 7d yap yevos ob SoKet peréxew Tov Suahopdv.

So too a qualitative term is never the answer to the question ré éory in its primary sense, i.e. what is such and such a thing, but is an answer to the question what is such and such a quality. ‘A colour’ is the answer to the question ‘ what is white?’.

The mode of using the term ri jv eva, being now plain, Aristotle proceeds to draw the conclusion about the facts with regard to the ri jv etvas, viz. that non-substances have in a qualified sense a ri Hv etvat, Not an essence simply, but ‘the essence of a quality ’, &c.

The distinction between 7é éor: and ri Hv etvau is that while the former may stand for either a partial or a complete answer to the question ‘ what isso and ¢o?’, i.e, either for the genus or for the genus + the differentia, the latter always means the complete answer.

Since unity in some sense can be found in any of the categories, ‘white man’ (which is a union of terms from two categories) has a certain unity and can have a definition, though not in the same sense in which ‘white’ has one, while this again has a definition in a different sense from that in which a substance has one. It is clear that the chapter does not do what it set out to do, viz. to discover whether essence is substance. It only tells us that it is substances alone that in the primary sense Aave essence, But this may be found to be a step towards the answering of the original question. Flave coupled terms an essence or definition ? (ch. 5). 10g0> 14. With regard to (d) a coupled term like ‘ snubness ’, which per se belongs to the nose, not as ‘white’ belongs to Callias or to man but as ‘male’ belongs to animal, (i) how can such a term be defined, if definition must not involve an improper addition ? 23. Per se attributes are those in whose definition the account or the name of the subject must be present. If they have an essence, it must be in a sense different from the strict sense. 28. (ii) There is another difficulty about these. If snub nose = hollow nose, snub = hollow; but if this cannot be so because we cannot say ‘snub’ without implying the nose, ‘snub nose’ is tauto- logical, being = ‘hollow nose nose’. Thus, if such terms had an essence, an infinite regress would be involved. 10gI*z. Only substance, then, is definable, for definition of any- thing else would involve an improper addition; ‘odd’ cannot be defined apart from number. 5. Therefore (¢) if the terms are coupled, as in ‘odd number’, Z. 4. 1030) 4-12 173 such combinations cannot be defined, any more than terms like ‘odd’, or can be defined only in another sense of ‘ definition ’, 11, Substance, then, is the only or the primary subject of definition, In this chapter Aristotle raises two problems about ra ody dr\G GAA ovvdedvacpéva, terms which stand for an attribute which is coupled with a subject (réde év rGde J. 18) not accidentally but in virtue of the very nature of the attribute; the attribute being xa6’ avro to the subject in the sense that it cannot be defined without either naming or defining the subject (I. 23), i.e. in the second of the senses recognized in the Postertor Analytics (73° 37-> 3). Ta cvvde- dvacpeva are in fact propria (e.g. snub) or unions of subject and proprium (e.g. snub nose), which are initially distinguished from (a) substances, (4) terms in other categories, and (c) combinations of substance and accident (e.g. white man), all of which have been shown in ch. 4 to be definable, though (a) are definable in a more proper sense than (4), and (6) than (c). But ultimately all terms in categories other than substance are shown to be in principle of the same type as ‘snub’, in that the ‘definition’ of them must be €x mpoobécews, must involve a reference to the substance to which they belong (10314 2-5). The question whether ‘ the snub’ has a definition is significant for Aristotle because mévra ra gvoixd duoiws TO oid déyovrar (E. 102534). But there is an important difference between 70 oipov and natural substances; cf.n.ad loc. The conclusion drawn from the first problem (1030 14-28) is that such terms cannot be defined, or can be defined only in a secondary sense, kadaep eipjxapev. The reference here is to # 17— 13, but Aristotle does not mean that he has already mentioned this particular sense (for the cvvdedvacpéva are a different class of terms—cf. > 20—from terms like ‘white man’, which he was there referring to), but that he has said there are secondary kinds of definition. There cannot be a proper definition of 7a cvvdedvacpéva because the account of them must be é« mpoo@écews, and this prevents it from being a proper . definition (1029> 30). The ovrdcdvacpévov is a quality ; yet you cannot give an account of it without mentioning its subject as well as it. ‘The equal’ is ‘a quantity which is equal’; ‘the male’ is ‘an animal which is male’, Thus you define X as XY and break the rule against zpdceors. The second problem of the chapter is stated in 1030> 28— TOSIA I: If ‘snub nose’ = ‘hollow nose’, ‘snub’ = ‘ hollow’. But ‘snub’ is not = ‘hollow’, since ‘snub’ implies a reference to the nose while ‘ hollow’ does not. .*. ‘Snub nose’ is not = ‘hollow nose’, ,*. If we say ‘snub nose’ at all, we are saying what is = not to ‘hollow nose’ but rather to ‘ nose which is a nose-which-is-hollow’. Such terms cannot have an essence, since this would involve an in- 174 COMMENTARY finite regress; ‘ nose which is a nose-which-is-snub ’ will involve ‘ nose’ once more. By ‘such terms’ (1030) 34) Aristotle seems to mean such terms as “snub’, since this is the class of terms which he is throughout the earlier part of the chapter trying to prove_indefinable (he advances to ‘snub nose’ only in 10315), But he is evidently assuming that ‘snub’ is equivalent to ‘snub nose’ (which is what is implied in saying that the account of it must be ék zpocOécews) ; for it is only by applying this equation that he reaches the term ‘ snub nose nose’ in 1. 35. He had previously (I. 33) reduced ‘snub nose’ to ‘hollow nose nose’, which leads to no infinite regress, but now, substituting for ‘snub ’ its equivalent ‘snub nose’, he gets the form ‘ sud nose nose’, and has no difficulty in showing that if the same substitution be re- peated we are landed in an infinite regress. I take ci 8@ py l. 35 as = ef d€ Tis Adyer Oru ora Kal ev TovTOLS TO TL hv evar kat opicpos (Al. 478.15). Alternatively, we might treat dud... eivat ll. 34, 35 as parenthetical, and interpret ‘ otherwise—i.e. if it be denied that the snub-nose is a hollow-nose-nose—we shall be com- mitted to a process ad ¢nfinitum. For (since the saud is the nose that zs snub,the snub nose will be the snub-nose nose: and) the snub-nose nose will contain yet another zose (and so on ad zfinitum)’. ‘This may well be right. In any case Bz. is wrong in supposing that the introduction of fils pis oxy in 1. 35 is a mere slip. To this ‘infinite regress’ argument for the indefinability of ‘snub’ Aristotle himself in effect supplies the answer in Soph. 7. 182° 4. ‘The snub’ = ‘a snub nose’, but it does not follow that- in ‘snub nose’ we can substitute ‘snub nose’ for ‘snub’, and so ad infinitum. For in ‘snub nose’ ‘snub’ does not mean ‘the snub’, i.e. ‘that which is snub’, but a quality of the nose (puds rodi, otov wafos), so that ‘snub nose’ is analysed not into ‘snub nose nose’ but into ‘ nose having the kind of hollowness proper to a nose ’, in which no infinite regress is involved (jor otdev drorov, 29, Rhee. 1356% 10, 14059. Cf. also. B. 100081 n. KaQdtep éXéx0n, 1030% 17—) 13, Ts a thing the same as tts essence ? (ch. 6). 1031*15. Is a thing the same as its essence? This bears on the study of substance, for a thing seems to be = its substance, and its substance to be = its essence. 1g. (1) An accidental unity like ‘white man’ would seem not to be = its own essence. For else essence of man = essence of white man, since man = white man. 24. But perhaps it does not follow from white man being = essence of white man that the essence of accidental unities is the same as that of the simple terms (essence of white man = essence of man); for the extreme terms of the syllogism are not identical in the same way with the middle term. _ It might, however, seem at least to follow that the accidental extremes (e.g. essence of white and essence of musical) are the same ; but they are not. 28. (2) Is a per se term necessarily the same as its essence? Take (a) primary terms like the Ideas? If the Good Itself is to be different from the essence of good, (i) there will be substances prior to the Ideas, if essence is substance. bg, (ii) If the Ideas are separated from their essences, (a) they will not be known, and (@) the essences will not be existent. For (a) we know a thing only when we know its essence, and 7. (f) if the essence of good is not good, the essence of being will not be, arid since all essences are on the same footing, no essence will be. 176 COMMENTARY 11, (iii) That to which ‘being good’ will not attach (sc, the Good Itself) will not be good. Therefore all terms (whether Ideas or not) which are self-subsistent must be the same as their essences, (15. If the Ideas are such as the Platonists suppose, it will not be substratum that is substance, since they are substances which do not imply a substratum.) 18. (2) That a thing is the same as its essence is also clear from this, that to know a thing is to know its essence. (22. If we consider an accidental term like ‘ the white’, the essence of white will not be the same as that which is white (the white man), but it will be the same as the quality white.) 28. (c) The absurdity of separating a thing and its essence is further seen if we put a name to each essence, for then it will have another essence of its own; it is better to recognize at once that some things = their essences. 32. The definition of a thing, also, = the definition of its essence ; for it is not per accidens that e.g. unity and its essence are one. To separate them would produce an infinite regress, b 4. Each simple fer se term, then, is the same as its essence. 6. The sophistical objections are to be met in the same way as the question whether Socrates = being Socrates. Aristotle’s doctrine in this chapter is that ra Aeydueva Kata ocvpPe- Byxés (i.e. terms denoting a union of a subject with an accident) are not, and ra xa attra Aeydueva (terms denoting a self-subsistent unity, i.e. either a summum genus or a species, either in the category of substance or in some other, 1031) 27, 28) are, identical with their essence. E,g. ‘to be a man’ sums up the whole substantial, per- manent nature of each individual man and is identical with each and every man; ‘to be a sitting man’ does not express the permanent nature of any man, and ‘ to be a white man’ expresses the permanent nature of some men but not of others. Aristotle first discusses accidental terms (1031 19-28) and puts for- ward a proof of their non-identity with their essences, If (x) a white man = the essence of white man, then, since (2) a man = a white man, .*. a man = the essence of white man. Now, if (1) is true, similarly (3) the essence of man = a man, .*. the essence of man = the essence of white man. But this is evidently not true. Therefore a white man is not = the essence of white man. This reductto ad absurdum, however, Aristotle points out in 1, 24, fails. It does not follow that the essence of accidental combinations. ~ Z. 6. 1031% 29 — 1031” 10 177 is identical, sc. with that of the corresponding simple terms. For the extremes are not identical in the same way, sc. with the middle term. In the first syllogism the major term is absolutely identified with the middle, while the minor is identical with the middle only per accidens ; in the second syllogism the converse is true. Aristotle next puts forward (I. 25 éAX’ tcws xrd.) an alternative reductio ad absurdum. If the fallacy of the above reductio be detected, it might at any rate seem to follow from the identification of an acci- dental term with its essence that the accidental extremes, essence of white and essence of musical, are identical. But evidently they are not. Therefore accidental terms are not identical with their essences. The argument here implied is: The musical man = the essence of musical man. The man = the musical man. ’ The white man = the man. The essence of white man = the white man. .*. The essence of white man = the essence of musical man. .*. The essence of white = the essence of musical. This conclusion might seem to follow, because here musical man and white man are both identical with the middle term man in the same way, i.e. per accidens. The argument is, of course, unsound ; but Aristotle does not commit himself to its accuracy—he merely says ddéevev dv cvpBaivew. I0gI* 29. It is not obvious why Aristotle should have chosen as his illustration of the identity of a xa airo term with its essence a class of ka’ otro terms which he does not believe in, the Ideas. The reason doubtless is that the argument in ® 29-> rr conveys a covert criticism of the ideal theory. Plato,*so Aristotle thinks, believes in a separate good which is neither a particular good thing nor ‘being good’ (or the essence of good). But the separation of the good itself from the essence of good leads to insuperable difficulties and is therefore con- demned. Instead of Ideas we should believe simply in essences or universals. 82. Laov, sc. aird 70 GGov. 716 Ov, sc. aitd 70 Ov. bg-3r. These arguments only show that the Idea and the essence must not be thought of as existing independently of one another (dro\eupévan, 1. 3). But Aristotle uses them to show that Idea and essence are identical and cannot even be logically distinguished. One might hold that they are distinguishable but not independent, as is the case with any pair of correlatives. pév in ei pév (1. 3) looks as if Aristotle had noticed this point and meant to add another argument to show that if they are thus distinguished, but not treated as dzroXe- Avpévat, Other difficulties follow. But if this was his intention, he has not carried it out. 3. Tov pév, the Ideas. That they will not be knowable is proved in Nei6; "7. 4. es %, the essences. That they will not exist is proved in ll. 7-10. 10. Bz. objects that Aristotle has no right to say that if the essence 2678-2 N 178 COMMENTARY of being is not, no other essence will be. The corresponding result for the other essences would be that the essence of good is not good, and soon. But the argument 'seems sound enough. ‘The reason for believing in essences holds of all terms alike. If the essence of being does not exist, there is no reason for supposing that any other essence exists. -11. To his two main arguments against the separation of the Ideas from their essences (ll. 1-10) Aristotle now adds a third, that if the essence does not belong to the Idea or thing-itself, the ‘ good-itself’ will not be good, which is absurd. Alexander takes this sentence as proving that the essence of good is not good. But this has already been stated in ll. 6, 8, so that érx would be unexplained. Besides, it would be tautologous to say ‘ that to which being good does not belong is not good’. There is more point in saying ‘that to which being-good (the essence of good) does not belong is not good’. Aristotle has already said (1. 5) that being-good will not belong to the Good-itself’ ; he now draws the inference that the Good-itself will not be good. dya66 14, 225226, 32, 4, 226% 24, 243% 6, 260% 26, De Caelo 310% 23, K. 1067» 31, 36, 1068% 9, b 16).

I. e. chance is found when an action incidentally and exceptionally produces a result which might naturally have been the object of deliberate action. Since one such result may be produced incidentally by a variety of actions, chance is of the nature of the indefinite (197% 9), and since the result could not have been foreseen, chance is ‘a cause obscure to human thought’ (196> 6). 76 airdpa- rov, on the other hand, occurs ‘in events that normally happen for an end, whenever something whose cause is ex/ernal happens not for the sake of the result which actually follows’ (197 18), e. g. when a horse % Z. 7. 1032%12— 1032 15 183 (sc. being pursued by thieves) is saved by going to a certain place, but did not go in order to be saved (19715), or when a stone (sc, being pushed) falls and hits some one without having been meant to do so (197> 30). But besides the cases in which something moved by an external force achieves an unintended result, 76 airéuarov also occurs when an zfernal cause, i.e. nature, produces an exceptional result (197 33), e.g. when an illness cures itself (77. A. 604> 9). Aspecially important instance of the latter kind of spontaneity is ‘ spontaneous generation’ of plants or animals from rotting earth, dew, mud, excre- ments, wood, &c., for which cf. Bz. /ndex 124% 3-30. In general, then, chance simulates the action of art or, more generally, of thought, while in spontaneity (the more general term) (1) the action of thought is simulated, or (2) the normal action of nature is simulated by nature producing in an exceptional way (e.g. dvev orépparos, 1032 31) what it normally produces otherwise (e.g. ék owépyaros), Thus chance is more appropriate to rovrwy tues, ‘makings ’, and spontaneity to r& dad picews yuyvoueva. 30-81. evo yap... dveu omépparos, e. g. eels (7.

Aristotle has said that ‘by art are produced those things whose form is the soul’. But, he reflects, disease can be produced by medical art no less than health, yet the doctor has not in his soul the form of disease ; disease has no form but is merely a privation. To meet this objection he now adds that the form is in a sense the form of the privation (only ‘in a sense , because it is not by its presence but by its absence that it produces the privation). Thus if the doctor knows the form of health, he can pro- duce either health or disease. 4. For éketvys yap dmovola * vdcos, the reading of A>, cf. I. 10048 14. 6-10.

Aristotle’s meaning is ‘and this, viz. that which produces the part of health, is the limiting point, or minimal necessary basis, and there is similarly a necessary basis for a house (se. the stones) and for every other product’, It would be also possible (1) to put a comma after yépos and make ris dyveias depend on érxarov; and(2 a)to read kat 76 ovrws jépos for 70 pépos (following EJ except that éori is omitted) and translate ‘that which produces health and is in that sense a part of it’; or (2 4) to read 7d Touty TO pépos Kal TO ovTws j.€pos, ‘that which produces the part of health and in that sense zs a part of it’. Kal THS oikias (olov of AiGor) Kal rGv &Awv is tacked on very loosely, like cat ro wip in 10349 17. It is difficult, however, to regard the relation of heat (or rubbing) to health as analogous to that of stones to the house that is made of them. In the generalization which follows, Aristotle regards himself as having shown that the matter of that which is produced must exist before the production takes place (1. 31); and stones evidently are the matter of a house. But the heat in the body is naturally conceived not as the material but as the efficient cause of health, and so it seems to be con- ceived in]. 21. Aristotle has got into difficulties through taking as parallel two things that are not parallel—health and a house (I, 11). That which is to the doctor as a house is to the builder is not health but a healthy body. Having stated the product abstractly Aristotle also states the cause abstractly, not as ‘a body having heat’ but as ‘heat in the body’; and thus he gets something not really parallel to the stones—which are the material cause of a house—and not really a material cause. There is, however, in his view a real difference between the two cases (103449). Stones are inert, at least so far as grouping themselves into a house is concerned, and are therefore simply vAy. But a body with heat in it has an innate power of transforming itself into a healthy state. It is thus both a material and an efficient cause ; it is 7 VAy » dpxovoa THs yeveoews (1034211).

But even so its relation to health is not a very close analogue to the relation of the stones to the house, 30.

But does some element in the definition also pre-exist? Well, we state in two ways what bronze circles are, naming both their matter— bronze, and their form—such and such a shape; and shape is the proximate genus in which the circle is placed. The bronze circle therefore has its material (or generic) element in its definition (as well as matter in the more ordinary sense—viz. sensible matter, bronze—in its concrete wholeness. And this must pre-exist as well as the sensible matter; the bronze which is given a circular figure must already have figure of some kind)’, The section, on this view, refers to the doctrine that genus is related to differentia as matter to form, and thus is in a sense matter (A. 1024? 8). The objections to this interpretation are; (1) the ellipticalness of the expression, The section concludes not, as would be expected on this interpretation, by saying ‘thus part of the form must pre-exist, as well as of the matter’, but by saying ‘the bronze circle, then, has its matter in its definition’. (2) The question of the pre-existence of form is raised in the next chapter as a mew question, while the pre-existence of matter is assumed to have been proved in ch, 7. (3) In the discussion of the pre-existence of form, Aristotle expressly sets aside the notion that part of the form pre-exists while the rest supervenes (? 11-16).

Stone is the maéler of the statue ; disease is the frzvation of health. Where the privation is clearly apprehended and has a name, we say the result comes from the priva- tion-rather than from the matter (since that from which a thing comes is properly something that changes, not something that persists, 1. 21); and what comes from X cannot be said tobe X. Where the privation is not clearly recognized and named, we say, less properly (ll. 19-22), that the thing comes from its matter, and, since here too we feel the difficulty of saying that a thing is what it comes from, we say not that the statue is wood but that it is ‘wooden’.

Form does not come to be, any more than matter, bul only the combination of the two (ch. 8). 1033724.

The sphere is not made, any Z. 7. 163322 —8.. 40331 187 more than the bronze, which is the matter ; save per accidens, since the bronze sphere is a sphere and is made. gi. For to make a ‘ this’ is to make it out of the substratum, im the full sense (i.e. out of a given form as well as a given matter). If the substratum were made, it would be made out of something else, and so ad infinitum. b5. Evidently, then, the form is not made; the concrete thing is made by putting the form into the matter; if the form were made it would have to be divisible into matter and form. 1g. Is there a sphere apart from the particular spheres, a house apart from the bricks? Surely there would never have come into being a ‘ this ’ at all if that were so. The form isa ‘such’, not a ‘this’; in making, a ‘this such’ is made out of a ‘this’. The whole ‘this’, e.g. Callias, is analogous to ‘this bronze sphere’, man to ‘ bronze sphere’, 26. The Forms, if there are any Forms apart from particulars, do nothing to explain becomings or substances, and are not, on that account at least, to be viewed as self-subsistent substances. 29. In some cases it is obvious that the producer is something one in kind with the product, i. e. in natural generation, except in abnormal cases such as the production of a mule by a horse, and even there the class that comprises both parents presumably has the characteristics ot both, and is something like a mule. 1034*2. Thus we need not posit a Platonic Form as pattern, for living things are what are most truly substances, and there would be a Form here if anywhere. The begetter is adequate to the putting of the form into the matter.

He apparently means these two alternatives to apply to different kinds of form. Pure forms which exist untrammelled by any conjunction with matter—God, the intelligences that move the spheres, the human reason—are eternal, Among the forms the acquisition of which by matter constitutes becoming or change, a distinction must be drawn. Where what is produced is a new substance, its form must have pre-existed in another individual; where what is produced is a substance with a new quality, quantity, &c., the quality, quantity, &c., need not have pre-existed actually; it may have existed only potentially (103418). dvOpwzos dvOpwrov yevva, but there is no corre- sponding principle Aevxdy Aevxdy yevvd.

Aristotle passes now to consider a doctrine which might seem to follow from his denial of the creation of form, viz. the Platonic doctrine that Forms exist eternally and independently.

Since one substance cannot contain another actually existing substance (1039 3), it follows that if the form were a substance there could never come into being an individual substance containing it as an element. So Al, Bz. But quite probably we should omit the comma after jv, and translate ‘ Perhaps the answer is that if the form were an individual subsistent in this manner, coming-to-be would never take place at all’. 24.

Aristotle’s account is that the form of the mule is not the same as that of its sire, the horse, since this has failed to master the opposition offered by the material element coming from the dam, the ass; but it is identical with the generic form of the sire, since this is also the generic form of the dam and thus has no opposition to conquer. Thus the mule is a sort of abstract universal, with the generic qualities common to horse and ass but without (or at least not having all) the specific qualities of either. 1034° I. odk @vdpacta.

The conditions of spontaneous production answering (a) to artistic (b) to natural production. The conditions of production in categories other than substance (ch. 9). 1034* 9. (1) (2) Why are some things (e.g. health) produced spontaneously as well as by art, and others not (e.g. a house)? The reason is that in some cases the matter which begins the production is such as to be moved by itself, in some not; sometimes again it can move itself in the particular way required, sometimes not. 18. Accordingly the product will or will not need the artist for its production; in the latter case it can be set in motion by what has not the art but can be moved either by something else that has not the art or by a movement starting from an already existing part of the product. 21. Thus all artefac/a are produced from something else with the same name as themselves, as living things are produced, or from a part which is of the same name (e.g. a house from a house, since the art of building is identical with the formal element in a house) or from what contains a part—unless the production be merely incidental. 25.

The notion that a part of the sesh must be pre-existent has been ae expounded in 1032 26— ROSS 7 i. 13-18. Aristotle divides matter thus: (1) some matter can initiate motion, (2) some cannot. Of (1), (2) some can initiate motion of the particular sort required to produce a-certain result; (4) some can initiate motion of some kind but not of the kind required; e.g. stones of themselves can fall but cannot arrange themselves into a house, fire.can rise but cannot move so as to heat bronze. Two mistakes seem to be involved in this classification. (i) Aristotle assumes wrongly that the elements have a natural motion in certain Leo LOSAM TIS! 1 Igl directions, earth downwards, fire upwards. (ii) This once assumed, it is hard to see what is the matter he describes as having zo power of starting motion on its ownaccount.

The sentence then means ‘the motion leading to such products will be originated by these things (the things which have some power of originating the required motion, cf. 1. 14), which have not the art in question but can themselves be moved either by other things which have not the art, or with a motion that starts from a part of the product which already exists in the things themselves’, Thus Aristotle recognizes three modes of production of, e. g., health; it may be produced 1) purposely, by the physician, U3 spontaneously, (a) by some action of a non-physician (or a materialeobject) on the sick body, (4) by a motion starting from some element of health (e.g. heat) present in the sick body. 20-21. kwetoOar ... téexvnv.

That by virtue of which A produces B directly per se isa part of B. rod zouety rpGrov kal avro, ‘of its producing the result directly per se’. Incidental production may be illustrated by the case of the builder’s producing not a house simply (which he produces directly) but a house which is agreeable or injurious to its inmates (E. 1026> 6-10). 28. 7 dkodouet.

So too in generation the product springs from its ownessence. This applies to all three kinds of produc- tion described in ll. 21-30. (1) In natural production it is the specific essence of the father (which is identical with that of the offspring) that produces the offspring. (2) In artistic production the essence of the product, conceived by the artist, is the cause. (3) In spontaneous production heat, for example, which is the cause of the production of health, is the inner essence of which health is the manifestation. 33-34.

The coming into being of a bronze sphere is the imposition of a new shape (which is a kind of guality, Cat. 10711) on an existing 2673-2 Oo 194 COMMENTARY substance ; the coming into being of bronze is the generation of a new substance. Aristotle now generalizes and says ‘so is it, sc. generally, both in the case of substance and in that of quality’, &c. 16-19. Cf. 1033” 5-6 n. EsSENCE AND DEFINITION (chs. 10-12). (1) Should the account of a whole contain that of the parts? (2) What parts are prior to the whole ? (ch. 10). 1034 20. (1) Must the definition of a whole contain that of the parts? The definition of the circle does not contain that of the segments, but the definition of the syllable contains that of the letters ; why is this? 28. (2) If the parts are prior to the whole, the acute angle should be prior to the right angle, the finger to the man. Yet the wholes are prior both in definition and in power of independent existence. 32. (1) Really ‘part’ is equivocal. The parts of substance are matter and form, but in a sense only the elements of the form are parts of the thing. 1035°4. E.g. flesh is a part of snubness but not of hollowness ; bronze is a part of the whole statue but not of it as form (a name, like ‘statue’, may be applied to the form or to the thing as having form, but never to the bare matter). g. This is why the case of the circle differs from that of the syllable (cf. 1034” 24). The letters are parts of the form of the syllable; the segments of the circle are matter on which form supervenes, though nearer the form than the bronze in a bronze circle is. 14. In a sense not all the letters are present in the definition of the syllable ; the letters in wax or in the air are only the sensible matter of the syllable. For the parts into which a whole is dissolved may be parts of the concrete whole but not of the form, and therefore not present in the definition. 25. Hence things which are composed of form and matter (e. g. the snub, the bronze circle) can be dissolved into their material parts ; immaterial things cannot be so dissolved. gi. Thus the clay statue is dissolved into clay, and even the circle into its segments—i.e. the individual circle, not the circle in the abstract. » 3. (2) To restate the matter, (2) parts which are parts of the definition and into which the definition is analysed are, at any rate some of them, prior to the whole definition ; but the definition of the Z. 9. 1034 16-19 195 right angle is not analysed into that of the acute but we versa, for the acute angle is defined as ‘less than a right angle’. 9. So too with the circle and the semicircle, the man and his finger, The parts which are matter are posterior to the whole; the parts of the substance as defined are prior, at least some of them. 14. (a) Since the soul is the substance as defined (or form) of such and such a body (at least no part of the body can be properly defined apart from its function, which involves perception), so that (4) the parts of the soul are (all or some) prior to the concrete animal, while the body and its parts are posterior to the soul and are the constituents not of it but of the concrete whole, 22. therefore (c), while the bodily parts are prior in a sense to the concrete whole, in a sense they are not (for the finger in the proper sense cannot exist apart from the animal); while some bodily parts are neither prior nor posterior, viz. the supreme parts in which the essence immediately resides, e. g. the heart or the brain. 27. Things which are predicated universally of particulars (e.g. man) are not substance but a compound of this definition and this matter taken universally, while the individual comprises an ultimate individual portion of matter. gi. (1) (Return to the first problem.) There are parts of the form, parts of the concrete thing, and parts of the matter; only the first are parts of the definition, which is of the universal. 10362 2. The concrete individual, whether sensible like a bronze circle or intelligible like a mathematical circle, is not definable but knowable by the aid of intuition or perception; when the circles have passed from actuality, it is not clear whether they exist or not, but they are described by the universal definition. 8. Their matter itself is unknowable. Matter is sensible and change- able, or else intelligible—viz. the matter which exists in sensibles not gua sensible, i. e. mathematical figures. 12. We have now treated of whole and part, priority and posteriority ; we must next answer question (2) (return to the second problem), whether the right angle, the circle, the animal, or their parts are prior. We answer by a distinction : 16. If ‘animal’ may mean the soul, ‘the circle’ circularity, ‘the right angle’ right-angleness, then while the whole in a sense is posterior to the parts in a sense, i.e. the bronze right angle or the right angle formed by particular lines is posterior to the parts in the definition and to the parts of the particular right angle, the immaterial right angle is posterior to the parts in the definition but prior to those of the particular ; O02 196 COMMENTARY 24. but if the soul cannot be said to be the animal, even so some wholes are prior to their parts, others not, as has been said. In this chapter Aristotle returns from the digression on generation which has occupied chs. 7-9, to continue, in-effect, the discussion of essence which occupied chs. 4-6. The chapter raises two main questions: (1) Should the definition of a whole contain the definitions of the parts (1034? 20-28)? (2) Are the parts prior to the whole (? 28-32) ? The treatment of the two questions is interwoven: (1) is discussed in > 32—1035> 3, 1035 31—1036 12, (2) in 1035 3-31, 1036 413-25. 103420. was 8é Adyos pwépyn Exer.

What Aristotle says is true enouch of the finger; the body can exist without it, while it cannot exist without the body—it ceases to be a finger, except in name. But he is careless in assuming that the position of the acute angle is similar ; it is not true that the right angle can exist without the acute angle and not the acute angle without the right angle. Take a finger away from a living body and you leave it still a living body; take an acute angle away from a right angle and it ceases to be a right angle. Aristotle distinguishes the two cases clearly enough in A. 27. His other point, that the definition of the acute angle presupposes that of the right angle and not vice versa, is of course correct. 33. ets pev... moody. For this rpdmos cf. A. 1023) 15. 10352 7. ‘ For the form or the thing as having form may be spoken of as the so-and-so (éxacrov), but the material element by itself should never be said to be the so-and-so,’ This is probably intended by Aristotle to justify him in speaking (in ll. 6, 7) of the form alone (as well as the concrete whole) as ‘the statue’, while he refuses to call the matter alone a ‘statue’. 11.

In a bronze circle there are two Z. 10. 1034 20 — 10358 20 197 grades of matter, one more essential than the other. Strip off the sensible matter (bronze) and you are still left with intelligible matter (the spatial parts of the circle). Aristotle’s remark here anticipates the doctrine stated in 1036* 9. 16. 1a év 76 dept, letters spoken and propagated through the air; cf. De Sensu 446” 6. 20. 70 cvvoXoyr is not to be identified either with the sensible or with the individual. It is applicable (1) to the intelligible individual ees 3), (2) to the universal answering to a set of sensible individuals 1035» 29), (3) to the sensible individual ; in fact to anything that con- tains matter either universal or particular, either intelligible or sensible. One would suppose that, as the universal of a set of sensible individuals contains the universal of their sensible matters (1035> 29), the universal of a set of intelligible individuals would contain the universal of their intelligible matters and would thus be a fourth kind of oivodov. But Aristotle does not draw this inference, and treats ‘the circle’ not as corresponding to ‘man’ and differing from it only by containing intelligible instead of sensible matter, but rather as corresponding to ‘soul’, which he identifies with ‘ being a soul’, i.e. with the pure form of vitality (103671). The main importance of the chapter lies in the recognition of (1) the intelligible individual, and (2) the materiate universal or \dyos evvAos (De An. 403? 25), as intermediates between the sensible individual and the pure form or, as we may call it, Adyos avAos. A consideration of, say, the circle leads to the recognition of five entities : (a) the relation stated in the equation to the circle, (3 this relation spatialized (the circle in general), ¢) this relation exemplified in a particular space—(1) above, (d) this relation embodied in a certain type of matter—(2) above, (e) this relation embodied in a particular portion of matter — (3) above. Aristotle in effect here ignores (4) or identifies it with (a). And in 1036 7-20 he rejects the Platonic conception that the form of line is something non-spatial—the number 2. This goes with his insistence (in the Posterior Analytics) on a complete separation between arith- metic and geometry. It is evident that Aristotle’s intelligible individuals answer to ra petagd of the Platonists (for which cf. A. 987>14n.). He attacks these (A. 991 29, B. 997° 14, K. 1059) 6, M. 10771, N. 10go? 36) without hinting that he himself held a similar doctrine. There is, however, an essential difference, in his opinion, between the two doctrines. He thinks, rightly or wrongly, that the Platonists regarded the intermediates as separately existing entities, while he himself thinks of them as existing in sensible things and separable only by definition (1036 11, M. 2, 3); his objection to ra peragv is the same as his fundamental objection to the Ideas. But it is noteworthy that he also attacks a doctrine of intermediates which, like his own, conceived of them as existing zw sensible things (B. 9984 7). This doctrine too, he 198 COMMENTARY would doubtless say, regards the intermediates as substances, while he regards them merely as characters of substances. 21-23. Neither the text of EJ nor that of AP in these lines can be accepted, and an early corruption is clearly indicated. The singular 7 in 1. 23 indicates that Adyos has been spokenof in the singular, and TO pey...7@ 0 was probably the original reading. This was corrupted into tov pev...7dv 8, and the reading of AP implies an attempt to amend the whole reading thus produced. 23. av ph 770d cuverAnppevou. Jaeger (anticipated by Christ) thinks this a gloss, (1) because in his view, whether we understand these words as meaning ‘ unless the parts are parts of the concrete thing’ or ‘unless the definition is the definition of the concrete thing’, they destroy the sense, and (2) because he thinks 7d cuverAnppevoy could not be thus used without any explanation, not having occurred before in Z The words occur, however, in all the manuscripts and in Alexander and are defensible, though not necessary. (1) They state the condition under which the parts should not be mentioned in the definition of the whole. ‘But in another kind of definition the definition of such parts should not be present, viz. if the definition is not the definition of the concrete whole.’ (2) cvveAnpperov peta THs tAys has occurred already in E. 1025) 32; further, ocvverAnpupévov is explained presently, in 1. 25. — 29. 7 ddws 7 ovToL oTw ye.

Aristotle has pointed out that pure form is definable and that the concrete individual is grasped (@) in its individuality, with the aid of yénows or aicPyows, and (4) so far as its universal nature goes, by definition. He now adds that substance in the third of the senses recognized in 1029 2, 3, 1035%2, viz. bare matter, is not knowable at all. g-10. The phrase vA7 voyry occurs, in Aristotle’s works, only here and in 1037" 4, H. 1045 34, 36. Prima facie it has different meanings in the two books. In Z it is something which exists in individuals (103721, 2)—in non-sensible individuals (1036 35) or in sensible individuals not considered as sensible (1036 11), and the only instances given of these individuals are mathematical figures (103644, 12, 1037%2). It seems to be equivalent to 4 7dv pabnpatidy try of K. 105915. Alexander accordingly identifies it with extension (510. 3, 514. 27), and as far as Z goes this interpretation would be satisfactory. But in H it is the generic element in a definition, and therefore (1) is present in the nature of a species (there is no reference here to individuals), and (2) has no limitation to mathematical objects. It is not likely, however, that Aristotle would have used the phrase in two quite unconnected senses, and it is noteworthy that 200 COMMENTARY the instance of it given in H is a mathematical one; ‘plane figure’ is the tA vont? of the circle. It would seem, then, that either the wider conception was already in his mind when he wrote Z, and extension is merely given as an instance of dAy vonry, or (which seems more probable) he generalized the notion when he came to write H. If we are right in connecting the two uses, Ay vonry in its widest conception is the thinkable generic element which is involved both in species and in individuals, and of which they are specifications and individualizations. It is evident from ]. 11 that in Aristotle’s view everything that has sensible matter has intelligible matter, while the converse is not the case. Similarly everything that has tAn yervyti kat POapry has vA torucy and the matter involved in growth and in alteration (H. 1042» 3), whereas vAy tomky, at any rate, can exist without tAn yervyryn (1042) 4, 10444, ©. 1050” 17, A. 1069» 25). So also can the matter involved in alteration (®. 1050 17). It is further stated that vAy tomy implies none of the others (H. 1044» 7, @. 1050 21, Phys. 260% 28), Further, alteration presupposes local movement (260 4), and growth presupposes altera- tion (260% 29)—and therefore local movement (H. 1042) 4n.). Cat. 14, which asserts the independence of the different kinds of change, is probably not by Aristotle. We thusget a.scaleof matters, each of which implies all that precede it: (1) vAn vonry, (2) try aicOnrn, (a) kwyry (tomy), (4) dAAowT 7H, (c) adgyri cat bOiry, (2) yevvynth kal pOaprn, which is tAy pdduora Kal Kupiws (De Gen. et Corr. 320° 2).

Aristotle’s answer to the question of priority is as follows: (1) Some wholes are posterior to some parts ; viz., the particular or materiate right angle (whether its matter be sensible or intelligible) is posterior (@) to the elements in the definition, and (4) to the parts of a particular right angle (whether sensible or intelligible). But (2) the immateriate right angle, while (a) posterior to the parts of the definition, is (4) prior to the parts of the particular right angle.

Which parts are parts of the form, which of the concrete whole ? (ch. 11). 10362 26. Which parts are parts of the form, which only of the concrete thing? Until we know this we cannot define anything, for definition is of the form. 31. When the form supervenes on specifically different materials (e. g. the circle on bronze, stone, wood), the materials are evidently no part of the form; but when this is not so, it is hard to eliminate the matter in thought. > 3. E. g. the form of man is always found in flesh, bone, &c.; are these, then, parts of the form, or parts of the matter but difficult to eliminate because the form never supervenes on other materials? 7. Some have suggested that lines are to the circle as flesh to man; they reduce all mathematical objects to numbers and say the definition of the line is the definition of ‘two’. 13. Some Platonists say two is the line itself; others say it is the Form of the line, holding that, while two is the same as its Form, the line is not the same as its Form. 17. It would follow that (1) there is one Form of many things which evidently have different forms; (2) at this rate there may be one supreme Form, the others not being Forms at all; but thus all things will be one. 21. We have stated the difficulty about definitions, and its reason. It follows that it is a mistake thus to eliminate matter; some things are essentially ‘this form in this matter’ or ‘ these things in this state’. 24. The comparison of ‘animal’ to ‘circle’ used by Socrates the younger is misleading; it implies that man can exist without his parts as the circle can without bronze; but the animal is a sensible object and cannot be defined apart from movement, i. e. apart from its parts, and these in a certain state; for it is only the hand which can do its work, i.e. which is alive, that is a part of a man. 32. Why is not the definition of the semicircles included in that of the circle? Not because they are sensible objects, for they are not. But in truth some non-sensible things have matter; every individual thing has matter, intelligible if not sensible. The semicircles are not parts of the universal circle, though they are of particular circles. 202 COMMENTARY 10372 5. Soul is the primary substance; the body is matter; man is the unity of the two taken universally. Socrates may perhaps be identified either with his soul or with the concrete unity; but if only with the latter, the particular (Socrates) answers to the universal (man). 10. Whether there is another matter apart from the matter of such substances, and another substance, must be considered later. It is with a view to this that we are examining sensible substances, which belong in a sense rather to physics, since physics must study the substance as defined, even more than it studies matter. 17. How the elements in the definition are parts of it, and what constitutes the unity of definition, must be examined later. The thing evidently is one, but what makes it so? 21. We have stated generally (1) what essence is and in what sense it is self-subsistent, (2) why the definition of some things contains the parts of the things while that of others does not, 24. (3) that the material parts are not present in the definition (for they are not parts of the substance as defined but of the concrete substance, which in its union with matter cannot be defined but can only be defined according to its primary substance, the indwelling form, e. g. hollowness as opposed to snubness); but in the concrete substance (e.g. the snub nose) there is matter ; 33. (4) that primary substances (i.e. those which do not imply the presence of something in something else which is its substratum), e. g. crookedness, are the same_as their essence, while concrete things involving matter, and unities of substance with an accident, e. g. Socrates + musical, are not the same as their essences. 1036? g. adhedeiv todtoy, cf. ddaipety tiv BAny, |. 23. 8. dwopodct twes.

Yet Aristotle has said (1036 » 29) that the definition of man must mention his material parts, Of course a definition must not mention prime matter, since that is aopirrov, i.e. nothing definite can be said about it; but in certain cases the proximate matter must be mentioned.

What constitutes the unity of a subject of definition P (ch. 12). 1037” 8. Let us discuss definition in so far as it has not been dis- cussed in the Analytics. The question there stated is of use to.our inquiries about substance, viz. the question why that, the account of which is a definition, is one. 1g. Why is ‘two-footed animal’ one and not two? ‘Man’ and ‘white’ are two when the one does not belong to the other, one when it does ; 18. but in ‘ two-footed animal’ one element does not share in the other ; the genus does not share in the differentiae, else it would share in contraries at the same time. Even if it does share in its differentiae, the same difficulty occurs, since the differentiae of man are more than one—possessed of feet, two-footed, wingless. Why are these one? Not because they are present in one genus, for then a// the differentiae that belong to a genus will form a unity. 24. But the elements in definition mus? be one, since substance, the subject of definition, is a unity, a ‘ this’. 27. Let us examine, first, definition reached by division. There is nothing in definition but the first genus (e.g. animal) and the differentiae; the lower genera are the first genus + the differentiae (e, g. two-footed animal). 33. The number of the elements of the definition makes no differ- ence; let us reduce them to the genus and one differentia. 10388 5. Now (1) the genus does not exist apart from the species, or, if it does, exists only as matter; therefore definition is the account consisting of the differentiae. g. But (2) we must at each stage divide by the differentia of the previous differentia; we must divide ‘ possessed of feet’ into ‘ cloven- footed ’ and ‘ whole-footed’, not into ‘ winged’ and ‘ wingless’, 206 COMMENTARY 15. We must proceed so till we come to the indivisible species. There will then be as many kinds of foot, and of footed animals, as there are differentiae. The last differentia will be the substance and definition of the thing. ts 20. If we mention the earlier differentiae as well, we shall repeat ourselves. ; 25. If, then, we take a differentia of a differentia, one differentia— the last—will be the form; but if each differentia is accidental to the previous one, there will be as many differentiae as there are steps ‘in the division, Definition, then, properly consists of the last differentia. go. If we change the order of the definition, putting ‘two-footed ’ before ‘ possessed of feet’, the latter is evidently superfluous; but there is no order in substance (therefore ‘ possessed of feet ’ must be superfluous even when it stands first). So much for definition by the method of division. The unity of a definition, and of iis subject, according to Aristotle, lies in the fact that the genus and the differentiae have no existence apart from one another, nor have the successive differentiae. The genus is merely the ‘ matter’ of the definition, and each differentia the ‘matter’ of the next. He accordingly condemns definitions in which any of the differentiae are accidental to the genus or to one another. The discussion is carried further in H. 6. 1037” 8.

The distinction between Adyos and épucpos has been drawn in 1030? r4. 14-21. The obvious intention of this argument is (1) to show how man and white form a unity, when they do so (Il. 14-18) and (2) to point out that genus and differentia cannot form a unity in this way (il. 18-21). Bz. argues that the mode of unity referred to in the first section (kara mdéGos) is not the same as that referred to in the second (xara peOcéw). He thinks therefore that Aristotle is arguing that genus and differentia are not one ecther xara maOos or xara wéOcéw, and that it is merely by carelessness that he frames the sentence in a way which suggests that these modes are the same. But in 1030813 peroxy is used in this connexion as synonymous with rd@os. If weréxew be so used here, the argument can have its natural meaning. In 14-18 Aristotle describes a unity xara peroynv Kal rdOos, and in 18-21 he shows that the definition is not a unity of that sort. It is true that in the Zopzcs (1214 11 and elsewhere) 76 peréxew is defined differently, but that account of it does not seem to be in Aris‘otle’s mind here ; he is using perexyew in the Platonic sense alluded to in H. 1045° 14-20, by—9.

The other kind is that é« rév évurapxdvrwv (B. 998? 13, H. 1043? 20). 10384 5-9. Since the genus does not exist apart from the species or exists only as their matter, it offers no obstacle to the unity of the definition, and accordingly the definition may be considered as if it consisted only of differentiae. This is the first step in the explana- tion of the unity of the definition. The next step is to show that the differentiae in a definition may be reduced to one. 5. Ta ds yevous eidn, cf.

The universal ts not substance (ch. 13). 1038” 1 (B) (cf. 1028>33). We have discussed two things that are held to be substance—the essence, and the substratum (which we showed to ‘underlie’ in two ways, as the ‘ this’ underlies the accidents, and as the matter underlies the actuality). 6. We now proceed to discuss the universal, which some think to be the truest cause. But it seems that no universal can be a substance, for : g. (1) If it be suggested that the universal is the substance of a thing, we answer: (a) The substance of a thing is that which is peculiar to it, but the universal is common to many. It must be the substance of all or of none. But it cannot be the substance of all; and if it be the substance of one, this one will de the others, for things whose substance or essence is one are one. 15. (4) It is that which is not predicated of a subject that is substance, but the universal zs predicated of a subject. 16. (2) If it be suggested that the universal is not substance in the sense of essence, but is included in the essence, e. g. ‘animal’ in man, then (a) evidently it is definable (and so there will be an infinite regress). 19. But (4) even if not all elements in substance are definable, the universal will be the substance of something ; as ‘man’ is the sub- stance of the manin whom it is present, ‘ animal’ will be the substance of that in which it is present and to which it is confined. (Thus suggestion (2) turns into (1).) 23. Further, (c) a ‘this’ or substance, if it is composite, must con- sist not of qualities but of substances. Otherwise non-substance will be prior to substance ; but this is impossible; for affections are not prior to substance in definition, in time, or in generation, else they would be capable of existing apart. 2g. Further, (@) in Socrates a substance (animal) will be present as an element, and will therefore be the substance of two things (the class of animals and Socrates). 30. (e) In general, if infimae species are substances, none of the elements in their definition is the substance of anything or can exist apart from its particular instances or in anything else. 34. (3) No common predicate indicates a ‘this’, but only a ‘such’, Otherwise we get the ‘third man’ and other difficulties. Zats. 1933 2~7 209 1039° 3. (4) A substance cannot consist of other substances existing actually ; for what is actually two is not actually one (e. g. a line which is double another consists only potentially of two halves, for their actualization separates them). g. Democritus puts our point well when he says that one cannot be produced out of two nor vice versa; he refers to atoms, which he regards as the only substances. Similarly, if number is, as some say, a synthesis of units, the number two is not one, or else contains no units actually. 14. Our result involves a difficulty. If no substance can consist of universals (because-they indicate a ‘such’, not a ‘this’), nor of substances actually existing, all substance will be uncompounded and therefore indefinable. ‘ 1g. But it is universally agreed that substance is the only or the chief object of definition. Either, then, all things are indefinable or they are definable in one sense though not in another. Our meaning will appear more clearly later. Chs. 13-16 form a separate section of the inquiry into substance, the main upshot of which is summed up in 10412 3-5: ‘no universal is substance, and no substance contains substances as its parts’. The section begins (ch. 13) by discussing and rejecting the claim of the third claimant to the title of substance—the universal, and implicitly also that of the fourth claimant—the genus. From this follows (ch. 14) the rejection of the claim of the Ideas to be substance. Further it is argued (ch. 15) that the individual is indefinable. This is argued partly on the ground that the individual is subject to destruction and change ; but the connecting link with ch. 13 lies in the other argument, that since the universal is never a substance, never a ‘this’, always a ‘such’ (13. 10392 15, 16), definition, which is an enumeration of universal marks, can never adequately express the nature of an individual. Next a corollary is inferred from the principle which was made the basis of one of the proofs in ch. 13 (1039 3, 16), viz. that sub- stance cannot be composed of actual substances; it is argued that the material parts of substances are not actually substances (16. 1040 5— 16). And finally a further attack is made on the Platonic tendency to identify substance with the universal (1040 16—1041° 5). 1038" 2, 3. This is a reminiscence of 1028) 34; genus, however, is now omitted (as coming under the universal), and 76 ék rovtwv, the concrete individual, is added. 4. mept rod ti Hv etvor, chs. 4-6, 10-12; Kal Tod droKerpevou, ch. 3. 5. ott SixGs bmdxertat, cf. 10297 2 n. 7. trow, the Platonists. 2678-2 P 210 COMMENTARY 10. I have adopted here the reading which sense and idiom seem to require ; it accounts well for the various readings found in the manu- scripts and the commentators. 13-15. The argument is not clear but may be interpreted as fol- lows : ‘ What will the universal be substance of? Either of all its particulars or of none (for there is no-reason why it should be sub- stance of one any more than of the others) ; but it cannot be substance of all (since, as we have just seen, 1. 10, the substance of a thing is something peculiar to it. It follows, then, that it is the substance of none of its particulars). Ifwe try to avoid this conclusion and treat it as the substance of one of them, then (since (the universal will be no less the substance of its other particulars, and) things that have the same substance are identical) this one will de the others; which is absurd,’ ; 18-23. In answer to the suggestion now put forward, that the universal is not the substance of things in the sense of essence, but is a substance because it is an element present in their essence, Aristotle replies that the universal can be defined, and seems to have meant to add that in that case it will itself contain a generic or universal element, and so substance will be contained in substance, ad zufinifum. But, he observes, we need not make this assumption, that everything that is part of the substance of something can be defined. Quite apart from this assumption, the universal will be the substance of something, as ‘man’ is of the man in whom it is present; so that the new view that the universal is a substance present 7m the essence of its particulars turns into the old one which has already (9-16) been refuted, that the universal zs essence. For the universal, e. g. animal, will be the sub- stance, not indeed of man but of that in which it is present as some- thing peculiar to it; i.e. of the class including all animals. This interpretation enables us to treat ll. 19-23, 23-29, 29-30 as giving three distinct arguments (as éru in ll. 23, 29 shows that they do), not (as Bz. does) as giving parts of one argument. 22, Bz.’s suspicions of otaia in this line are amply confirmed by its absence in A> and in Asc.c. The vulgate reading is due to the conflation of alternative readings, ovata éxe‘vov and éxeivov ovata. 23-29. The argument seems to be as follows: Universals having been -shown not to be substances (Il. gQ—16), they must not be regarded as constitutive elements of substance (as the view under consideration regards them, 16-18), since then non-substance would be prior to substance. 27-28. olte byw yap ore xpovw ore yevéoet .. . mpdtepa.

But (1) the Greek commentaries as well as the manu- scripts read yevéoe, and (2) xpévm would not be likely to be put between Adyw and yvwoe, which are at least very near one another in sense (in @. 104917 they seem to be identified), It is better there- Z. 13. 1038> 10 — 1039% 22 211 fore to keep yevéoe and to suppose that it is added as a synonym of xpove. 29. The variety of readings here seems to be due to Alexander’s 7 Ywxpdre odcia dvr evurrdpser ovoia, in which ovota dvr is no doubt added to bring out the point. ‘In Socrates, himself a substance, there will be present as an element a substance (sc. animal), which will therefore be the substance of two things (sc. of the class of animals and also of Socrates).’ 30. 6 dvOpwros, i.e. the individual man, Alexander thinks.

Aristotle is not very successful in solving the problem. - The Ideas are not substance (ch. 14). 1039" 24. Observe the consequences for those who say the Ideas are separately existing substances, and at the same time resolve the species into genus and differentiae. ‘Animal’ will be either the same BQ 202 COMMENTARY or different in ‘man’ and in ‘ horse ’—i.e. numerically ; in definition it is clearly the same. If man is a separate ‘this’, animal must be so too. 33. (1) If ‘animal’ be supposed the same in horse and in man, (a) how can it be the same in things that exist.apart? Will it not be divided from itself? ba. Further, (2) if it shares in ‘ two-footed’ and in ‘many-footed’, it, though one individual, will have contrary attributes; if it does not, in what sense can it de two-footed? It is absurd to say ‘ by com- position ’, i.e. by contact or by mixture. 7. (2) If ‘animal’ is different in each species, (a) there will be practically an infinity of things whose substance is ‘animal’. Further, (2) each of several things will be ‘animal itself’. For (i) the ‘ animal ’ in each species will be the swds/ance of that species, for it is that and not anything else that each species is called after ; otherwise that other would be the genus of man ; and (ii) all the elements in the essence of man will be /deas ; and therefore, since what is the substance of one thing cannot be the Idea of another, the ‘animal’ in each species of animal will be ‘animal itself’. 14. Further, (c) from what will the ‘animal’ in each species be derived? how can it be derived from ‘animal itself’? How can the ‘animal’, whose essence is just to be animal, exist apart from ‘animal itself’? 16. (3) These and even greater difficulties arise if we consider the relation of Ideas to senszble things. Evidently, then, there are not Forms of sensible things such as some suppose. 1039? 26- 19 is very similar to P].

Z. 14.°1039% 26 — 1039 17 213 Gmeipa Ws Eos eimety is an exaggeration, since for Aristotle the number of species in a genus is limited. 9-14. The argument is very obscure, but may perhaps be expanded as follows: ‘ Further, each of several things will be the Idea of animal. For (i) the “‘ animal” in each species of animal will be the substance of that species ; for it is after that and nothing else that the species is called (i.e. when we want to say what e.g. man essentially is, we say he is an animal, not an anything else); else that other would be the generic element in man. And (ii) each element in man, and therefore among others the element ‘‘ animal ”, is on the Platonic theory an Idea, We may infer that the “animal” in man is not the Zdea of one thing and the swdstance of another. Therefore the “ animal” in the various species of animal, which as we have seen is the suds/ance of each of these species, will be the dea of animal.’ For the force of kar’ dAAo déyerau 1. 10 cf.

The difficulties raised in *26->16 have referred to the relation of genus to species; Aristotle now says that even greater difficulties for the ideal theory attend the relation of species to sensible individuals. Individuals, and therefore Ideas, are indefinable (ch. 15). 1039” 20. Concrete things are generable and therefore destructible ; forms are never in course of being destroyed any more than of being created; they are or are not, without generation or destruction. 27. This is why (1) particular sensible substances are not subjects of definition or of demonstration, viz. because they have matter capable of being and of not being. If knowledge can never become ignorance, there cannot be demonstration or definition of the contingent, but only opinion, 1040*2. For perishable things are no longer known when they have passed out of our perception, and, though the formula in the soul remains the same, there is then no longer definition or demonstration ; thus it is always possible to overthrow a definition of a particular, for it cannot really be defined. 214 COMMENTARY 8. (2) Therefore an Idea, also, cannot be defined, for (a) it is said to be a separate particular. Its definition would have to consist of words, but new-coined words would not be understood, while old ones are common to all things of a class, 14. If it be said that, while the marks used in the definition separately belong to many things, together they may belong only to one, we answer (i) that they will also belong to both elements in the definition, e. g. ‘two-footed animal’ to ‘ animal ’ and to ‘ the two-footed ’” (where the elements are eternal, this mws¢ be so, since they are prior to the compound and, further, separately existent, because, if ‘man’ is to exist apart from its particulars, so must ‘animal’, and if ‘animal’, then also ‘ the two-footed’) ; further, (ii) that the elements are prior to the whole, and therefore are not removed when the whole is removed. 22. (2) Again, if the elements of Ideas are Ideas (as they must be, elements being simpler than the compounds), the elements, e.g. ‘animal’ and ‘two-footed’, will be predicable of many subjects. Otherwise how could they be recognized? All Ideas are thought to be shared in by a plurality of subjects. 27. In the case of eternal things, especially if they are unique, like the sun, people do not realize the impossibility of definition. Definition may err not only by adding irrelevant attributes such as ‘ going round the earth’ (the sun would still be a sun if it did not do this, for ‘sun’ means a certain substance) ; 83. but also by naming attributes which can belong to another subject. Such a definition will be common, while the sun was supposed to be an individual—Why does not some Platonist produce the definition of an Idea? The truth of our remarks would become apparent. Bz. thinks that as in chs. 13, 14 Aristotle has proved that universals are not substances, he now proves that individuals are not substances. But (1) that is not Aristotle’s view, and (2) Bz. can arrive at it only by piecing together the conclusion of this chapter, that individuals are in- definable, with the conclusion of ch. 4, that substances are the subject of definition. If Aristotle had meant his readers to draw Bz.’s con- clusion, he could hardly have failed to call attention to it. The interest of the chapter is simply in the problem of definition. Aristotle has asked in ch. 13 (1039 14-22) whether anything can be defined, and begins his answer here by pointing out that at any rate individuals cannot. While chs. ro-14 have continued the line of thought of chs. 1-6 and contained no reference to chs, 7-9, ch. 15 has such a reference (1039? 26). But it also continues the line of thought of chs, 1-6, 10- Z. 15 1039 22 — 10407 15 215 14, and in particular the problem of the possibility of definition, which was raised in ch. 13. 1039> 22. 6 dyos ddus, ‘the definition in its full extent’, not bound up with any particular matter.

The definition of an Idea might be defended against the attack just made, on the ground that, though each of the marks separately belongs to more than one subject, taken together they belong only to the Idea in question. Aristotle proceeds in 1. 15 to object to this defence, but, as Bz. observes, he himself gives a similar account of definition in An. Post. 96°33 éxacrov pev ei mAciov brdpéer, Gravta S& pH ert wAdov. The objection, then, must derive its force, if it has any, from the gecu/zar nature of the Ideas—from the fact that they are individuals and exist separately (I. 9). The first objection is stated in I]. 15-17. ‘ Two-footed animal’ will belong both to ‘animal’ and to ‘ the two-footed’. Bz. thinks that dzdp- xew is here used (by an illegitimate change of meaning) not in the sense of ‘ be predicable of’, which it has in ], 15, but in the sense of ‘ be con- tained in the extension of’; but for this sense he offers no parallel. imdpxew has, in fact, its ordinary sense. Aristotle means that ‘two- footed animal’ is predicable (1) of ‘animal’ (not universally, but in certain cases), and (2) of ‘ the two-footed’ (universally, since two- footedness belongs only to animals, as a differentia should belong only to its genus, Zop. 143% 30). This objection would not apply to an ordinary definition, since that does not imply the existence of genus and differentia apart from the species. But according to the Platonists 216 COMMENTARY ‘animal’, ‘the two-footed ’, and ‘man’ are separately existing Ideas ; and ‘two-footed animal’ is predicable of all three, and therefore not a proper definition of man. The difference between the Idea and the ordinary subject of defini- tion is brought out in the next words (17-21). ‘ This applicability of the proposed definition to more subjects than “that for which it is pro- posed mus/ exist in the case of the eternal entities (the Ideas), since the genus and the differentia are prior to and parts of the compound, the species, and since further they exist separately. They must exist separately, if the species does; for the genus is described as existing apart from the species, and if the genus does so the differentia must do so too.’ 18. mpdtepd y’ ova Kal pépy is a loose accusative absolute, for which cf.

Bz. objects to et’ (which purports to introduce a new argument) on the ground that the priority of genus and differentia to species has already been used in the previous argument (]. 18). But Alexander affords no support to Bz.’s suggestion dvadopa éorar, dru, except that he seems not to have read «79. Bz.’s objection is removed if we treat kat rovTo . .. diaopd (17-21) as parenthetical, and <6 dr, &c., as answering to rpGrov pev, 1.15. The second argument then is: Genus and differ- entia are prior in being to species, and what is prior to another is not destroyed by its destruction and therefore cannot be its definition. 22. dvtavaipettar. Aristotle has dvravaipeois in a somewhat similar sense (Zop. 158 33), but his usual word for this relation is ovvavat- pew (e.g. K. 1059) 38). Alexander had érz instead of émeita (or érera dé) ei, and treats ém... . e€ oy (I. 23) as a Separate argument. But so taken it is exces- sively obscure, while, if we read «i, this clause offers a suitable protasis to what follows. ‘ Again, if the elements of Ideas are Ideas (as they must be, elements being simpler than their compounds), it will follow further that they must be predicable of more than one subject.’ Asc. seems to imply such a connexion (dvéyxn otv karyyopeicbar KrH., 443. 12). The history of Alexander’s reading is doubtless as follows. The first part of ANTANAIPEITAIEIL EITAEI was read as ANTANAIPEITAIETI, and the last part omitted by haplography. 23-27. The argument is: ‘Genus and differentia must be predicable of more that one subject. (.... They cannot form the definition of a single subject.)’ How, Aristotle asks, can genus and differentia merely by combination with one another lose this character of ‘ com- monness ’? 25. Ts yywpioOnceTar; sc., the Ideas being usually apprehended by generalization from several particulars. The Idea is for Plato what answers to a common name (Rep. 596 A 6). 27-2, év tots didiors goes (as Asc. sees) not with ddvvaroy épica- oGax but with AavOdver. It isnot impossible to define eternal individuals any more than other individuals, but the impossibility is less obvious, since the objection arising from the fact of perishability (1039> 27— =: Z. 15. 10407 18 — 1040? 3 207 1040 7) is not present in their case. Again, 74 povaxad, things which are the only instances of their kinds, are not specially impossible to define, but the impossibility is specially hard to detect. Definitions may be (1) unduly narrow (29~33) or (2) unduly wide (33-> 2). (1) In the definition of A as BC, B or C may be irrelevant. If there are several instances of A, probably there will be some in which B or C is absent and the badness of the definition will be noticed. But where there is one instance only, the badness may easily escape notice (cf. 1036” 6). (2) If you define an individual A as BC, then if there are like individuals the definition will apply to them also and will be seen to be a bad definition of A. But if, like the sun, A is unique, and there are no other things to which BC is applicable, you may easily not realize that there mzght de other such things, and that you have defined not ‘the sun’ but only ‘sun’. Definition of the individual is inevitably liable to both the errors here described. (1) You may be sure that certain attributes are not essential, but since you do not know the whole history of the individual you cannot be sure whether certain others are essential or not, (2) No series of marks will exhaust the nature of the individual, since every series of marks marks off not an individual but a kind. Thus the individual is indefinable, and if Ideas are individuals, they are indefinable. 27. domep otv elpyrat. Aristotle has not made the remark in ques- tion before, but he has treated the impossibility of definition as less obvious in the case of eternal entities, since he has given several argu- ments to prove it (8-27) over and above the general arguments against the definition of individuals (1039 27104087).

(1) Most so-called substances are potentialities—the parts of animals (which do not exist separately, and even when separated 218 : COMMENTARY are merely matter) and the elements; they are not unities but merely aggregates till they are fused into one. 10. One might suppose that the parts of living things and the corresponding parts of the soul are both, existing both actually and potentially, because living things have sources of movement in their joints so that some animals live when divided. Yet they exist only potentially when they are united by nature—not by force or by adhesion, which is a malformation. 16. (2) Since the meaning of ‘one’ answers to that of ‘ being ’, and the substance of what is one is one, and things whose substance is one are one, unity or being cannot be the substance of things, any more than being an element or principle can be so; we have still to ask what the principle is. 21. ‘Being’ and ‘unity* are more substantial than ‘ principle’ or ‘element’ or ‘cause’, but are not substance, because (@) they are common, while substance belongs only to itself and to that which has it. Further (4), one thing cannot be in many places at once, while what is common can. No universal, then, exists separately from particulars. 27. The believers in Forms are right in saying the Forms exist apart if they are substances, but wrong in saying that the one in many isa Form. Because they cannot say what the eternal substances are that exist apart from sensible particulars, they make them the same in kind as the perishable things which we do know, merely adding ‘itself ’,—‘ the horse itself’, &c. 34. But, even if we had never seen the stars, they would have been eternal substances apart from the things we knew; and so, even if we do not Know what eternal substances there are, yet there must be some. 1041® 3. No universal, then, is a substance, and no substance is compounded out of substances. In this chapter Aristotle abandons his own fourfold list of the things that might be considered to be substance (ch. 3 ad znit.), and returns to criticize the popular views about substance expressed in ch. 2 according to which the parts of living things, and the four elements, are among the things that have the most obvious claim to be substances. 1040” 6, Surdpers eiot, are not actual substances but components capable of contributing to the life of the whole body. 6-8. ‘For none of them is separately existent ; and when they are separated from the living body, then too they are existent, all of them, only as matter” The hand while it is in the body is not separately Z. 16. 1040° 6-13 219 existent, and therefore not a substance but simply a material con- stituent, isolable in thought, of a substance. And when removed from the body, then too it is not a substance, with an activity of its own, but a mere collection of épovomepy, skin, bone, and flesh. Cf. 1035 17, G. A. 726 22. 3 8.

The suspicion is unnecessary. ‘The doctrine is that the cause of the inherence of a zé6os in a substratum (e.g. of noise in clouds) or of a quality in certain materials (e. g. of the shape characteristic of a house in bricks and timber) is always—to state the matter abstractly (Aoyikés)—the ri jv etvax or definition of the union of substratum and dos, or of materials and anaety. But in some cases this definition expresses the final cause—e. g. a house is defined as a shelter for living things and goods (H. 10437 16, 33); other cases the definition expresses the efficient cause—e. g. thunder is a noise in clouds due to, i. e. produced by, the quenching of fire (Az. Post. 93 8, 94° 3). In other words the formal cause is not a distinct cause over and above the final or efficient, but is either of those when considered as forming the definition of the thing in question. Similarly in An. Post. ii. 11 the formal cause is identified with the efficient {94> 18-21) and even with the material (there treated as = the sum of the necessary conditions of a conclusion) (94* 34). 31-32.

Therefore, if we can find out what in general is the cause of things, the answer to the question ‘ Why?’, we shall have found what substance is. -Now< Why?’ always means ‘Why is B A?’ We have therefore only to find the general nature of the answer to ¢zs question. In general it is a statement of form or essence. Form or essence, then, is substance. It has been thought, therefore, that a reference here to the question ‘What is man?’ is irrelevant. Alexander interprets zi in this line as meaning dca.7/, which it cannot mean; Bz. with greater probability proposes to read dia zi, which occurs as a marginal reading in E (but has probably made its way there from Alexander’s commentary). It seems, however, that Aristotle’s meaning is as follows: The object of our search, the fact that it is the formal cawse we are looking for, is concealed when we use a simple expression, unanalysed into subject and attribute, like ‘man’. We then ask ‘ Whatis man?’ But if we analyse our question, we find that it means, ‘ By reason of what is this combination of bones, sinews, &c., a man?’ (61d. ri rade T08e). And the answer is, ‘Because it is informed by the form of man, the human soul’. Until we have performed such an analysis, our question ‘shares the character of a genuine and of a meaningless inquiry’ (Il. 3, 4); i.e, it is not yet clear whether we are asking a genuine question. For the reduction of the question ‘What?’ to the question ‘ Why ?” cf. An. Post. 89> 39—90%1, 90% 14-21. But in that workit is only the definition of attributes that is reduced to the question ‘ Why do they occur ?’, whereas here the definition of man seems to be similarly reduced. 4.

Similarly this matter, or rather this matter having this form, is a man.’ It does not seem necessary to read di éxov with Bz. for todi éxov.

We have said that (1) the causes of substances are the object of our search. 6. (2) Some substances are generally recognized, i. e. the physical, viz. the elements, plants and animals and their parts, the physical universe and its parts; while certain thinkers treat the Forms and the objects of mathematics as substances. 12. (3) Other substances are established by argument—the essence, the substratum, the genus, the universal; with the two latter are con- nected the Ideas. 17. (4) Since the essence is substance, we had to discuss definition and therefore also what parts are parts of the substance, and whether these are also parts of the definition. 21. (5) Neither the universal nor the genus is substance; the Ideas and the objects of mathematics must be considered later. 24. We must now discuss the acknowledged substances, viz. those that are sensible, all of which have matter. The substratum is substance, and this is (1) in one sense the matter (which is potentially a ‘ this’), (2) in another the definition or shape (which is a ‘this’ and is separ- able in definition), (3) in another the union of these, which alone is subject to generation and destruction and is separable in the full sense (while only some of the substances in the sense of definable essences are separable). 32. Of these three, even (1) master is substance, for in all change there is something that underlies the change, whether it be change of place, of size, of quality, or in respect of substance (generation and destruction). » 3. The last kind of change involves all the others, but either one or two of the others do not involve it ; a thing need not have matter for generation and destruction if it has the matter or potentiality for local change.

Since substance as matter, i.e. the substance that is sub- stance potentially, is generally recognized, we next (2) discuss the substance, as acfuality, of sensible things. Democritus seems to think there are three differentiae—shape, position, order. 15. But there are many; things are characterized by composition (e.g. by being mixed), by being tied, glued, nailed; by position, time, place; by the sensible qualities such as hardness and softness, some by some, some by all of these, and in general by excess and defect. 25. ‘Is’ must therefore have just as many meanings; for a threshold ‘being’ means being so situated, for ice it means being so solidified ; the being of some things, e.g. a hand, will be defined by all these characteristics. gi. We must grasp the kinds of differentia, for they will be prin- ciples of being; e.g. excess and defect, straightness and crookedness, mixture. 1043% 2. Since substance is the cause of a thing’s being, it will depend on these differentiae what kind of being the thing in question has. None of them is substance even when coupled with matter, yet they are analogous to substance; as in the definition of substances what is predicated of the matter is the actuality, in other definitions it is what most resembles actuality. 7. E.g. to define ‘threshold’ we say ‘wood or stone in such a position’ (adding sometimes the final cause). 12. To different matter there answers a different actuality or defini- tion—composition, mixture, &c. / Those who define a house as ‘ stones, bricks, and timbers’ are stating the potential house; those who say ‘a covering for animals and goods’ state the actuality; those who combine both statements give the concrete substance, H. 1. 10428 — 2. 1043814 229 21. Of the last kind were the definitions approved by Archytas, e “still weather is absence of motion in a large extent of air’. 26. Sensible substance, then, is (1) matter, (2) form and actuality, (3) the union of the two. 1042" 11-35, cf. A. 985° 13-19 nn. 16. It is curious to find xpaois treated as a Kind of cvvéecis.

Sometimes it is not clear whether a word means the con- crete substance or the actuality, e. g. ‘house’, ‘line’, ‘animal’. 36. The two meanings have a common reference, if not a common definition. The question of the two meanings does not affect the in- vestigation of sensible substance; for the essence plainly attaches to the form. For ‘soul’ and ‘to be soul’ are the same, while ‘man’ and ‘to be man’ are different, unless the soul can be called man. Fs b4. The syllable does not consist of the letters + composition ; for the composition is not derived from the things compounded. The position is not derived from the threshold, but w7ce versa. 10. Man is not animal + two-footed ; if these are the matter of man, there must be something apart from these—neither an element nor a compound but the substance. Those who describe man as animal +two-footed are omitting this, and stating the matter. If, then, this is the cause of man’s being, and that is the substance of man, they will not be stating man’s very substance. (14. This is either eternal, or perishable and generable without ever being in process of perishing or becoming. It is not the form but the concrete thing that is generated. .Evidently the substances of some perishable things cannot exist separately, viz. those that cannot exist apart from the particular instances, e.g. house. Perhaps these, and _jndeed all things that are not formed by nature, are not substances ; the nature in natural objects is the only substance in perishable things.) 23. Thus there is some point in Antisthenes’ problem; he said you cannot define what a thing is (definition being simply circumlocution), but can teach what sort of thing it is (e. g. that silver is Zeke tin), 28. so that composite substance, whether sensible or intelligible, can be defined, but its elements cannot, since definition predicates one thing (form) of another (matter). H. 2. 10432 21 — 3. 1043? 11 231 32. If numbers are substances, it is in this way and not as assem- blages of units ; for (1) definition is a sort of number, being divisible, and divisible into indivisibles, 36. (2) Definition, like number, loses its identity if anything be subtracted from or added to it. 1044*2. (3) A number must be something by virtue of which it is one—else it is a mere aggregate ; a definition also is one; but the principle of unity in both is commonly missed. This is natural, for substance has the sort of unity that a number, not a unit, has; it is an actuality and a definite nature. g. (4) Formal substance, like number, does not admit of degree ; if any substance does so, it is concrete substance. We have shown, then, in what sense generation and destruction of so-called substances is possible, and have dealt with the reduction of substance to number.

They are, he thinks, mere analogies, but they account for the attractiveness, to some minds, of the reduction of substance to number. 33. obrws eiot xth., i.e. they are not simply aggregates of units but have a principle of unity which keeps their parts together. 84. ds twes Aéyouor, sc. the Pythagoreans and Platonists.

It is rather hard on the Platonists to attack them for treating the essential substance of things as an ageregate, if (as seems to be the case) the doctrine of inaddible numbers was meant just to avoid this implication.

Even if all things have the same ultimate matter, they have different proximate matter. 20. The same thing has more than one matter. Phlegm comes (1) (a) from what is fat, directly, (2) from the sweet, because the fat comes from the sweet, (2) from bile, by the resolution of bile into prime matter. 25. From the same matter different moving causes can sometimes produce different things ; in other cases different things involve different matter. If the same thing can come from different matters, the moving cause must be the same. 32. When we look for the cause of a thing, we must state all the causes we can—material, efficient, formal, final (the last two being ~ perhaps the same), taking care to get the proximate cause. bg. So much for generable natural substances. The case of eternal natural substances is different ; some things presumably have no matter, or only the matter which qualifies things for spatial movement. 8. In natural things that are not substances there is no matter; the substance is their substratum. There is no matter of eclipse; the moon is what suffers it; the efficient cause is the earth; there is presumably no final cause. The formal cause is the definition, but this is obscure unless it states the efficient cause, as does the definition ‘ deprivation of light by the interposition of the earth’. 15.

Again, why is not wine ‘potentially vinegar’, the living man ‘potentially dead’? These corruptions are incidental; the matter of the living man is by force of corruption potentially a dead man, and water (the matter of wine) potentially vinegar.

When Aristotle says that contraries do not change into one another (A. 1069” 6), he is using évayriov in only one (the more fundamental!) of the two senses here referred to, i.e. of the contrary qualities, not of the things characterized by those qualities.

Aristotle’s answer to the question is that wine is not the matter of vinegar but the normal product of the same matter of which vinegar is the abnormal product. In sucha case there is no direct transition from the normal to the abnormal product nor vice versa; the given product must first be reduced to its constituent matter. This is stated explicitly of the change from the abnormal to the normal product (1045* 4-6), and implied with regard to the converse change (1044> 34—104538 2). 36. card cupBeBnkds at POopat, i.e. the degeneration into vinegar does not attach to the wine directly, but to the water of which the wine is a particular form.

We return to the question (cf. 104423) what makes a definition or a number one. All wholes as opposed to mere aggre- gates must have a cause of unity, which in bodies is contact, viscidity, &e. 12. A definition is one not by external union but by being the definition of one object. What, then, makes man one, not animal + two-footed? In particular, if there are Ideas of animal and two- footed, why do not men exist by participation in these two rather than in one Idea? + 20. The usual modes of definition afford no answer to the question, but the distinction of form and matter does. 25. The difficulty is the same as that of the unity of ‘round bronze’, if this be the definition of some term, It is one simply because bronze is matter and round is form. ‘There is no cause of the actual coming to be of what was potentially, save the efficient cause, in the case of things subject to becoming. It is the essence of the potential sphere to become actual, of the actual to have been potential. 33. Matter may be either sensible, or intelligible ; in a definition there is always an element of matter as well as one of actuality (e, g, ‘plane figure’ in the definition of circle). 36. Things that have not matter of either kind, i.e. the categories, are directly and essentially some kind of one as they are some kind of being ; hence their existence and their oneness are not stated in their definitions. ‘Their essence is directly a one as it is an existent ; hence there is no other cause of their unity or of their existence ; for each is directly an existent and a one, though being and unity are not their genera and do not exist apart from the particular kinds of being and unity. b 4, Some solve the problem of unity by ‘ participation’, which they cannot explain or define; others by ‘intercourse’ (so Lycophron), ‘ composition ’, ‘ connexion ’—formulae that can be applied to anything whatever. 16. Their mistake is that they look for a difference between, and a unifying formula for, potentiality and actuality, while really the proxi- 238 COMMENTARY mate matter and the form are one, the first being potentially what the second is actually, so that there is no reason of their unity except that which causes the movement from potentiality to actuality; while immaterial things are without qualification and essentially unities, 10452 7.

The problem is that of the unity of genus or vAy vont with differentia. Aristotle illustrates it by. the more familiar notion of the unity of form with vAy aicOyrn in e.g. a bronze ball, and then in |]. 33 returns to the case of genus and differentia, and points out that genus is to differentia as sensible matter to form and may therefore be called intelligible matter. 26.

This is the more probable interpretation ; the reference to the case of man occurs too far back to be referred to here as Alexander suggests. 34. tA vonry means here the generic element in a species. For this use of $An (without the adjective) cf. 23, A. 1024" 9, Z. 1038 6, I. 10584 23. tA vonry occurs in (apparently) a different sense in Z. 1036* g, where see note. 35. oXipa énimedov. The interest here being in matter, Aristotle states only the material or generic element in the definition of circle. 36—» 7. Aristotle has shown that a species is unified by the fact that its genus exists only as the matter of its differentia, and its differentia only as the form of its genus. This explanation does not apply to swmma genera (i.e. categories), which have no matter either intelligible or sensible. The unity of these, however, needs no explana- tion; they are by their own nature instances of unity (dep & 71), as they are instances of being. Because unity and being are inevitably predicable of them, unity and being are not mentioned in their definitions (really, of course, they have no definitions but can merely be described, Alexander 563. 17). The section contains a certain amount of repetition, but this is for the sake of emphasis. The rearrangements of the text by Alexander and Schwegler are not necessary and do not help matters ; the justifica- tion of 86 in 2, which was the point that troubled them, lies in ei@us (* 36). Since any swmmum genus must from its very nature be a one and an existent, ‘one’ and ‘existent’ need not be inserted in the definition of any swmmum genus. b 6-7. odx 4s... mapa ta KaO” Exacta is evidently directed against the Platonists, H. 6, 1045 7 — 104519 239 6. otx ds... vi.

BOOK © Potency (chs. 1-5). Potency in the strict sense, t.e. power to produce motion (ch. 1). 1045 27. We have treated of primary being, to which all the other categories imply a reference, viz. substance; since being is divided according as it means potency or complete reality as well as according to the categories, we must discuss potency and complete reality. 35. First we will discuss potency in the strict sense, which, however, is not the most suitable to our present purpose. Later, in our dis- cussion of actuality, we will explain the other senses of potency. 240 COMMENTARY 104624. We may set aside the potencies that are so called by equivocation (i.e. potencies or powers in geometry). g. Potencies in the proper sense are originative sources, and are called potencies by reference to a primary kind (a), that which is a source of change in another thing or“in the thing itself gwa other. The derivative kinds are (2) the potency of being acted on, of being changed by another or by the thing itself gva other, and (c) insuscepti- bility to change for the worse by the agency of another thing or of the thing itself gua other, 16. Again, these are potencies of acting or being acted on simply, or of acting or being acted on well; the definition of the former is implied in that of the latter. 1g. In a sense the potency of acting is one with that of being acted on; in a sense it is different. ‘The one is in the patient (it is because even the matter is a motive principle that things can be acted on, different things by different things); the other is in the agent. Thus so far as a thing is an organic unity it cannot be acted on by itself, for it contains no distinction of agent and patient. 29. To every potency there answers a privation of potency, an incapacity to do that same thing in that same relation. We say a thing is ‘deprived’ of an attribute (1) when it has not it, (2) when it might naturally have it but has not it—has not it (a) at any time or (6) when it might have it, and again (a) has not it in a particular way (e. g. completely) or (8) has not it at all. Again, we sometimes mean that it is prevented by force from having what it would naturally have. 1045 28. eipytar. The reference is to ZH in general. 32. elmopev év Tots mpwTois Aéyots.

For the full list of meanings of év cf, E. 10264 33- 2, 85—1046? 4. The two senses of dvvayus which Aristotle wants to distinguish may be indicated by the words ‘ power’ and ‘ potentiality’ respectively. He proposes to treat first of power, and then, in discuss- ing actuality, to treat incidentally of potentiality (1046% 2-4). Power he explains as primarily a power in A to produce a change in B, or in A, considered in one respect, to produce change in itself in another respect (104611). Potentiality on the other hand is a potentiality in A of passing into some new state or engaging in some new activity (1048 32). This activity may be the production of a change in B, but the notion of a B to be acted on is not necessarily implied in the ©. 1. 1045 28 — 10464 31 24I notion of potentiality, as it is in that of power. The notion of power is obscure enough, but it is certainly familiar and it is easily distin- guished from that of potentiality. But Aristotle proceeds to treat as subsidiary to the notion of power as distinct from potentiality, of h kata Kivnow divas (1046* 2), (2) the power in A of being changed by B and (4) the power in A of not being changed for the worse by B (t1-15). In these ‘powers’ part of the distinctive nature of power as against potentiality is still present—viz. the distinct implication of two things A and B; but the other part of its distinctive nature is gone—viz. the implication of positive force, for in (a) weakness rather than force, and in (6) inertial resistance rather than force is implied as being present in A. That Aristotle does not successfully preserve the distinction between power and potentiality is further indicated by the facts noticed by Bz., that in the discussion of power he introduces (1) a definition of dvvardv which clearly refers to potentiality rather than to power (1047 24), and (2) a lengthy section which also refers to potentiality rather than to power (1047 3-30). 10464 2, eimdvtes epi tavTys, in chs. 1-5. 3. ev Tois mepl Tis evepyelas Sioptopois, chs. 6-10.

The whole context shows that év d\Aw goes only with peraBodys; it is in virtue of this that dpyy peraBodjs ev dAAw can be opposed to dpyy peraBodrns jm’ GAdrov (I. 12). Rather the unity, in some sense, of the active and the passive dvvayis is based on this, that the single fact that A can change B leads us to ascribe both an active power to A and a passive power to B. The active and the passive power are thus the complementary aspects of a single fact. Cf. De An. 425» 25—426* 30, 24. 76 AuTapdv pev yap Kkavotév.

That ris abrys dpyjs means 6 Adyos is shown by |, 24, and tavré probably means this also, The soul will initiate either of two contrary movements as a result of the same originative source, the account it has framed for itself of the object, and it will have linked both movements with the same thing, i.e. deduced them from this account as the movements necessary to bring the object into existence or to prevent its coming into existence. For cvvdrrew used of syllogistic ‘linking up’ cf. Az.

Potency defended against attack (ch, 3). 1046» 29. There are some who say, as the Megaric school does, that there is potency only when there is actuality. This leads to manifest paradoxes : 33. (1) A man will not be a builder if he is not building, for to be a builder is to be able to build. Now if one cannot have an art with- out having learnt it, or, later, be without it without having lost it (i.e. by forgetfulness, disease, or lapse of time, for the odjecf of art cannot be destroyed), are we to suppose that the moment he stops building he has lost the art; if, then, he starts building again immediately, how will he have recovered the art? 1047* 4. Again, nothing will be cold or hot when it is not being perceived (so that they are really maintaining the theory of Protagoras), nor will anything have perception if it is not perceiving; people will be blind and deaf many times a day. 10. (2) That which is not happening will be incapable of happening, and then we must never say that it will be, so that change is done away with ; what stands will always stand, what sits will always sit. 17. To avoid these consequences we must distinguish potency and actuality. 24. A thing is ‘capable’ of something if there is nothing impossible in its having the actuality of that of which it is said to have the potency. 30. The word ‘actuality’, which we connect with ‘ complete reality ’, refers originally to movement; hence we do not ascribe movement to non-existent things, though we assign to them predicates like ‘ think- able’ because they will sometime actually exist. RZ 244 COMMENTARY Chapter 3 defends the notion of the possible in distinction from the actual ; chapter 4 defends the notion of the impossible. 1046 a9. ofov ot Meyapixot, Apart from this passage we have no information about Megaric views on possibility earlier than those of Diodorus Cronus (ob. 307 B. c.). Diodorus in his famous xvptevor. Adyos used the principles that ‘everything that is past is necessarily true ‘(an Aristotelian dictum, E.N. 1139» 4-9, Rhet. 1418* 3-5) and that ‘on what is possible nothing impoattle follows’ (the criterion of the possible stated in this chapter, 10472 24-26) to disprove a third principle ‘ that may be pos- sible which neither is nor will be true’ and to prove instead that ‘nothing is possible which neither is nor will be true’. In this he gives up (presumably in view of Aristotle’s arguments in this chapter, the original Megarian position that ‘nothing is possible which zs not true’, Maier maintains (Archiv f. Gesch. d. Phil. xiii. 31) that Diodorus’ own position is directed against Aristotle’s statement (10478) otf Kove dvvardv tr dv elvan yevéoOar py etvar pyd éceoOar.

Diodorus, with Aristotle, must have been attacking thinkers who interpreted the possible so widely that the impossible disappeared (1047) 5). On Diodorus cf. also Ritter and Preller § 295, Zeller ii 1. 269. The Megarian paradox was probably reached by a very simple piece of reasoning, natural for followers of Parmenides, ‘ A thing is what it is, and therefore cannot be-what-it-is-not’. The answer is equally simple. A thing cannot be what it is not, but it can become what it is not now. ‘Can’ refers always to the future, and it is no contradiction to say that what a thing is not now it can be in the future. ‘Can’ means that some of the conditions of the event are now present, and that if certain others are added the event will take piace Aristotle’s answer, however, is more elaborate. His method is to point out the disastrous consequences of the Megarian doctrine. 34. For ot7’ answered by épotws 8€ cf.

Considered as a definition of duvardv, this statement would evidently be circular and therefore worthless. But it does not claim to be a definition.

Aristotle gives the same criterion of the évdeyduevoy in An. Pr. 32° 18, Phys. 2431, as he here gives for the duvardv, and in such passages as An. Pr. 19% 10, 13, 15, 21, An.

Yet évépyea is not a movement towards something other than itself; this is the difference between it and xivyous. For the most part Aristotle uses the words as exact synonyms, Cf. Bz. dndex 253°46—254%12. Yet in A. 6, 7, where God is viewed as the prime mover of the universe, He is called évepyeta, activity, but in 8. 10747 36, where the immateriality and per- fection of His being is insisted on, He is described as évreA€xera, One would expect évredéyea to be derived from an adjective évredexys, AS vovvéexea is from vovvexys. But the existence of the word évredexys in the time of Aristotle is doubtful. In Pl. Legg. 905 £3 the manuscripts read évreAeyds, but Stobaeus gives évdeArcxas, which suits the context much better. In De Gen, ef Corr. 336% 17, 246 COMMENTARY b 32 évredexds, evredexn, though read by some manuscripts, give no suitable sense. In Theophr.,C. P. ii. 11. 10, Vv.

Mus. 1884. 169- 208, put forward the view that Aristotle-in_one of his dialogues ascribed to the soul, as Plato had done, évdeAdyeva, continuous move- ment, and that he later invented the word évreAéyeca by a modification of évdedéxeua in order to express the change in his view about the soul. Diels, in Zestschr. fiir Vergl. Philol. x\vii. 200-3, success- fully controverts this view, and shows that évreAeyys is a correctly formed equivalent to 76 évreAés eXwv, ‘having perfection’. evredys, though not found at all in Plato, and only once in Aristotle, is not uncommon in Greek of the period. It is not necessary to suppose, as Diels seems to do, that the word évreAexys existed in Aristotle’s time ; he may have formed the abstract noun directly from ro évredés €xov or possibly from évreAGs éxov. The only other compound of évredys seems to be évreAdpuc bos, | Dem.] 1212. 12, ‘receiving pay in full’. gl. ouvTiWenevn. Diels feels a difficulty about the word, and pro- poses ovvrewopevy, Citing 1050? 23 asa parallel. But it is only in the active voice that Aristotle uses ovrreivew in this sense. ovvrieuevn implies that Aristotle was in the habit of connecting the words évépyeva and évreAéxeva together in his lectures, and such phrases as «is ravrov Baoiréa Kat ripavvov ovveGewev (Pl.

The potencies that come by practice or learning are acquired by previous exercise ; those that are innate or are passive are net. 35. Irrational potencies must result in action and being acted on when the agent and the patient meet in the way appropriate to their potency. 104887. Rational potencies need not so result; since they are potencies for contrary results, if they were actualized necessarily they would produce contrary results at the same time, which is impossible. There must be something else that determines which result is to take place; this will be desire or will. Whichever action the agent decisively desires, that it will do, when it meets the patient in the appropriate way. 15. Its potency is conditional on the patient’s being present and in a certain state. (We need not add ‘and on the absence of external hindrance’; that is implied by the positive conditions of the potency.) 21. The possibility of doing contraries at the same time is excluded, even if one simultaneously wants to do them both. 1047 gr. Aristotle begins the chapter with a threefold classifica- tion of dvvdeis, into those that are inborn, those acquired by habit, and those acquired by learning, The latter two are then (1. 34) coupled together and opposed to the first, Aristotle then (1048 2) ©. 4. 10472 1o— 5. 10484 24 249 reverts to the distinction stated in ch, 2 (chs, 3 and 4 on the Megarian heresy have been something of a digression) between rational and irrational powers, It is clear that he means to identify the inborn powers with the irrational and to include éca: et as well as doa Adyw under the rational, This implies that éos includes a certain amount of Aoyos, or the possession of a plan of action, as indeed it does, whether it be a comparatively mechanical dexterity such as that of rd avdeiy (1. 32) or a moral character (Z. J, ii, 1) that is being acquired by habituation. 33- Tas pev dvdykn mpoevepynoavtas exew. This apparent paradox is explained in £.V, 1105? 17-18. (1) To become ‘ypapparuxds you must have done ypapatixoy 7, but you need not have done it ypappartikds, i.e. with knowledge. (2) In the moral sphere there is a still greater difference between the activity that precedes the ééis and that which flows from it, In the laiter the agent must act (a) with know- ledge, (4) choosing the action, and. for its own sake, (c) being in a firm and unchangeable condition of mind. The activities which establish the eéis have not any of these characteristics. Aristotle does not, however, show how actions done in ignorance and not from the right motive can establish a ééis of acting with knowledge and from the right motive ; he simply takes it from common experience that they do, A more abstract explanation of the paradox is given in 1049>35—1050# 2. It is characteristic of all yéveous that of what is coming into being some part must have already come to be. Therefore he who is learning must already have some of the knowledge in question ; knowledge expands out of given knowledge. 34.

Actuality distinguished from potency and from motion (ch. 6). 1048225. We now pass fromthe potency relative to movement, to actuality ; we shall at the same time discover another kind of potency, which has really been the object of our search. go. Actuality means the presence of a thing not potentially like that of the Hermes in the block of wood, or of the half-line in the whole, or of knowledge in the man who is not contemplating truth. 35. Our meaning can be seen by induction and analogy; definition must not be always demanded. Actuality is to potency as the waking to the sleeping, &c. »6. It is related either as movement to potency or as substance to matter. g. Potency and actuality are different in the case of the infinite, the void, and similar entities from what they are in the case of the seeing, the walking, &c. The infinite does not exist potentially in the sense that it will ever actually have separate existence; it exists potentially only for knowledge. The fact that division does not cease implies that the activity of division exists potentially, but not that the infinite exists separately. 18. Since all actions which have a limit are means, not ends, they are not really actions, or not complete ones; that in which the end is present is an action. 2g. Thus at the same time one is seeing and has seen, is thinking and has thought, is knowing and has known, but it is not true that one at the same time is learning and has learnt, is being cured and has been cured. 28. The latter are movements, the former activities or actualities, Every movement is incomplete. 35.

A science should at the outset define allits terms (Az. Post. 76" 32), but the same is not true of philosophy.

Potency or actuality, like being, unity, and good, is one only kar’ dvaAoyiav, and we must be content to grasp the analogy and see the nature of the universal term by studying the instances of it. It is beside the mark to criticize Aristotle for not succeeding in defining terms like potentiality and actuality, or for bringing out the nature of each by referring to the other. b4. ds todro év TodTw answers tO as otcia mpds Twa vAnV |. 9; as ToUTo ...

At one time Aristotle in- cludes évépyea in xivnows (het. 1412%9); at another he includes kivnois in évépyera (Phys. 201 31, De An. 4316, LE. NV. 1154? 27); at another he speaks of the two as mutually exclusive (1048? 28). xivyous is said to be an éevepyeia but dredjs (Phys. 201» 31), or to differ from evépyeia because it is dreAns (104829). The variations of language need not disturb us. «ivyows and évépyeia are species of something wider for which Aristotle has no name, and for which he uses now the name of one species, now that of the other. The difference is brought out as well in ll. 18-35 as anywhere in Aristotle. To the test of an évepyela, aS against a xivnows which he there offers, viz. that of an activity we may say that we are doing it and have done it at the same time, he adds in the £7Azcs another, that we cannot be said éevepyeiv quickly or slowly, though we may be quick or slow in passing into the state of évépye (11732). Cf. also K. 1065>14—1066%7, 10663 17-26 and notes. 252 COMMENTARY g-17. On the infinite cf. PAys. iii, 4-8, esp. 6-8, on the void Phys. iv. 6-9. Aristotle’s views about the infinite are briefly as follows: Exten- sion is not infinite except in the sense that it is inexhaustible, and it is not inexhaustible except in the sense that it is. inexhaustible by one particular method, that of division. If you take half of it, then a fourth, : I : I ‘ : and so on, or in general —of it, then — of it, and so on, you will never 4 n exhaust it. But the same can be said of any finite part of space. If y wiigh on the other hand you take — of the whole of space, then ~ again; and a n so on, you wz// exhaust it if you go on long enough. Space is thus dreipov Kata diaipecw but not xara mpdoobecw, infinitely divisible but not infinite (206 7-13). Number on the other hand is deipov xara apooGeow—not in the sense that an infinite number exists actually, but in the sense that a number larger than any hitherto thought of can be thought of; but it is not drepov xara Siaipeow, for in dividing it we come ultimately to the unit, which limits number in the downward direction. And its infinity does not persist but is always coming into being. Time is infinite both card diacpeow and card tpdcGecw, both infinitely divisible and infinite. But its infinity, like that of number, does not persist but is always coming to be. Aristotle does not in the PAysics explicitly make out any parallelism between the infinite and the void: But his doctrine about the void (Phys. 217% 21—» 28) is akin to his doctrine about the infinite ; it is that though we can suppose matter rarer than any assigned matter, there is no space in which there is no matter at all. Cf. his conception of the dense and rare as stated in De Gen. ef Corr. 326” 31—327°1 (taken with what precedes). There are no atoms and interspaces, no pores, only a stuff varying intensively. Aristotle’s view of matter in this re- spect has been compared by Prof. Joachim (ed. of De Gen. ef Corr. 124) to Kant’s view of ‘ das Reale’ in the ‘ Anticipations of Perception’. Q-I2.

This passage occurs in most of the manuscripts (including A>), and a paraphrase of it occurs in a good manuscript of Alexander (F). It is omitted by EJTT and Bessarion, and is very corrupt in the other manuscripts. But it contains sound Aristotelian doctrine and terminology, and is quite appropriate to the context, and there is no apparent motive for its introduction if it were spurious, so that on the whole it seems safe to treat it as genuine.

Tl té éote kat motor, cf. Z. ro4r®6n. When ts one thing the potency of another ? (ch. 7). 1048 37. When does a thing exist potentially? Earth is not potentially a man till it has become seed, and perhaps not then, just as not everything is capable of being healed, but only the potentially healthy. . 1049? 5. (1) In artistic production one thing is said to be potentially another if (2) when the artist wishes, the actualization takes place if nothing external hinders, and if (4) nothing in the patient hinders ; that is potentially a house, in which there is nothing to prevent its becoming a house, and which needs no addition, subtraction, or change; and so in all cases where the source of the actualization is external. 13. (2) Where the source of the actualization is internal, one thing is potentially another if when nothing external hinders, the actualization takes place by the thing’s own nature. The seed is not yet potentially a man; for it must first fall into a certain material and be changed, as earth must become bronze in order to be potentially a statue. 18. When we say a thing is ‘of’ something else—as the casket is of wood or wooden, and the wood is earthen, and the earth is perhaps ‘of’ something else—that which it is ‘of’ is potentially (in the un- qualified sense) it; thus wood, not earth, is potentially a casket, is the matter of a casket. ©. 6. 1048 32 — 7, 10499 5 255 24. If there is something that is not ‘of’ anything else, it is prime matter, not being a ‘this’. Subjects or substrata differ by being or not being ‘ thises’ ; 29. (1) what underlies accidental attributes like ‘ musical’ is a sub- stance like ‘man’ (and he is called not music but musical, as the casket is called wooden) ; 34. but (2) where the predicate is a form or ‘this’, the ultimate substratum is matter. 36. Itis natural that the ‘ of’ or derivative form should be used with reference both to matter and to accidental attributes, for both are indefinite. Bz. argues that the insistence in this chapter on the fact that that which is potentially X is the sum of the proximate, not of the remote conditions of X, marks a difference between dvvapyis and vAy. vAn is primarily applicable to zmpurn vAn, the remote and absolutely un- formed matter ; dvvajus to the proximate conditions. This distinction does not, however, seem to be intended by Aristotle, for in his dis- cussion of matter he has similarly insisted on the importance of finding the proximate matter of a thing (H. 10441). dAy and dvvayis are constantly used without any trace of such a distinction (e. g. 1049* 23, 1o50°15, 627, A. 10712 10, N. 1088 1, 10g2* 3). 1049*2, dtov Hdyn yevytar omeppa.

But he is not taking account of his own view that the oé¢pya forms no part of the matter of the offspring but is its formal and efficient cause ; he writes as if he accepted the popular view which treated the male and female elements as uniting to form the matter of the offspring. He is merely illustrating a general principle; and in such cases he often -writes from the point of view of a common theory not his own. Cf.

Aristotle would then be illus- trating natural production (II. 1-3, 13-17) by artificial (Il. 3-12). But awomrep ovv occurs several times elliptically without any principal verb, a principal clause like ovrws éye kai év rovrors being understood. Cf.

Aristotle is evidently trying to determine the conditions under which A may be said to be potentially B. In ar#ste production A, the matter, has to be acted on by C, the artist, before it can become B, the product. Thus the dpos in this case“is as.follows: A is potenti- ally B when, if C wishes it and nothing external hinders, A becomes B, and when, further, nothing in A hinders (Il. 5-8). This he illustrates in detail in the case of the question ‘ What is potentially a house?’ (Il. 8-11), and finishes by saying that the same formulation applies to all cases of artistic production (ll rr, 12). In ma/ural production there is no artist involved; nature is an dpyi kwycews év aitd 7 ard. Thus here the dpos is simply that A is potentially B when, if nothing external hinders, A will of itself become B (ll. 13, 14).

This is the nearest approach in Aristotle to the use of rpary vAn in the sense of entirely formless matter. But even here it does not mean that, but matter with the minimum of form. If there is no material, x, out of which fire is made, so that it can be called x-en, then fire is first matter, but it will still have the definite character of fire. Cf. A. 101598 n. 27. ot ré8e tt odca. The sentence must be interpreted in the light of what follows in ll. 27-36. Aristotle there distinguishes the case in which the substratum is a ‘this’ from that in which it is not. The substratum of a zdfos is a ‘this’ or substance; the substratum of ©. 7. 104979 — 1049? 1 254 a substance is matter. An opposition is therefore wanted between tAy and 76d tu Or ovata, and we should read od réd€ Tt odaoa OF od TddE TL kal ovata. 28. Apelt must be right in reading xa’ of. Alexander, who reads kaGoXov, has no reasonable explanation to give of it, and Bz, says ‘76 kafoXov cur h. 1. comparetur cum substrato, equidem non intelligo’, With a6’ ob we get a good sense—‘ the subject or substratum (kad ex- plicative) differs in different cases by being or not being a this’. For dvadéper in this sense with a singular subject cf. A. 1016424, Meteor. 34124. xaddov was probably introduced by a copyist who thought that ‘the subject and the substratum differ’ must mean that they differ from one another (which would be absurd). But Aristotle would almost certainly have expressed that by dvadéper rod troxeypevov. I have found only two instances in Aristotle of the things which are said to differ being coupled by kai (An. Pr. 57% 33, An. Post. 77% 14). The distinction which is drawn in ]]. 29-36 occurs also in Z. 1038? 5, H. 10449, and is there expressed as a difference not between the substratum and something else but between two kinds of substratum. What precedes xat 7d izoxeiyevov, then, must be a synonym of 70 broxeipevoy, and 7d Ka6’ od is exactly what we want. The same error has been made by the manuscripts in I. 1007* 34 and in Sext. Emp. 721, 2 (Bekker). The difference which Aristotle here points out is that between two levels at which the cleavage between substratum and attributes may be made. You may distinguish accidental attributes from their subject, and in this case the subject is a substratum containing certain essential characteristics ; or again you may distinguish the essential charac- teristics from the substratum to which they belong, and in this case the substratum is bare unqualified matter. 35. For the description of the form as 168 tu cf. A. t017) 25 n. 36- 2. kat dp0Gs ...ddpiota. Aristotle is struck by the fact that we not only (1), if A is the matter of B, describe B by an adjective derived from the name of A, but also (2), if C is an accidental attri- bute of D, describe D by an adjective derived (as he suggests) from the name of C. This coincidence is, he thinks, natural, because A, dAn, and C, a6, are both indefinite. Aristotle often, as here, says that we describe things rapwvvpws by words derived from the names of qualities. Cf. Ca¢. 1812, 613, 10% 28, Zop. 111° 33-4. He can hardly have thought that the word Aevxdv was derived from the word Aevkdrns. What he means rather is that when we say a man is white we are not saying that he is a certain entity, but that he is qualified by the possession of a certain entity, whiteness. ‘ White’, though linguistically simpler and earlier than ‘ whiteness ’, stands for a more complex meaning, viz. ‘ qualified by whiteness ’, just as ‘ wooden’ stands for a more complex meaning than ‘wood’. by.

For (2) could only show that the potentiality needs, for its actuahzation, another actuality, whereas what Aristotle claims in ll. 29-32 is that it presupposes, as a condition of its exzstence, another actuality. At first sight it looks as if there were the same confusion as seems to exist at ]. 24. But Aristotle’s meaning is that though a bare dvvapus of building may exist in a man before he has done any building, such a man is not an oixodduos. Being an oikoddpos is not a bare dvvayus but a egis, and this presupposes evepyeto.. ; 35- Add introduces Aristotle’s answer to the sophistical objection, and should, as Bz. saw, have a full stop before it. 36. ev tots wept Kwyoews. For this asa mode of reference to the last half of the Physzcs, cf. De Caelo 272° 30, 275 21, 299% 10, De Gen. et Corr. 318% 3, De Sensu 44519. The particular reference here is to vi. 6. The proof there is as follows: ‘That which moves must move in every part of the time which is the immediate or proper time of the movement. For if it moved only in some part of the time, that part would be the immediate or proper time of the move- ment. Now if a thing has moved a certain distance in a certain time, a thing which began to move at the same time and moved at the same speed must have moved half the distance in half the time. ‘Therefore the original thing must have moved half the distance in half the time. There- fore that which is moving must have moved. Further (an alternative proof, 237% 3-11) it must have moved in each part of the time during which it has been moving. Therefore, since time is infinitely divisible, everything that is changing must have undergone an infinite number of changes. Further (an alternative proof, 2374 11-17) that which changes continuously must either change or have changed év érwodv (237214: one must not say ‘in each part of the time’, for the moment, which Aristotle proceeds to speak about, is not a part but a section (roy) of the time). Now it cannot change ina moment. Therefore it must have changed at each moment, and must therefore have undergone an infinite number of changes, sincé there is an infinite number of moments in anytime’. So far Aristotle has said that the thing which is moving must have moved, not, what he says in the present passage, that a part of it must have moved. But he goes on to draw this distinction in the case of yéveois, though not of kivyows generally (237>11; the passage 2372 17— 9 may be omitted). ‘A house which is coming into being has not already come into being; but its foundations have.’ The distinction drawn in the Physics seems to be due to an am- biguity in the word yéyove. It would be absurd to say that what is coming into being must have come into being; and Aristotle there- fore contents himself with saying that a part of it must have come into being. But what really answers to the phrase ‘what is moving must have moved’ is ‘what is coming into being must have Jdcen coming into being’ (for ‘has come into being’ implies a completion 262 COMMENTARY which ‘has moved’ does not), and here no distinction between part and whole need be introduced. Aristotle in the present passage unnecessarily introduces in the case of movement the distinction which in the Physics is drawn only in the case of becoming. Aristotle’s application here of the thesis established in the Physics is as follows: It will follow that if an émurrypn is coming into being, part of it must have already come into being. Thus the sophistical objection, that if the Suvames pera Adyou are acquired by évépyea a man who has not yet acquired an art must yet be supposed capable of acting artistically, is met by the answer that he has the art to some extent. In other words the faculty is not produced by actuality but transformed into actuality by it. This brings the fact in question under the general principle é« rod duvdme dvros ylyverae 76 evepyela. Ov bd évepyeia dvros (1. 24), but it really gives up what Aris- totle is trying to prove, that actuality precedes potentiality in time. There is the same confusion which we have observed in the note on Il. 24-25. 1050* 4-b 2. What Aristotle tries to prove in this section is that actuality is prior to potentiality in substance, i.e. is more real or more substantial. ‘The general principle on which he bases his proof is that what is posterior in generation is prior in form and reality. More definitely, actuality is prior in reality because the actually existent has reached its form while the potentially existent has not. The potentially existent or undeveloped has features unintelligible in themselves, which can be understood only as the prophecy of attri- butes which will be found in it when developed. It still lacks part of its nature; it is matter without form, and therefore not primary substance. 4. At first sight it seems inconsistent to maintain (1) that actuality is prior to potentiality in genesis (1. 3), (2) that it is prior in substance because it is posterior in genesis (1. 4). But with the qualifications with which Aristotle makes these statements (in the whole context) they are quite compatible. 7-10. The reasoning is somewhat complicated: (1) The rédos of a yryvopevor is its dpxy, its origin (that this is the underlying meaning of ém dpynv Badier.. . kat TédAos, ‘moves to an &pxn Which is its 7éXos’, is shown by the fact that Aristotle subjoins a proof that the rédos is the dpyy, viz.: The ob évexa is the apy7. The réAos is the ob evexa). (2) The évépyea is the réAos. Therefore (3) the évépyea is the dpyy, and therefore prior to the dvvapus. 14. 7% dtu oddev Sdovrar Oewpety is excessively difficult, and one would be tempted to regard it as a gloss (so Diels, according to the editor of Bz.’s translation), if one saw what the gloss meant.

Aristotle has said that matter exists potentially just because in certain circumstances it will proceed into its formed state (efSos). But, he now says, the principle that potentiality exists only in relation to a possible realization is equally true when there is no matter to be impressed with a form, no material object to be produced, but the end is a movement.

Alexander tells us that Pauson made a Hermes about which it was hard to say whether it was carved in the ordinary way on the surface of a stone, or enclosed in a transparent substance. ‘How could it be “ without”, when the surface looked perfectly smooth like that of a mirror, or “ within”, when the surface showed no trace of joinings?’ This account is, however, certainly wrong. In the first place Pauson was not a sculptor but a painter, and in the second place the kind of sculpture Alexander mentions is not known and is most improbable. Pauson was apparently ad- dicted to trick pictures. Cf. the story told by Ps.-Luc. (Demosth. Encom. 24), Aelian (Var. Hist. xiv. 15), and Plutarch (de Pythiae Orac. 5. 3968) of his picture of a horse running, which by being turned upside down was made to represent a horse rolling on its back.

Now a zotyous like building is the actuality both of the builder and of the house (Phys. 2024 13-16), and resides, ina sense, in both. But that in which it most properly and directly resides is that which exactly answers to it, which comes into being with it and exists simultaneously with it.

Aristotle points out, as against a materialistic view, that happiness is in the soul, is an activity of it, and therefore does not depend primarily on the goods of the body, nor on external goods (cf.

The new argument is:— The eternal is prior in substance to the perishable (assumed here, but cf. B. 9995, Z. 1032 30, A. 6, 7). Eternal things exist actually, perishable things potentially (proved in Jl. 8-18; 1, 18—10512 state corollaries of this, which form a digression). Therefore the actual is prior to the potential. Therefore (on the principle that what belongs to the better is better than what belongs to the worse, Zop. 116” 12) activity is prior to potentiality.

Now the eternal can exist without the perishable and the perishable cannot exist without the eternal, and though Aristotle does not explicitly put the matter in this way (ex- cept incidentally in 1. 19), it seems that this is the ‘stricter’ sense of ‘prior in substance’ which he has in mind. 7. €or 8 obey Suvduer atSiov.

Aristotle repeats here the general statement (cf. 1. 8) that all potentialities are potentialities for either of two contradictories. He then subdivides. (1) Things which in virtue of a Aéyos can act in one way can also act in the contrary way (2 68/ = ‘to move not thus’, not ‘not to move thus’). (2) Irrational potentialities are potentiali- ties for either of two contradictories according as they are present or not. Thus under (2) Aristotle is not referring to the sense explained above (ll. 8-12) in which potentialities are potentialities for either of two contradictories according as certain conditions are present or not (Alexander interprets it so, but the Greek will not bear this interpre- tation), but is saying that they are potentialities for either of two con- tradictory results according as they themselves are present or not.

Similarly a bad actuality is worse than the potency, and posterior to it, and therefore evil cannot be an actual substance existing apart from bad things. Therefore among eternal things there is nothing evil, 21, Geometrical relations are discovered by actualization, i.e. by dividing the given figures by lines that before existed potentially. Cf. the proof that the angles of a triangle = two right angles, or that the angle in a semicircle is a right angle. What exists potentially is dis- covered by being actualized. The reason is that the geometer’s thinking is an actuality. Thus potency comes from actuality (and therefore the knowledge comes by action), though the actuality is later in genesis than its own potency.

But the operation here described is that of the mathema- tictan ; the sense required is ‘ the constructions which exist potentially are discovered by being actualized’ (perducta ad actum potentia, Bz.), and this sense demands dydmeva. Cf. Z. NM. 1153°12 rav els tHv Tedeiwow ayomevov THS PITEWS. (2) The manuscript reading airiov 8& ori vonow 4 évépyera is diffi- cult. ‘The potentially existing constructions are discovered by being brought into actuality; the reason is that the actuality is an act of thought.’ This identifies the actuality of the figure with the actuality of thought, while ll. 32, 33 seem to distinguish them. Aristotle has committed himself to the view that vdénous actualizes the figures, but it is doubtful whether he would identify the actuality of the figures with the vonots. True, ro voovpevov and 6 voids are identical in the case of dca ph tAnv exer (A. 107573, cf. De An. 43073). But mathematical objects do contain vA, even if it be vont vAyn (Z. 103611, » 35, K. 105915). They are not the pure forms which alone Aristotle identifies with the apprehension of them. Nor does the manuscript reading seem to be that of Alexander, though it is impossible to say exactly what lies behind his words: gavepdv dpa ote Suvdper dvta Kal évepyyjoas rept ata 6 vods ebpicketar’ adtos yap eorw 6 aitis 6 dywv atta eis evepyeay. voyows 7 evepyera may have arisen from 7 voyous evéepyeia (cf.

Aristotle, then, brings the case under his general rule é« rod duvaet dvros yiyverar TO evepyeia dv bd evepyeia dvros (1049 24); the poten- tial constructions are actualized by the actuality of thought.

ALBERT'S COLLEGE LIBRARY @. 9. 10518 32-33 273 Alexander’s paraphrase. For confusion between éoré and dr due to tachygraphy cf. Bast 810. 32-33. Aristotle has said that potentiality comes from actuality ; he now guards against misinterpretation. ‘But it is only in a sense that actuality is prior to potentiality, for the individual actuality is posterior in generation to the corresponding individual potentiality” Cf. 104919. In his view, the potentiality of the construction presupposes the activity of thought but precedes the actuality of the construction. For a similar elliptical use of ydp cf. Zop. 11927, 122> 39, De An, 407% 23, 409224. The emendation of]. 30 gives point to this clause, which Bz. found unintelligible. We are now in a position to see the object of the whole passage ll. 21-33. Aristotle’s purpose is to enforce his doctrine of the priority of actuality by two considerations with regard to 7a wabnparicd. (1) It is only by being actualized that they are known. In their case therefore, as in all others (1049 17), actuality is prior to potentiality tH yvdoe. And (2), as in all other cases (1049> 17—1050® 3), though their potentiality precedes their actuality in time, it presupposes another actuality, that of apprehension. The passage is of great importance because it emphasizes the significance of the intuition of the construction for the understanding of the proof (idovru d7Aor, ll. 26, 28). It thus corrects Aristotle’s ten- dency in the Organon to treat mathematical proof as if it were simply a process of deducing conclusions syllogistically from definitions and trobéces, and anticipates Kant’s doctrine of the synthetic nature of mathematical procedure. But it cannot be said that Aristotle works this out clearly. The nature of truth (ch. 10). ” 1051* 34. ‘Being’ and ‘ not being’ are used with reference (1) to the categories, (2) to potency and actuality, (3) to truth and falsity. Truth means thinking that to be divided or united which is divided or united, respectively; error means being in a state contrary to the facts. b5. When is truth present? You are not white because we truly think you are, but v7ce versa. g. (1) Some things are always united, others always divided, others may be either. Being is being-united ; not being is not-being-united. About things which may be either united or divided the same opinion is at different times false and true; not so with regard to things that must be as they are. 17. (2) In the case of incomposites what is being and truth? For them, being is not being-united, and truth cannot be what it was in the case of composites. 2573.2 T 274 COMMENTARY 22, (a) Truth in this case is contact and assertion (as distinct from affirmation). Ignorance can only mean in this case non-contact ; error is not possible (except per acczdens) regarding what a thing is or an incomposite substance. Such substances all exist actually, not potentially ; otherwise they would have come into being and perished, but there is nothing out of which being itself can have come to be. 30. About all things that are essences and actualities, then, we cannot err; either we know them or we do not. But we may inquire what they are, whether they are such-and-such. 33. (2) The Jeng which answers to truth does not in this case mean being united; if the thing exists at all it exists in a certain way, Truth means knowing such objects; no error about them is possible, but only ignorance—not, however, ignorance analogous to blindness, which would be a complete absence of the knowing faculty. 1052* 4, (Return to(r)). Regarding the unchangeable, if we believe it to be unchangeable, we cannot mistakenly suppose that it some- times has a certain attribute and sometimes not; but we may suppose one member of a class to have an attribute and another not. About a single member we cannot make even this mistake ; whether we are right or wrong, it is implied that the facts are eternal. This chapter, dealing with truth and falsity, has little to do with the rest of book @, which treats of potency and actuality. _Schwegler and Christ therefore treat it as the work of an editor. Bz. and Bullinger point out that in view of the enumeration of the senses of ‘ being’ in A. 7 it is only natural that after discussing the chief category, sub- stance, and the distinction of potency and actuality, Aristotle should go on to discuss truth and falsity ; and that the chapter is specially in place here because ch. 8 has introduced us to the simple and eternal substances which are évépyevau avev Suvdjews, and are now described as the objects with which one kind of truth is concerned (1051 27), Jaeger thinks that the chapter is by Aristotle, but was inserted here simply because there was some room at the end of the roll on which Z-®. 9 was written. Between this view and that of Bz. it is difficult to decide ; that the chapter is the work of Aristotle there is no reason to doubt; E. 1027428 has prepared us to find such a discussion in the Metaphysics. 1051? 34-2.

Jaeger suggests that Aristotle may mean merely that the copulative ‘is’ of the judge- ment is the commonest usage of the verb ‘to be’, but it is improbable that kupusrara dv should mean this. The words are probably a gloss, or should go after pevy in 2 34. It will be seen that there is a good deal of divergence among the manuscripts at this point. If retained, xypustara dv must go with dAyGes 7 Weddos, ‘that which is true or false in the most proper sense of those terms’, in contrast to truth and falsity rept ra dovvOera, which Aristotle treats of later (l. 17—1052°4).

It seems probable, however, that grammatically 76 pev. . . etvar is the apodosis, though logically it only prepares the way for what follows. 17—1052° 4. There is much obscurity in Aristotle’s references to truth and falsity with regard to ra dotvOera, Ta drAG, 7d ddcaiperov. In BE. 4 and De Ax. iii. 6, as well as here, it is contrasted with truth and falsity with regard to composites, which is clearly truth and falsity of propositions. Aristotle seems to reason as follows. What is true in the ordinary sense is a judgement in which two things (a subject and an attribute) are thought to be united which are united in reality, or two things to be separated which are separated in reality. But if we think of two things as united, must we not first think of each thing by itself, and in this thinking is there not a possibility of truth and of error? Aristotle’s strict theory is that there is not (I. 2, E. 1027” 19, Cat, 2°8, De An. 430% 26); that the only alternatives are, to appre- hend them or not to apprehend them. He says in this chapter clearly enough that there can be no falsity with regard to them (I. 25), but he does not say as clearly as he might that there can be no truth either. That which could not possibly be false cannot without tauto- logy, and therefore absurdity, be said to be true, just as ‘true know- ledge’ is an absurd expression because there could not be false knowledge. But instead of saying this he says that truth 2 another T2 276 COMMENTARY than the ordinary sense is possible with regard to incomposites (1. 24). The fault, however, is only in the expression; the distinction is probably clear enough in his ‘mind. But what he means by dovvOera and the analogous expressions is not equally clear. In the De Anzma, instead of discussing terms in general as distinct from propositions, he discusses three kinds of object which are dévaipera in quite another sense. (1) 76 Kata 7d mocbv dd.aiperov evepyeia (430) 7-14), i.e. things like lines, which though quantitatively divisible are not quantitatively divided. (2) 70 TO elder advaiperov (ib. 14-20), the zufima species, (3) 7d Kara 7d rocov ddiaiperov Suvdper (430° 20-26), that which is quantitatively indivisible, like points (or, we might add, moments). Of these three only the second is relevant to the discussion of the present passage, and unfortunately the few lines devoted to it are so obscure and the text so doubtful that they need illumination rather than afford it. In the present passage Aristotle seems for the most part to be reason- ing from the bare notion of an ‘incomposite’ as opposed to a ‘ com- posite’, without asking himself very definitely what he means by an ‘incomposite’. From the very fact that it is simple, it follows that there cannot be truth or falsity about it of the same kind as truth or falsity about composites. His primary meaning seems to be that if you say A is B you must attach a definite meaning to your terms ; you must know about A, and about B, ‘what it is’ (I. 25 f.). The alternative to knowing what it is is not having a false opinion about what it is, but simply not being ‘in touch’ with it at all. But from this general position about the terms of any judgement Aristotle passes to a point which he distinguishes from this (6uotws dé kal xrd., 1.26). The terms of a judgement are, so far as their function in the judgement goes, simple, but they may be in themselves complex terms, and again they need not be substances, and if substances, they need not be simple substances. ‘ White’, ‘incommensurate’, ‘ dia- gonal’ are not substances; ‘wood’ is a substance concrete of form and matter. What has been said of all terms with reference to their place in judgement may be said without qualification of ‘incom- posite substances’, the things which are free from any admixture of potentiality and therefore eternal, which are pure forms (‘just what it is to be something’) (Il. 26-31), i.e. God and the intelligences which move the spheres. 20. Bywater proposed 16 Neukév (76) EUXov , ‘ the proposition that the wood is white’, so as to get a phrase of the same form as 76 dovppetpov tiv dudperpov, and the addition seems to be necessary. 23. Td pev adybes 7H edSos is answered by 70 dé eivai in 1. 33. Truth and falsity as states of mind are discussed in Il. 23-33; ‘ being in the sense of being true’ and ‘ not-being in the sense of being false’, i.e. the objective counterparts of truth and falsity as states of mind, are discussed in 1. 33-1052%1. 7d dAnOes is explained in ll. 24, 25; instead of explaining what 7d weddos is in the case of incomposites, @. 10. 1051) 20-25 277 Aristotle points out that there is no Weddos or dary with regard to them but only dyvowa (1. 25). 24.

Its implications are (1) the absence of any possibility of error, which characterizes the apprehen- sion of the tdva aio Oyra. (cf.

We have not now to do with the question whether A is thus, i.e. conjoined with B, or otherwise, but simply with the question whether A is (in which case it can only be A) or is not. This interpretation is much to be preferred to that of Bz., who deletes the comma after dv in 1. 35 and supposes the transition to incomposites not to occur till 10521 «i d¢ pi ovrws. Christ’s eirep dv ovTws, éorw gives no good sense. Aristotle’s carelessness of language has made his meaning seem more obscure than it really is. In ll. 22, 23 he distinguishes the two modes of being (sc. of composites and of incomposites) from the corresponding two senses in which apprehension of them may be said to be true or false. He has treated the question of truth in ll. 23-33, and in 33—105 2° 4 he is treating the question of being. But instead of saying ‘the being of the object which answers to the truth of the apprehension’ he says (I. 33) ‘the being in the sense of truth’; and instead of saying that the composite is, if it is compounded, and is not, if it is not compounded, he says (Il. 34, 35) that it is true if it is compounded and false if it is not, and then complicates matters still ®. 10. 1051» 29 — 10524 10 279 further by recurring in 10524 1-4 to the question of the apprehension of incomposites, which has already been treated in 1051» 23-33. It would be easy to argue for a double recension, but Aristotle seems to be often so careless of form that that hypothesis is not necessary. 1052* 1-4. With regard to incomposites there is not error but only nescience, but Aristotle points out that it is not a nescience com- parable to blindness, which necessarily shuts off the blind man from knowledge of a whole set of facts. What would answer to this would be a complete absence of the power of apprehending essences, but what we have to do with here is simply failure to apprehend certain particular essences. 4-11. From the treatment of dovvGera Aristotle now recurs to certain ovv@era, viz. ra. dxivyta, the things which if they ever have an attribute have it always (i.e. those which det ovyxerras Kal ddvvara SiaipeOjvar, 10519). About 7a dovvOera there can be no arary; about those ovv@era which are dxivyra one form of azary is impossible, provided that we realize that they are dxivnta. If we realize that a triangle is axivyrov we cannot err by supposing that it sometimes has and sometimes has not its angles = two right angles. It may, however, be the case that some members of a class of dxivynta have a certain attribute and others have not, so that one might suppose either (wrongly) that no even number is prime, or (rightly) that one (the number two) is prime and the ethers are not. If we are thinking not of a class of dxivyra but of a single dxivyrov even this source of error is removed ; whether we be right or wrong, we shall make our judgement on the understanding that the facts are a/ways so.

BOOK | The meaning of unity (ch. 1). 105215. There are four main senses of unity—excluding acciden- tal unity. The ‘one’ is (1) the continuous, especially what is con- tinuous by nature, not by mere contact or colligation, and more especially that whose motion is indivisible and simple. 280 COMMENTARY 22. Unity belongs even more to (2) wholes which have a definite form, especially to natural wholes which have in themselves the cause of their continuity, i.e. which have a motion indivisible in place and time. Thus that which naturally moves with the primary kind of movement, i.e. circular locomotion, is a~single magnitude in the primary sense, 29. Further, those things are one the definition or thought of which is one, i.e. which are indivisible (3) in number (viz. individuals) or (4) in form (i.e. for knowledge)—that which gives substances unity. Thus ‘the one’ means ‘the naturally continuous’, ‘the whole’, ‘the individual’, or ‘the universal’. All of these are one either because their motion is one or because the thought or definition of them is one. bx, The questions ‘ What sorts of things are said to be one?’ and ‘What is it to be one?’ ‘are different. Each of the things we have named is one, but to be one, while it sometimes means to be one of these things, sometimes means something else which is the more literal meaning, though these others express better the significance of the term. 7. Similarly we must distinguish the questions ‘ What is the ultimate physical element?’ and ‘ What is it to be an element?’ 14. To be one is to be indivisible, being essentially a this and separate in place, in form, or in thought, or to be whole and indivisible, but above all to be the first measure of a class, and especially of quantity, from which it has been extended to the other cases. 2o. A measure is that by which quantity is known; this is eithera unit or a number, and a number is known by means of a unit, so that all quantity is known by means of a unit ; hence the unit is the starting- point of number as number. 24. Hence in other cases also that by which a thing is primarily known is a measure, and the measure of everything is a unit—in length, breadth, depth, weight, speed (the last two terms applying to what is light or slow as well as to what is heavy or fast). gi. In all these cases there is a measure and starting-point which is something one and indivisible in quality or in quantity. 35. An accurate measure is one which cannot be taken from or added to ; hence the measure of number is most accurate, for the unit is in every way indivisible. In other cases, since a large quantity can be added to or taken from without detection, men choose as measure the first thing which cannot be added to or taken from without detection. 1053* 8. Motion is measured by the quickest simple motion (i. e., in I. 1. 10527 15-27 281 astronomy, the motion of the heavens); similarly the quarter-tone is the measure in music, the letter in speech. 14. Sometimes there are more than one measure, e.g. in music, in speech, in incommensurate magnitudes. 18. The one is the measure in the sense that we learn what the essence of a thing consists of by dividing it either in quantity or in kind, The unit is indivisible either in all respects (like the numerical unit) or to sense (like the foot). 24. The measure is always akin to that which it measures ; e.g. the measure of units is a unit; we must not say that the measure of numbers is a number ; that would be like saying that the measure of units is units, for a number is a plurality of units. gi. We call knowledge and sensation the measure of things because we become acquainted with things by them, but really they are measured rather than measure. It is as if we learned our height by some one else measuring us. Protagoras says man is measure of all things, meaning ‘the man who knows’ or ‘ the man who perceives’ ; there is nothing remarkable in what he says. b4. Thus ‘one’, if we define it literally, means a measure, primarily of quantity, secondly of quality ; i.e. what is indivisible in quantity or in quality. 1052715. év tots wept Tod mooaxds, A.6.

(1) is expressly excluded in this chapter (1052* 18); (2d) is introduced as the primary meaning in 1052) 18. 27. cit... mpdtqv. Grammar requires us to translate ‘if anything 282 COMMENTARY by nature has a principle of movement which is the primary principle of the primary movement’. But it is hard to assign any definite mean- ing to ‘the primary principle’. It seems clear that rHs zpérys is explained by dopas and points to the fact that locomotion is the primary kind of movement, and that rjv_mpwryv is explained by KukAogopiav and points to the fact that circular‘motion is the primary kind of Zocomotion.

Locomotion is prior to the other kinds of change— change of size, of quality, of substance (generation and destruction), since a subject can have it without having the others (PAys. 260% 20— 261%26). Cf. Z. 1036’ gn. thy mpdéryv. Circular motion is prior to other kinds of motion because (on Aristotle’s view) it does not involve change of direction. This is equally true of motion in a straight line, but the latter is exposed to the objection that if it is to go on it ultimately requires infinite space (which Aristotle does not believe in); circular motion returns on itself and does not need infinite space (PAys. vili. 7). 28. toito mpAtov péyelos ey, i. e. a celestial sphere is the best instance of what is one by continuity. 29. Just as the continuous and the whole are akin, so are the other two main kinds of unity, 76 xa6’ exacrov and 76 xafodov; they are introduced as subdivisions of ra dv av 6 Adyos cis 7. The first two are one because their movement is indivisible, the last two because the thought of them is indivisible (1. 36). 33. 16 Tals ovclais aitvoy Tod évds, i.e. the essence. 35. It is rather surprising to find the fourth kind of unity described as ro xaOdAov; what Aristotle has said about it (1. 31) suggests only the infima species, the least universal of universals. A genus is one object of thought in the sense that it has a single definite nature ; it is not one in the sense that it is logically indivisible, and Aristotle seems here rather to confuse the two things. But he is right in recognizing the unity of a universal, whether genus or species, as one kind of unity. bz, Aristotle now introduces the distinction expressed in modern logic as that between extension and intension, or denotation and connotation. He has named four kinds of thing that are one; he now proposes to state the single connotation of the word ‘one’. This is ‘nearer to the word’, while the others are ‘nearer to its application’ (1. 6). |The connotation of ‘ one’ is ‘ indivisible’ (1. 16), or ‘ whole and indivisible’ (1. 17), or ‘first measure of a class, and primarily of quantity’ (1. 18). 7.

There can be little doubt that this refers to the two distinguished by Aristotle’s pupil Aristoxenus (i. 21), the enhar- monic, which was a quarter-tone, and the chromatic, which was one- third ofa tone. Aristotle ignores the hemiolian déec1s, mentioned in Aristox. ii. 51, which was three-eighths of a tone. Bz. thinks that the two diéces were the major semitone (éorop:)) and the minor semitone (Aciypa) recognized by Philolaus.

It is difficult in view of the order of the words to translate this ‘the diagonal and the side of the square are measured by two different measures’. It may be that the diagonal itself is said to be measured by two measures, i.e. that it is conceived as consisting of two parts, a part equal to the side, and a part which represents its excess over the side, and that these parts being incommensurate are said to be measured by different units.

Unity not a substance but a predicate coextensive with being (ch. 2). 1053" g. Is the one a substance, as the Pythagoreans and Plato say, or does some nature underlie it, e. g. (as the natural philosophers say) friendship, air, or the indefinite ? 16, (1) If, as we have said, no universal is a substance, and being is not an independent substance but a predicate merely, the same is true of the one; being and unity are the most universal of all predicated terms. Thus genera are not separately existing substances, and unity is not a genus, any more than being or substance is so, 24. (2) Since in qualities and in quantities ‘one’ is the attribute of something that underlies it, we must similarly in all the categories ask what the one is; it is never the whole nature of a thing to be or to be one. In colour the one is a colour (e. g. white), so that if the world consisted of colours, it would be a number, indeed, but a number of colours, and the one would be one something, 34. So too if the world consisted of tunes, articulate sounds, or rectilinear figures, it would be a number of quarter-tones, letters, or figures, and the one would be the quarter-tone, the vowel, or the triangle. 1054" 4.

The one and ¢he many are opposed in several senses—in one of them as the indivisible or undivided to the divisible or divided. The opposition is that of contrariety (involving as it does privation), not of contradiction nor of relation. 26. Unity is explained by reference to plurality, the indivisible by reference to the divisible, because the latter are more manifest to sense. 29. To the one belong the terms same, like, equal; to plurality the terms other, unlike, unequal. | Zhe same means (1) the same in number, (2) one both in definition and in number (in this sense you are the same with yourself), (3) one in definition (in this sense equal straight lines are the same—here equality is unity). bg. Things are “ke, (1) if, not being absolutely the same (i.e. without difference in their composite substance), they are the same in form (e.g, the larger square is like the smaller), (2) if they have the same form and do not differ in degree, (3) if they have the same attribute in different degrees, (4) if they have more attributes, or more of the obvious attributes, the same than different. 13. Other and unizke have a similar variety of meaning. Other is (1) opposed to the same, so that everything is either the same as or other than everything else. It is used (2) if the matter and the defini- tion are not both one, and (3) as in mathematics. 18. Other is not the contradictory of the same ; things which are not are neither the same nor other, but simply ‘not the same’; things that ave are either the same or other. 23. Difference is different from otherness, The other need not be other in any particular respect, but the different must be different in some respect, so that there must be some identical thing in which the different things differ, i.e. either-genus or species. Things differ in genus if they have not a common matter and do not pass into each other (i.e. things that belong to different categories); in species, if they belong to the same genus. 31. Contraries are different, and contrariety is a kind of difference. I, 2. 1054213 — 3. 1054? 13 287 All contraries differ; they are not only other but some are other in genus, while others are in the same category and therefore in the same genus.

It seems better to keep the reading tovrwy, which gives a fair sense. ‘Since one of the terms “ divisible” and “indivisible” is privative, they must be contraries and not contradictory or relative terms.’ Aristotle should have said, in accordance with his fourfold division of opposites, ‘ since they are not privative, nor contradictory, nor relative, they must be contrary’; but privation and contrariety are not mutually exclusive. Contrariety is the extreme form of privation, the form in which the attribute present in the one term is entirely absent in the other (1055) 14, 26, I. 1004» 27, torr» 18). As Bz. remarks, a clause indicating that the privation is of the extreme type has to be supplied in sense after Odrepov. 26. héyerat points to the fact that ddva/perov is derived from dauperov. -dyAodrat points to the fact that the meaning of ‘ one’ or ‘ indivisible’ is explained by reference to ‘many’ or ‘ divisible’. 30. ev TH Starpécer Tay evavtiwy, cf.

A. 9864 23n. Here ‘contraries (or differents) which are in the same ‘line of predication’ are said to be in the same genus. In 1058 13 (the only other pas- sage in which ovorouxia ris Karyyopias is found) contraries in the same genus are said to be in the same ‘line of predication’. Thus ‘genus’ and ‘line of predication’ are coextensive terms. Now it seems natural to identify the ‘line of predication’ here with the ‘figure of predication ’ six lines earlier. It is surprising to find genus identified with category, but the identification is vouched for by A. 1016) 33 (where see note), 102412. Aristotle doubtless calls many classes which are not categories genera, but in the strict sense the categories are the only genera, since they are the only classes that are not species. Thus Bz.’s suggestion that cvotoryia THs Katyyopias means one of the main divisions of a category, within which the same sort of predi- cate is found (thus the various predicates of number might be thought of as forming a ‘ column’ under the main predicates odd and even) falls to the ground. avoroxia is used (enter alia) of a series of terms of which each is wider than that which comes under it (Am.

Contrariety (ch. 4). 1055* 3. Contrariety is maximum difference. This is clear; for, while things that differ in genus cannot pass into each other at all, con- traries are the starting-points and extremes in the passage into each other of things differing in speczes, and have the greatest interval between them. Now what is greatest in each class is complete (since there is no going beyond it), so that contrariety is complete difference, the meaning of ‘ complete’ varying with the meaning of ‘ contrary’. 1g. One thing cannot have more than one contrary, since (1) nothing can be more extreme than the extreme, nor can there be more than two extremes to the same interval, (2) contrariety is a difference, and difference is between two things. 2573.2 U 290 COMMENTARY 23. The truth of the other definitions of contrariety. follows: (1) the complete difference is the greatest difference, for () there is no difference between a thing and others ow/szde its genus, and (4) the complete difference is the greatest difference between a thing and others zmsede its genus. (2) The things that differ most in the same genus are contraries; so too are (3) the things that differ most in the same receptive material, and (4) the things falling under the same capacity that differ most, 83. Positive state and privation are the first contrariety—but only when the privation is complete. Other contraries are so called because they possess, produce, tend to produce, or are acquisitions or losses of these or of other contraries. 38. The kinds of opposition are contradiction, privation, con- trariety, relation. (1) Contradiction is not the same as contrariety since it does not admit of a mean while contrariety. does. (2) Priva- tion is a kind of contradiction, an incapacity which is determinate or involves the same subject which is capable of having the positive state. Hence, while contradiction has no mean, privation sometimes has ; everything is equal or of equal, but only that which could be equal must be either equal or wnegual. bir. Since generation is from contrary to contrary, and is either from form or from privation, all contrariety is privation, though not all ptivation is contrariety since there are various forms of privation ; con- traries are the extremes from which change starts. 17. This can be proved by induction. Every contrariety has a privation as one of its terms, but there are various kinds of priva- tion; it sometimes means mere privation, sometimes privation at a particular time or in a particular part, or complete privation. Some of these kinds admit of a mean (a man need not be either good or bad), others do not (a number must be either odd or even), Again, some have a determinate subject, others have not. 26. Thus it is clear that one of two contraries is always privative. It is enough to show this of the summa genera of contraries, e. g. of one and many ; the rest are reducible to these. 1055" 17-19. moddax@s S€. .. attots is explained by ll. 24-33.

It is better to take oAws Te ei ori KTA. as Subordinate to davepdv (éorw). ‘And, to put the matter generally, this (that one thing has not more than one con- trary) is evident if contrariety is difference, and difference—and there- fore complete difference—is between two things.’ 23-33. The kinds of contrary mentioned in A. 10184 25-35 are: (1) 7a py dwvard dua TO atTd rapeiven TOV SiadepdvTwv Kara. yéevos, (2) ra wAciorov Siadépovta Tov év TO adTa yever (= 1055 27), (3) Ta wrciorov Siahépovra Tov év TatTed SexTiKG ( = 10558 29), (4) Ta mAciorov Siahepovra trav brd THY adryy Svvapw ( = 1055% 31). I agrees with A in the last three kinds, but excludes the first (1055 26). In I the genus is conceived as a summum genus (105429). Nothing can pass from one genus to another (1054 29, 10579 26); naturally therefore there cannot be contrary genera or contraries in different genera. In A and elsewhere genus is treated more loosely, and virtue and vice can be treated as contrary genera ( Zop. 123» 14-16). 26-27. Serta yap... peytoty. ‘For it has been shown that in relation to things outside its genus a thing has no difference, while with regard to things within one genus the complete difference is the greatest.’ It is impossible to make consistent Aristotle’s various statements in these chapters about difference. In chapter 3 difference in genus was freely recognized, and in its extremest form, viz. differ- ence of category (105429, 35). So too in this chapter (1055 6). Yet here he says that there is no such thing as difference between a thing and something else outside its genus. Two explanations might be offered. (1) Aristotle may mean that if X and Y are in different genera they should not be said to have a difference, but the genera should. If this had been his meaning, however, he would probably have taken the trouble to state it clearly. (2) It may be that while he uses diapéeperv, Sudhopov in a sense almost (not quite, cf. 1054 25) as wide as their everyday sense, he uses duadopa in the technical sense which it bears in his logic, viz..= a differentiation of a genus. This seems more likely. It is not clear where the proof referred to in d€8exra. has been given. Presumably in]. 6. Things in different genera may be called dvadépovra, but since there is no passage from one to the other there is no definite measurable interval, no dcapopa, between them. bg. Privation, we are told by Aristotle, is a kind of contradiction, and contrariety is a kind of privation. Zeller objects that when the conception of privation is cleared up it is seen to fall either under con- tradiction or under contrariety. This objection I have dealt with in notes on A. 1022) 22-24, 24-31. An. Post. 73% 21, to which he refers, in no way proves his point; it rather suggests that contrariety reduces itself either to privation or to contradiction. The general position is this; Contradiction is the relation between two proposi- ' U2 292 COMMENTARY tions of the type ‘Ais B’,‘Ais not B’. Privation is the condition of a subject capable of being B (let us call it A>) when it in any degree fails to be B. Contrariety is the relation between two condi- tions of A», that in which it is fully B and that in which it is not B at all. Thus contradiction includes privation as a particular case, and privation includes contrariety as a particular case. 4. % yap Td G8uvatovy bdws éxew. The application of a privative term to a subject which is quite incapable of having the positive pre- dicate is improper. In such a case it is only the contradictory term that should be applied. Strictly therefore Aristotle should not have included this as a case of privation (as he does both here and in A. 1022623), since privation is cuverAnppévg TO Sexrixd, i.e. implies that the subject could have the positive predicate, and is duopirbeioa, i.e. limited to such a subject. Aristotle is here taking account of the fact that terms like ‘blind’, though properly applicable only to animals, are in ordinary language sometimes applied to other things. 7. év Gddows, A. 22.

Alexander aptly illus- trates this by saying that a man might be called dyeup if he had no right hand. 25. Bz. argues that the fact that some positive terms (like odd and even) have a determinate subject to which they are appropriate, while others (like good and bad) have none but may be applied in any category, is the reason why the former do not admit of a middle while the latter do. He therefore reads 67 for the manuscript év. Alexander gives the same general interpretation, and probably also read 6ru (624. 12). But it seems clear that this is not the reason why good and bad admit of a middle. Take Aristotle’s favourite instance of privation, ‘blind’, which has a determinate subject, viz. animals ; there are inter- mediates between ‘seeing’ in the full sense and ‘blind’ in the full sense. Distinctions such as are suggested by 7% wore 7 &v tut, olov av é€v 7Aukia Twi 7 TS Kupiw, 7 avTy are applicable to good and bad but not to odd and even, and this is the reason why the former admit of a middle and the latter donot. ér ra pv xrX. raises a fresh point, the point of the proper application of privative terms, already mentioned in 1. 4. The opposition of ‘ equal’ to ‘ greater’ and ‘ less’ (ch. 5). 105530. If one thing has only one contrary, how is one opposed to many, or equal to greater and smaller? ‘ Whether’ always implies opposition ; we ask ‘ whether it is white or black’, ‘ whether it is white I, 4. 105554 —5. 1055> -6 203 or not white’, but not ‘ whether it is a man or white’. When we state alternatives between which there is no apparent opposition, as in ‘whether Cleon came, or Socrates’, we imply that they are incom- patible ; if they are compatible the question would be absurd and another opposition would take its place, ‘whether both came, or only one of the two’. 10562 3. Now we ask ‘ whether it is greater, less, or equal’; what is the implied opposition of equal to the other terms? It is not con- trary either to one or to both, for (1) it is not contrary to one any more than to the other ; (2) it is contrary to unequal, so that it would have more than one contrary. If unequal is equivalent to greater and smaller together, equal would be opposed to both, but it would still have two contraries, which is impossible. (3) Equal is between great and small, but a contrariety cannot be intermediate, or it would not be complete. 15. The opposition must therefore be either contradiction or priva- tion. ‘ Equal’ is not the contradiction or privation of either extreme more than of the other ; therefore it is the privative contradiction of both. Hence it is never stated as alternative to one of them alone. 20. It is not a necessary privation, for not everything that is neither greater nor less is equal, but only that which could be greater or less. It is the privative contradiction of both, and therefore intermediate between them. 24. What is neither good nor bad is opposed to both but has no name, since the terms are ambiguous and have no one appropriate subject-matter. Even what is neither white nor black has no one name, though the colours of which ‘ neither white nor black ’ is pre- dicated are limited. 30. Therefore it is not fair to object that if what is neither good nor bad is between the two, there will always be an intermediate etween two terms, e.g. what is neither a shoe nor a hand will be be- tween the two.

It is disconcerting to find him, immediately after, saying that it is przvalzve contradiction, But in truth contradiction and privation are not mutually exclusive. Equal and greater-or-smaller are not strictly con- tradictory, for neither is true of non-quanta.

If many is opposed to one absolutely, difficulties follow: (1) One will be few, because many is opposed to few; (2) two will be many and therefore one will be few, since it can only be in opposition to one that two is many; (3) woAv and éA‘yor are in plurality what long and. short are in length, and what is much is many and what is many is much (unless fluids are an exception), so that the few will be a plurality, and therefore one will be a plurality. 14. The truth is that the many are also called much, but the meaning of the two terms is different; water may be much but is not many. But many is applicable to all things that are discrete, and means (1) a plurality which is absolutely or relatively superior, as opposed to few, but also (2) number, as opposed to one. The opposi- tion of one to many is like that of one to ones or of white thing to. I. 5. 105671—6, 1056) 12 205 white things; each number is many because it consists of ones and is measured by one, and as opposed to one, not to few. 25. In this sense two is many ; it is not many in the sense of being a plurality which is superior either relatively or absolutely. It is few absolutely, since it is the first inferior plurality (hence Anaxagoras was wrong in saying ‘all things were together, infinite in multitude and in smallness—by which he meant fewness—, for they were not infinite in fewness), since fewness is constituted not by one but by two. 32. One and many in numbers are opposed, then, as measure to the measurable, and these are opposed as things that are per accidens relative. A may be relative to B (1) as being its contrary, or (2) be- cause B is relative to A (in which indirect sense ‘knowledge’ is relative to ‘knowable ’). 10571. One may be fewer than some other things; it does not follow that it is few. 2. Plurality isthe genus of number; number is plurality measurable by one. One and number are opposed not as contraries but as some relative terms have been said to be opposed, viz. as measure to measurable; hence not everything that is one is a number. 7. Knowledge might be thought to be related to the knowable as measure to the measured, but in fact, while all knowledge is knowable, not everything knowable is knowledge; in a sense knowledge is measured by the knowable. 12. Plurality is contrary neither to few (many being contrary to few as superior to inferior plurality), nor in every way to one. In one way it is contrary to one, because it is divisible while the one is indivisible ; in another it is merely relative to it, as knowledge is to the knowable, if many means number and one the measure of number. 10565. ddiyov 7% ddiyo.

Aristotle begins” here.his discussion of the difficulties stated in ll. 5-14. The vital point in his solution of the difficulties is the distinction (Il. 16-20) between two senses of ‘many’ —the sense of ‘superior plurality’, in which it is opposed to ‘few’, and the sense of ‘number’, in which it is opposed to ‘one’, and opposed not as its contrary but as its correlative. Thus (1) the first difficulty (Il. 5, 6) disappears. Though many is opposed to one and to few, it does not follow that one is few, for it is many in different senses that is opposed to one and to few. (2) The second difficulty (Il. 6-10) disappears. We cannot say ‘two is many and therefore one is few’, for two is not many in the sense in which many is opposed to few (i. e. in the sense that there is a plurality which is smaller and which may be called few), but only in the sense in which many is opposed to one. (3) The third difficulty (ll. 10-14) disappears. For one of the premises of the argument, viz. that one is few, has now been shown to be untrue. 21, 22.

Anaxagoras meant, as a matter of fact, what he said, that things were infinitely many and infinitely small, in the sense that everything however small included yet smaller parts. If he had meant that they were infinitely few, Aristotle’s objection I. 6. 105614 — 105712 297 (od yap azeipa) that things cannot be infinitely few, since there is an absolute few, viz., two, would have been sound.

There is a further difficulty in the present passage.

There the known, here knowledge is made the term which is really absolute and only incidentally relative. The two statements are to be reconciled as follows: The term ‘knowledge’ is prior to the term ‘knowable’, since knowable = possible object of knowledge. But the thing which is knowable is prior to the knowledge of it, since there can be a know- able which is not known but there cannot be knowledge which is not ot something knowable.

The sentence is difficult; the alleged fact (ovpBaive dé) is surprising in itself, and does not stand in a proper antithesis to what ‘one might suppose’ (d0€ere wey yap dv). The expression is loose, but the point (if the reading be right) seems to be this: Knowledge might be thought to be the measure of the knowable (a free render- ing of Protagoras’ maxim), but in point of fact, while all knowledge must be knowable, not all that is knowable is actually known or knowledge. The point is stated more accurately in Caf. 7» 22-35, where as here the relation of the knowable to knowledge is dis- tinguished from the relation of a genuine zpos ru term to its correlative. Cf. 1053 31-35. The doctrine of the identity of knowledge with its object (De An. 430% 4, &c.), to which Alexander and Bz. refer, does not seem to be relevant.

From one point of view number is contrary to the one, because they have contrary attributes, being respectively divisible and indivisible; but from another point of view they are related not as contraries but with the sort of relation that knowledge has to the knowable, being respectively number (i.e. the measurable) and mea- sure. The distinction drawn in 105635 between évavria and the other kind of zpés 7: thus reappears in this sentence ; the meaning is brought out better by deleting the comma after 7. in 1. 16. It seems clear that the subject of 7 (1. 16) is not as Alexander and Bz, suppose » érotnun but 7d 7AROos, and that 76 & & pérpov, not ro 8 ev Kat /€rpov, is to be read. The nature of intermediates (ch. 7). 105718. Intermediates must be compounded out of contraries ; for (1) they are always in the same genus as the extremes, since (a) they are that into which things must change before they reach the ex- tremes, and (4) it is not possible to change from one genus into another except per accidens, e. g. from a colour to a shape. 30. But (2) (a) all intermediates are between opposites (for it is only between these, fer se, that change can take place); and (4), of opposites, (i) contradictories admit of no mean (contradiction being between opposites one of which must be true of every subject) ; while (ii) relative terms that are not contrary have no mean because they are not in the same genus. Intermediates must therefore be between coniraries. b2. (3) They must therefore be composed of these contraries. For the contraries must either fall within one genus or not. (a) If they do, so that there is something prior to the contraries, the differentiae that make the contrary species will be prior contraries ; for the species consist of the genus + the differentiae. 12, The intermediates will be composed of the genus + certain differentiae, which will not be the first contraries (otherwise every colour would be either white or black), but are intermediate between them. 19. Thus we have to consider first, of what are composed the inter- mediates between (4) contraries that are no/ in the same genus; for the things in the same genus must be composed of terms that do not I], 6, 1057" 14—7. 10577 33 299 involve the genus as an element in them, or else be incomposite. Contraries are not compounded of one another, and are therefore starting-points ; of the intermediates ad/ or mone are compounded out of the contraries. Now from the contraries there arises somedhing such that change reaches it before it reaches the contraries (for there must be something that is less than the one and more than the other). Therefore all the o/her intermediates also are composite ; for that which has a quality in a higher degree than A and in a lower degree than B must be compounded of A and B. 29. But since there is nothing homogeneous with the contraries and prior to them, all intermediates must be compounded of the contraries, and therefore the lower terms, whether contraries or intermediates, will be compounded of the first contraries. Clearly, then, all intermediates are (1) in the same genus, (2) between contraries, and (3) compounded out of the contraries. Chapters 7-10 are for some unknown reason not commented on by Alexander. 1057°18. kat éviwy €otw, i.e. in the great majority of cases; there are some contraries, however, like odd and even, straight and crooked, which admit of no mean (1055> 24). 19-' 34. That the intermediates are compounded out of contraries is proved (cf. > 2-4) by three premises, (1) that all intermediates are in the same genus as their extremes (I. 19) (which is itself proved-by two premises, (a) that intermediates lie on the path of change between ex- tremes (J. 21),(2) that change from one genus to another is impossible (1. 26)); (2) that all intermediates are between contraries (which is proved by two premises, (a) that intermediates are between opposites (1. 30), (6) that they cannot be between any kind of opposites except contraries (I. 33-1)). (3) Intermediates between contraries in the same genus, i.e. between contrary species, presuppose intermediates between contraries not in the same genus, i.e. between contrary differentiae (4-22); and since there is an intermediate differentia compounded out of the contrary differentiae, and if any of the intermediates is composite they all must be, all must be compounded out of the contraries (» 22-32). 27.

Of the four kinds of opposites, viz. contradictories, relatives, privatives, contraries, Aristotle shows that the first two cannot have intermediates, and he infers that intermediates must be between con- traries. He says nothing of privatives, for contrariety is the extreme form of privation (1055? 35, @. 1046” 14), so that any privation short of complete privation falls between contraries. 300 COMMENTARY 37.

E.g. white would have to be to some extent ‘compressing’ as well as ‘dilating’, But this is not in itself a likely doctrine, and it can hardly be said to be proved in the present passage ; the meaning probably is that each extreme species contains one of the extreme differentiae as a logical element (the other element being the genus), while each intermediate species contains both the differentiae. Otherness in species (ch. 8). 1057” 35. That which is other in species is different from something in something, and this must belong to both the terms that are other than one another. They must therefore be in the same genus, for a genus is that which each of two things differing fer se is said to be. igs 1057" 27-——8. 105898 301 105872. For not only must something common belong to both, but it must be different for each of them. The differentia must be an otherness of the genus; for a differentia of a genus is an otherness that makes the genus itself other. 8. This otherness must be contrariety. For all division is by opposites, and contraries are in the same genus, since contrariety is complete difference and difference in species is always difference from something in respect of something and this something is identical and is the genus that embraces both terms. Hence all contraries that differ in species and not in genus are in the same category, and have the utmost difference and are incompatible. 17. To be other in species, then, is to be in the same genus, con- trary, and indivisible (and to be the same in species is to be indivisible and have no contrariety)—for there are also contrarieties in the inter- mediate stages of division before we come to the indivisibles. 21. Therefore no species is either the same in species as or other in species than its genus (for matter is made known by negation, and the genus is matter of its species), nor with things not in the same genus; it differs in genus from them, in species from things in the same genus. For the difference must be a contrariety to that from which the given species differs in species, and contrariety exists only within a genus. 1057 35.

For contradictories are not in the same genus, since they together embrace the whole universe; nor are relative terms necessarily in the same genus (10572 38). Privatives and contraries alone remain, and these are very closely bound up together (10572 33” 1 n.). 302 COMMENTARY Though Aristotle says that differentiation is by contraries, he does not in practice confine himself to division by dichotomy; e.g. in Café. 14> 347 he divides animals into wrryvov, reCov, evvdpor.

Why does not the female differ from the male in species, when female and male are contrary and the differentia is a differentia of animal as such? 34. This is much the same as the question why one contrariety (e.g possession of feet and of wings) makes things other in species, and another (e.g. whiteness and blackness) does not. The reason is that I. 8. 1058811 —9. 1058 2 303 only the former are affections proper to the genus, Contrarieties in the definition make a difference in species, those in the concrete whole do not. bg. Hence whiteness does not make a differentiation of man; for colour belongs to man on his material side, and matter does not make a differentia. Individual men are not species of man, though their flesh and bones are different ; the concrete whole is other, but not other in species because there is no contrariety in the definition. Man is the last, indivisible species; Callias is definition + matter, and so too is ‘the white man’, since ‘the man’ is only white per accidens because Callias is white. 12, Hence a bronze and a wooden circle are not other in species; and a bronze triangle and a wooden circle are other in species not because of their matter but because there is a contrariety in their definition. 15. But perhaps where the matter is other in a particular way it makes the things other in species in a sense, Why is this horse other in species than this man, though their definitions involve matter ? Because there is a contrariety in their definitions. A white man and a black horse are other in species not gua white and black, for they would have been so even if they had both been white. 21. Male and female are affections proper to animal, but not in virtue of its essence but in its matter (and hence the same seed can become male or female). This chapter implies a division into three kinds of the attri- butes which belong to some members of a genus and not to others. There are (1) oixeta 7déOy 70d yévous (* 37, » 22), which belong to the genus xa’ avré (4 32), i.e. are peculiar toit. These are subdivided into (a) those which are év 76 Adyw (P 1), which belong to the essential nature of the genus, i.e. dzfferentiae like ‘footed’ and ‘winged’ in the genus ‘animal’ (® 36), and (4) those which are & 76 cuverAnp- pévo TH BAy (P 2), which arise from the association of the essential nature with two or more kinds of matter. Thus a male animal is produced by the association of the owépya or male element, in which the form of the species is transmitted, with one female or material element, and a female animal is produced by its associa- tion with a different female element (» 23). The attributes under this head are properties of the genus; every animal must be male- or-female, and nothing but an animal can be either.

Contraries are other in form, and the perishable and the imperishable are contraries. They must therefore be other in kind. But so far we have spoken only of the universal terms, so that it would not follow that every imperishable thing is different in kind from every perishable, any more than every white thing is from every black. The same thing may be both white and black, and, if it is a universal, may be both at the same time. 36. But while some contraries such as white and black belong to certain subjects per accidens, perishable and imperishable do not. Nothing is perishable per accidens; if it could be so, the same thing might be both perishable and imperishable. Perishableness is either the essence, or included in the essence, of all perishables. So too with imperishableness. Therefore the essential natures in virtue of which things are perishable and imperishable are opposed, and there- fore are other in kind. 1059? 10. Therefore there cannot be Forms such as some thinkers maintain, for if there were there would be a perishable and an im- perishable man. The Forms are said to be the seme in species as the particulars, but things other in genus are further apart even than things other in species. 105827. otépnois yap dduvapia Siwpicpévn. ‘Perishable’ and imperishable’ are contraries, not contradictories, for a privative term $T.

But this does not remove the difficulty, for in 10597 10 it is again stated, without any fresh grounds, that they differ yéve. It seems plain that cide and yéve are not here used in their technical sense. They may be translated ‘form’ and ‘kind’, In 1059214 on the other hand the technical distinction is found, and it seems probable that while the rest of the chapter was written before Aristotle had begun to use the words in their technical sense, ll. 10-14 were added later under the supposition that generic as opposed to specific difference between the perishable and the imperishable had been proved. These lines have the air of an afterthought; they use for the purpose of anti-Platonic polemic a result which in the rest of the chapter was established without any polemical motive. For other instances of the non-technical use of the words cf. A. 10718 25 with 27, Caz. 8b 24 with 9214, An. Post. 97> 24 with 34, H.

BOOK kK Book K consists of two very different parts, (1) 1059* 18—1065° 26, a shorter version of the contents of BIB, (2) 10654 26—1069° 4, a series of extracts from PAys, II, III, V. The two parts are in- geniously connected together by a transition from a discussion of the accidental to a discussion of chance. Jaeger has given (Arzsv. 216 ff.) strong reasons for holding that the first part is earlier than BIE, and was written when Aristotle was still much under the influence of Platonic presuppositions. (1) While E has a section pointing forward to the discussion of substance and activity in ZH@ (1026 33-2), this is lacking in K (106415). I.e., while B has been worked up into a form which served to connect the original introduction ABIE. 1 with the later discussion of substance, ZH®, there is no trace of this in K, (2) In K. 105939 Aristotle asks whether ‘the science we are looking for’ is concerned with sensible substances or with others, In the corresponding passage, B. 997° 34, he asks whether we must maintain the existence of sensible substances only or also of others. 2578-2 x 306 COMMENTARY Jaeger argues (unsuccessfully, I think) that K here represents a more Platonic point of view. (3) In K. 1060%7-13 the object of inquiry is said to be « tu xopiorov Kal! airs Kal pyderi rév aicOyrdv trdpxov. In B. 9997 24— 32 the language is much less strongly Platoni¢, K. 10604 21-27, » 1-3 reveal the same search for a transcendent object of knowledge. (4) In K. 10638 10-17 Aristotle appeals from the changeableness of terrestrial things to the permanence of the celestial; in I’. roro® 15 ff., the appeal is to the permanent elements in the terrestrial world, and only incidentally (ib. 25-32) to the constancy of the heavens. (5) The problem about the vAy tév pabyparixdy is peculiar to K. 1059 14-21. It is discussed in N. 1088? 14 ff., and N can on other grounds be shown to belong to the earliest draft of the Me/aphyszcs. The problem springs naturally out of Plato’s doctrine of the great-and-small. (6) The one problem which is found in B (1002 32—1003* 5) and not in K is the question whether the elements exist potentially or actually—a question closely related to the contents of ZH®, (7) K. 10593 presupposes the refutation of the ideal theory in A. 9; B. 99473 does not do this, and evidently belongs to the later period in which the attack on the ideal theory was removed from A and relegated to M. 4, 5. Recapitulation of the problems stated in B. 2, 3 (ch. 1). 1059" 18. That wisdom is a science of first principles is clear from our examination of earlier thinkers, but the following questions arise : 20. (1) Is wisdom one science or more than one? If one, it should be of contraries, but the first principles are not contrary ; if more than one, which are these sciences ? 23. (2) Is it the business of one science to study the axioms? If of one, why of this more than of any other; if of more than one, which are these sciences ? 26. (3) Does it study all substances? If not all, then which; if all, how can one science study more than one subject ? 29. (4) Does it study attributes as well as substances? If it is a demonstration of attributes, it is not about substances; if a different science studies attributes, what is each and which is wisdom? Qua demonstrative, the science of attributes would be wisdom; gua about primaries, the science of substances. 34. The science we are looking for does not deal with the four causes ; it cannot deal with the final cause, i. e. the good, which is the first mover and is not presupposed by unmovable things. Koer. TO5Q* 19-23 307 38. (5) Generally, is this science concerned with sensible substances or with others? If with others, then either with Forms or with mathe- matical objects. (a) The Forms do not exist; but, if we suppose them to exist, why is there not a third man, &c., just as mathematical objects are a ¢erfium quid between Forms and sensible things; on the other hand, if this er#um quid does not exist, what is mathematics about? Not about sensible things, which have not the required properties. b 12. (4) Nor is the science we are looking for about mathematical objects, which have no separate existence, nor (c) about sensibles, which are perishable. 14. Which science should investigate the matter of mathematical objects? Not physics, which is occupied with things having a principle of motion and of rest in themselves ; nor logic, which is absorbed in the study of knowledge. This must therefore be a task for metaphysics. » at. (6) Does metaphysics study the elements present in composite objects? It might seem to be rather concerned with universals (since all knowledge is of universals) and therefore with the summa genera, being and unity. These might seem most like first principles because if they are destroyed everything else perishes with them}; everything is existent and one. gi. On the other hand, it would seem that these cannot be genera or first principles, because the differentiae must share in them, but no differentia shares in its genus, Further, what is simpler is more of a first principle than the less simple, and zmfimae species are simpler than their genera, being indivisible. But inasmuch as the destruction of the genus involves the destruction of its species, the genera are more like first principles.

A comparison with the corresponding passage in B shows that a7ddeis €orw is an intrusion from the next line. The question is whether co¢éa is concerned with substances only or also with attributes ; the reference to demonstration comes in only by way of showing the difficulty of supposing that it is concerned with both. 32-38.

The phrase seems to have become a catchword which was used in various senses other than the originalone. Cf. A. 990? 17n. 14-21. This discussion of the question what science studies the matter of mathematical objects has no parallel in B. The question is not, what science studies mathematical objects (the answer to which is obviously ‘ mathematics’), but what science studies the tAy that under- lies mathematical objects.

These are infinite in number, but on the other-hand the knowledge we are looking for cannot be of genera or species, which are the things that might be supposed to exist apart from individuals. Yet we seem to be looking for something independent which is not an attribute of any sensible thing. 1g. If there is such a substance, which sensible substances does it exist alongside of? Why of some more than others? Yet it would be absurd to suppose eternal substances as numerous as the sensible and perishable. 19. But if the principle we are looking for is zo¢ apart from bodies, matter might seem to have a strong claim; yet it exists only poten- tially. Form has a stronger claim, but it is perishable, so that apparently there is ~o eternal independent substance. Yet the best minds have always sought such a principle; indeed, without it how could there be any order? 27. (8) If there is such a principle common to eternal and perish- able things, why are some eternal and others not? If the principles are different, then (a) if the principle of perishables is eternal, why are they not eternal? (0) if it is perishable, it presupposes another principle, and so ad infinitum. 36. (9) If we posit the principles that seem most unchangeable, being and unity, (a) if they are of individual substances, how can they exist apart, as first principles must ; if they are, all things will be sub- stances, since being is predicable of all; but plainly not all things are substances. b6. (4) Those who make unity the first principle and a substance, and generate number from it and from matter and make number a substance, cannot be right; for how can you think of two or any number as one? 12. (c) Lines, planes, &c., cannot be first principles, since they are mere divisions and limits and therefore cannot exist apart. 17. (¢d) The unit or the point cannot be a substance, since there is no generation of it. 1g. (10) All knowledge is of universals, but substance is not universal but individual; if there is knowledge of the first principles, how can substance be the first principle ? 2g.

There is first the question whether there is anything apart from individual things (3-13, 999% 24-32) ; then the question which sensible substances “have a corresponding separate substance (13-18, 999%32-55, » 17-20); the question whether, if the dpxy we are in search of is not separate, matter or form is more truly the adpx7 (19-24) is peculiar to K, and the arguments in 999 5— 16 are peculiar to B. 3. 74 Kad exaota, cf.

The subject of philosophical study (ch. 3). 1060» 31. Philosophy is concerned with being as such universally, but being has more than one meaning. If it is merely ambiguous it cannot be dealt with by one science; if there is some common meaning, it can. 36. It is like the terms ‘medical’ and ‘healthy’, all of whose meanings have some reference to the medical art and to health respectively. So too everything that is is an affection, state, dis- position, motion, &c., of being as such. 1o61° 10. Since all that is is referable to some one thing, all con- trarieties are referable to the primary differences of being—plurality and unity, likeness and unlikeness, &c. It matters not whether the reduction be to being or to unity, for the two are at any rate con- vertible. 18. All contraries are objects of the same science, and each of them implies privation. (How can terms admitting of a mean, like just and unjust, involve privation? The privation must be said to be not of the whole definition but of the zwfima species. If the just man is ‘one who by virtue of a state of will is obedient to the laws’, the unjust man need not be the very reverse of this but may be ‘ one who is in some respect deficient in obedience to the laws’; in this respect he suffers from a privation of justice.) 28. The mathematician abstracts from all sensible qualities and studies simply what is quantitative and continuous in one, two, or three dimensions, and its essential attributes. bg. Similarly the study of the properties and contrarieties of being K. 2. 1060) 18 — 3. 106155 313 as such is the task of no science but philosophy; not of physics, which studies things not gua being but gua sharing in motion, nor of dialectic or sophistic, which study the attributes of things that are, but not gua being. 11. Since all that is is so called by virtue of some one common character, and things so related can fall under one science, we have solved our problem, how there can be one science of many things which differ in genus. This chapter answers to T. 1, 2, the substance of which it states in a much briefer form. In the first part of the chapter, 1060 31—1061% 28, the question raised in 1059% 20-23 is incidentally answered, and in the second part, 10614 28—-» 11, that raised in 1059* 29-34, though at the end (1061 15) it is only claimed that the first of the two problems has been solved. 1061* 15. eotwcay yap avtat TeDewpynpévan, cf.

If contraries are related as égis and orépyors, it might seem that they are the only possible conditions of the dexrixév. The answer is that the intermediate in such a case lacks not every element in the definition of the positive term but only the final differentia. Besides just men, who conform to the whole definition of ‘just ’, and unjust men, of whom no part of it is true, there are men who in some respect fail to conform to it, e. g. who obey the laws but not from the right egis. Such men are said to exhibit the privation of the reAXevtatov eldos (1. 23); i. e. they do not belong to the zufima spectes ‘just man’ ; they are lacking in the final differentia, though they may belong to some wider class (e.g. that of men obedient to the laws) which includes also just men. 22, Td To.aiTa, i.e. TH ava pecoV. 23.

That if equals be taken from equals equals remain is common to all quanti- ties, but mathematics studies the several parts of its subject-matter (lines, angles, numbers, &c.), not gva being but gua continuous; while philosophy studies particular things only in so far as they have being. 27. Physics is like mathematics; it studies the properties and principles of things gua moving, not gua being, while the first science studies the attributes of being as being. Hence physics and mathe- matics are only parts of wisdom. This chapter corresponds to IT. 1005*19-»2, and answers the question raised in 1059? 23-26. 1061” 18. tots Kowois, i.e. the aéimpara, cf.

There is a principle about which it is impossible to be deceived—that the same thing cannot at the same time be and not be. Such truths cannot be proved absolutely because there is no more certain premise from which they can be inferred. 10628 5. But they can be proved to a particular person, viz. to any- one who makes contradictory assertions; the method is to assume something that is identical with the truth in question but does not seem so to our opponent. 11. People who are to discuss together must to some extent under- stand each other; therefore each of their words must mean something, and ifit is ambiguous the intended meaning must be indicated. Now (1) he who says ‘A is and is not B’ is saying that the word B does not mean what it does mean, and since this is impossible the law of contradiction is proved. - 1g. (2) If the word means something and this meaning is truly asserted of a subject, the subject must necessarily have this character, and therefore can never not have it; so that the opposite statements cannot be true of the same subject. 23. (3) If the affirmation is no more true than the negation, ‘Ais a man’ is no truer than ‘A is ‘not a man’, and therefore a fortior? no truer than ‘A is not a horse’, and therefore (if contradictions are both true) no truer than ‘ A is a horse’; so that the same object is a man, a horse, &c. gt. If one had argued thus with Heraclitus he might have abandoned his view ; he adopted it without realizing what he was saying. If his dictum were true, even it itself would not be true. For if‘ A is B ’ is no truer than“ A is not B’, ‘ A is both B and not B’ is no truer than ‘A is neither B nor not B’. by, Further, if nothing can be truly affirmed it is false to say that no affirmation is true; while if something can be truly affirmed the dictum of these destroyers of all discussion is upset. 316 COMMENTARY The chapter covers the ground of IT. 3. 1005» 8-end and of TI. 4, with the exception of (1) the argument that if the law of contradiction be denied, substance is denied and everything reduced to accident (10078 20-» 18), (2) the group of arguments in 10084 7-b 42,~ (3) the argument that the opponents of the law of contradiction themselves act upon it (1008 r2—1009%5).

He means that what seems to each man is so; then since things seem different to different people, the same thing will be and not be. 20. The problem will be solved if we consider the origin of this belief. (1) With some, it arose from the doctrine of the physicists ; (2) with others, from observing that people have different impressions about the same thing. 24. (1) That nothing can come into being from not-being but everything from being is a view common to most of the physicists. Therefore, since a thing does not become white if it was perfectly white, the white must come from what is not white ; so that according to them it must come from not-being, unless the same thing was white and not white. The difficulty is easily removed; we have stated in the P&ysics in what sense things come to be from being and in what sense from not-being. 38. (2) (@) It is foolish to attend equally to opposite opinions. The same thing never seems sweet and sour to two people unless the sense-organ of the one has been injured; in that case only the other man is a measure. So too with good and bad, &c. We might just as well claim that the object which seems to be two when you press your eye must de two. 1063* 10. (4) We ought to judge of the nature of things not from the changes in the things around us but from the changelessness of the heavenly bodies. 17. (c) Again, if there is motion, there is a moving thing, which moves from something and into something ; and when it is in the one it is not in the other, as. (¢) Even if things in this world were always changing in quantity—and the observation of such changes is one of the chief motives of the theory—they need not be always changing in quality, and essence depends on quality, which is determinate, not on quantity, which is indeterminate. 318 COMMENTARY 28. (e) Again, the fact that people act on the doctor’s orders shows that they think things have a determinate nature which is not always changing. 35. (/) If we are always changing, the changes in our perceptions do not show the objects to be changing ; if we-are mo¢ changing, then there is something that is at rest. b7. It is not easy to meet those who feel these difficulties on dialectical grounds, for if they will not posit something and no longer demand a reason for it, they make discussion impossible; those, on the other hand, who are puzzled by the traditional difficulties may be answered as we have shown. 15. Contradictory statements, then, cannot both be true; nor can contraries, because contrariety involves privation, as may be seen by analysing the definitions of contraries. 1g. Nor can an intermediate be predicated of the same subject of which one of the extremes is asserted. If A is white we cannot truly say it is neither black nor white, for we shall be saying that it is both white and not white. 24. Therefore neither the view of Heraclitus is right, nor that of Anaxagoras that there is a portion of everything in everything; if everything is present acfually in everything, contraries are true of the same thing. go. Similarly all'statements cannot be false, nor all true—for this reason in addition to others, that if all are false this statement itself is false, and if all are true it will be true that all are false.

Baz. is also right in suggesting the excision of jy after yyvépevov. An alternative would be to insert pH before Xevxod, where it is read by E (in marg.) T'; but there seems to be no reason why the case of the not-white coming from the not- not-white should be substituted for the simpler case of the white coming from the not-white. The argument then is: Nothing can come to be from what is not. The white comes to be from the not-white. Therefore the not-white must also have been white.

It seems impossible, however, to suppose that aire refers to anything different from what éxefvm refers to ; and Bz.’s difficulty is an unreal one.

These sciences get the essence of their subject by perception or by hypothesis, and try to prove the attributes; it is evident from a review of them that there is no proof of the essence. 1064210. The science of nature is not a productive science, for in such a science the principle of motion is in the producer and not in the product, being an art or other faculty ; nor a pracfical science, since here the motion is in the doer, not in what is done, while physics is - aaah SS atta Ky 6: Fae 5a 22— 7. 1064? 13 321 concerned with things that have a principle of motion in themselves, It is ¢heoretical, therefore. Ig. Since each science must know the essence of its subjects, we must note how the physicist should define. Should he define as one defines ‘snub’ or as one defines ‘hollow’, i, e. with or without refer- ence to matter? Flesh, eye, &c., must be defined with reference to their matter. 28. Is the science of being as being and as capable of separate existence the same as physics? Physics studies things having a principle of change in themselves; mathematics studies things unchanging but without separate existence. If, then, as we shall try to show, there is a separate unchanging substance, the science of it is different from physics and mathematics, If there is such a substance, here is the divine, and the first and most authoritative principle. by. There are, then, three kinds of theoretical science, physics, mathematics, theology. Theoretical science is the best kind of science, and of its species the last-named is best, being about the best object. 6. Is the science of being as such universal? There is a universal mathematics as well as the various branches. If physical substances are the primary entities, physics is the first science ; but if there is a substance which is separate and unchangeable, the knowledge of it is prior to physics, and universal because prior.

Accidental being and being as truth ; chance (ch. 8). 1064) 15. (1) Let us first examine being in one of its senses—the accidental. The accidental is not studied by any of the traditional sciences; the builder does not ask what will happen to the people who use his house, but studies his own proper end. 23. Nor does any science reason that ‘the musical man who becomes grammatical will be both at the same time, not having been so before; but what is, without always having been, must have come to be ; so that he must have become at the same time musical and gram- 2073-2 Ni 322 COMMENTARY matical’. It is only sophistic that studies this ; it is the only science of the accidental, and Plato was not far wrong in saying that the sophist spends his time on not-being. 30. That a science of the accidental is not even possible will be clear if we ask what the accidental is. Everything that is is either always and of necessity (logical necessity, not compulsion), or for the most part, or ‘as it happens’ (e.g. cold in the dog-days). The accidental is what happens, but not always nor for the most part, and for that reason there can be no knowledge of it. 1065° 6. There are no causes of the accidental such as there are of the essential ; for then everything would be of necessity. If A is when B is, and B is when C is, and C is of necessity, all the effects down to the last will be necessary, and contingency will have been abolished. 14. Similarly, if the cause be not a being but an event, all events will be necessary ; to-morrow’s eclipse will follow necessarily from something now existent, 21. (2) Being as truth depends on a combination in thought, and there- fore we pass it by and fix our attention on independently existing being ; being as accident is indeterminate and has indeterminate causes. 26. (3) Teleology is found in things happening by nature or as a result of thought. It is chance when some such event happens by accident; chance is an accidental cause of teleological events of the purposive kind. Hence chance and thought are concerned with the same objects; for purpose implies thought. The causes of chance events are indeterminate, and theréfore chance is obscure to human reasoning and is a cause only per accidens. It is good luck or bad luck when it turns out well or ill; prosperity and adversity are good and bad luck on a large scale. Since nothing accidental is prior to the essential, if chance is a cause of the universe reason and nature are prior causes. 1064) 15—1065* 26 answers roughly to EB. 2-4, omitting (1) the account of the various senses of ‘ being’ in B. 1026 34—? 2, (2) the statement that accidents are neither generated nor destroyed, 1026> 22-24, (3) the examples given in 1026 35—10279 5, 10278 23-26, (4) the reference of the cause of accidents to matter, 10279 13-15, (5) the discussion of being as truth in E. 4 (just touched on in 10652 21-24).

But that which is, but bas not always been, must have come to be. Therefore such a man at the same time came to be musical and grammatical,—which ex hypothes? he did not. The fallacy evidently lies in the supposition that because he must have come to be simultaneously ‘ musical and grammatical’, he must have simultaneously come to be musical and come to be gram- matical; dua is ‘conjoined’ with a word to which it does not really belong.

It is hard to see how something that is for a purpose can happen by accident or incidentally.

Cf. rod KxopicacOou Y2 324 COMMENTARY évexa in 196» 35, where actual purpose is expressly excluded, and the use of réAos in 197%1 of what would naturally be an end of action. Where a result is produced ‘accidentally that would normally be pro- duced by purposive action, it is said to be dao rvxns ; where a result is produced accidentally that would normally be produced by nature, it is said to be dé rabroudrov.

But xara ovp,BeBnxds must be understood also in the light of the explanation of it given above in ]. 1; to say that A produces B accidentally is to imply that it produces it rarely. Torstrik (Hermes ix. 425-470) has tried to show that Aristotle repre- sents chance results not as those which might naturally be produced by purposive action, but as those which are actually though incidentally so produced. But the evidence to the contrary in the Physzcs is too strong.

There is no motion apart from things; for it is with respect to the categories that change occurs, and there is nothing common over these. In substance there are form and privation, in quality white and black, in quantity complete and incomplete, in place up and down, so that there are as many kinds of change as of being. 14. The distinction of potentiality and actualization exists in each class of things, and motion is the actualization of the potential as such ; e.g. when the buildable as such actually exists, it is being built, and this is the process of building. Motion takes place when the actualization itself exists, and neither before nor after. 21. Thus the actualization of that which is potentially, when it exists actually, not as itself but as movable, is motion. The bronze is poten- tially a statue, but the actualization of the bronze as dronze is not motion, for it is not. the same thing to be bronze and to be a certain potentiality. 28. This can be seen from the case of contraries ; to be capable of health and of disease is not the same thing (if it were, health and disease would be the same thing), but the substratum of health and of disease is the same. 32. Motion, then, is the actualization of the potential gua potential. That motion is what we have defined it as being, and exists only when the actualization itself exists, is clear. For the actualization of the buildable as such must be either the act of building or the house ; but when the Aouse exists it is no longer buildable; on the other hand it zs the buildable that is the object of the act of buclding. Therefore the actualization of the buildable is the act of building ; and this is a movement. 106627. That we are right is shown by what others say about motion, and by the difficulty of defining it otherwise. It cannot be placed in any other genus; others say it is otherness, inequality, or not-being, but none of these need be moved, nor are they the terminus or starting-point of motion any more than their opposites. 13. These thinkers define motion thus because it is thought to be indeterminate and the principles in one of the two columns are inde- terminate because they are privative; none of them is in any one of the categories. 17. Motion is thought to be indeterminate because it cannot be classed either with potentiality or with actualization, since neither that which can be, nor that which is, of a certain size need be moved. Motion is thought to be actualization, but incomplete, because that whose actualization it is is incomplete. It is difficult to grasp the nature of motion because it cannot be classed either as privation, as 326 COMMENTARY potentiality, or as unqualified actualization. It must, then, be actualiza- tion, and the actualization we:have defined ; it is difficult to grasp but capable of existing. 26. Clearly motion is in the movable ; for it is the actualization of this: by that which has the capacity to set in motion.’ And the actualization of the latter is none other; it must be the complete reality of both. The mover is movent by virtue of its capacity, but moves by virtue of its activity, and it is on the movable that it has the power of acting, so that the actualization of both is one, as the interval from one to two and that from two to one, or the uphill and the downhill slope, are one, their being not being one. The excerptor now passes to the discussion of movement, and gives extracts on it from PAys. iii. 1-3. Aristotle begins his account of movement by referring (1065» 5-7) to the distinction of potentiality and actuality, which is implied in the definition of movement he is about to give. After pointing out (ll. 7-14) that movement is always in respect of one or other of four categories—substance, quality, quantity, or place—and is movement between the opposite poles, so to say, which exist in the several cate- gories, he formulates (1. 16) his definition—movement is the actuality or actualization of that which exists potentially, in so far as it exists potentially. I.e. movement is not the actualization of the whole character of that which is moved. Building is not the actualization of the buildable gua bricks and stones; the buildable is actually bricks and stones before the building process begins. Building is the actualization of the buildable gua buildable, and in general of the movable gua movable. I.e. part of the character of the bricks and stones is their capacity of being arranged into the form of a house, and the process or movement of building is the actualization of this capacity (Il. 23-33). That it is so is confirmed (ll. 20-21, 34— 1006* 7) by the fact that the building process exists just when the actualization exists. Prima facie either the building process or the house might be regarded as the actualization of the buildable. Lut when the house has come into being, the buildable has ceased to be; on the other hand the buildable exists throughout the building process, since this implies at each moment that there is still something buildable and not yet built, some material that has not yet received the last touch from the builder’s hand. The process, therefore, rather than the pro- duct, is the actualization of the buildable, and what is true in this case is true in all cases. Movement is always the actualization of a latent capacity (10663 2-7). 1065" 5. 76 pev évepyela pdvoy, i.e. pure intelligences; 1d Sé Suvdper, i.e, such things as the infinite and the void, cf. ©. 1048) 9 ; 7 Sé Suvdper kat évepyeta, i.e, physical objects comprising both matter and form ; K. 9. 1065) 5—31 327 gua having form they are already actually something, gua having matter they are potentially something which they are not yet. 6. 75 pev dv.

This is not strictly true, since there is (according to Aristotle) eraBoAy in respect of only four categories (substance, quality, quantity, place) and «vyots in respect of only three (quality, quantity, place); cf. 106849. 14—1066# 7. An aggregate of bricks, stones, &c., may be regarded (1) as so many bricks, stones, &c., (2) as potentially a house, (3) as potentially being in course of being fashioned into a house. The movement of building is the realization not (1) of the materials as those materials (they are, previously to the building, already actually these materials), nor yet (2) of their potentiality of being a house (the house is the realization of that), but (3) of their potentiality of being fashioned into a house (7 oixodojntdv). Similarly every movement is a realization-of-a-potentiality which implies a further potentiality and only exists while the further potentiality is not yet realized.

The infinite is either that which cannot be traversed be- cause it is not its nature to be traversed, or that which is traversed with difficulty, or that which cannot be traversed though it is its nature to be traversed; again, it is infinite by addition or by subtraction or in both ways. (A) A separate entity it cannot be; for (1) if it is neither a magnitude nor a multitude but infinity is its whole nature, it is indivisible, and if so it is not infinite except in the sense in which the voice is invisible, which is not the sense in question. b7. (2) How can infinity exist per se if number and spatial magni- tude, whose attribute it is, do not so exist? 8. (3) If on the other hand it exists per acczdens, it is not gua in- finite an element in things, any more than the invisible is of speech, though the voice is invisible. 11. (4) That it cannot exist actually is clear. For any part of it must be infinite (since the infinite and infiniteness are the same thing, if the infinite is a substance), so that it must be either indivisible or divisible into infinites ; but the same thing cannot be many infinites, so that it must be indivisible. But that which is actually infinite cannot be indivisible, for it must have a certain quantity. The in- finite must therefore exist only per accidens, and therefore not it but that of which it is an attribute will be the first principle. 330 COMMENTARY 21. The above discussion is general; () that the infinite does not exist 7 sensible things follows from the facts (1) that if the definition of body is ‘that which is limited by planes’, there can be no infinite body whether sensible or intelligible, and (2) that since number is numerable, there can be no separately existinginfinite number. 26. The same fact is clear from the following physical considera- tions: (3) the infinite cannot (2) be composite, since the elements are limited in number; for ome of the elements cannot be infinite, the other finite, else the former would destroy the latter, and al/ cannot be infinite, since an infinite body must be infinite in all directions. 34. Nor (4) can the infinite be a simple body, either (i) as some- thing distinct from the elements from which the physicists generate the world (for there is no such body apart from the elements ; if there were such an element in things, they would be seen to be dissolved into it); or (ii) as one of the elements ; for apart from the difficulty of supposing one of them infinite, the universe, even if it is finite, cannot be or become any one of the elements, The same argument applies as in case (i); everything actually changes from contrary into con- trary. 1067* 7. (4) The sensible body is somewhere, and whole and part have the same proper place, so that if (a) the infinite body is homo- geneous, it will be unmoving or else always moving, but this is im- possible ; for why should it rest or move in one place rather than another? Where will any part of it move or rest? The place of the cognate body is infinite ; will it, then, occupy the whole place? How could it? It will either rest everywhere and nowhere be in motion, or move everywhere and nowhere be at rest. 15. If on the other hand (6) the all is not like throughout, the places will be unlike and (i) the body of the all will not be one save by con- tact ; (ii) the parts will be either finite or infinite in the number of their kinds. 18. (a) Finite they cannot be, for if the all is infinite, some parts will be infinite in size and will destroy the finite. parts; while (() if they are infinite and simple, the places will be infinite and there will be an infinite number of elements. If this is impossible and the places must be finite, the all also must be finite. 23. (5) In general, it is impossible that there should be an infinite body and at the same time a place for bodies; for if every sensible body is either heavy or light it will move either towards the centre or upwards, but neither the whole nor the half of an infinite body can behave thus; for how can you divide it? K. 10. 10668 35 — 1066) 26 331 28. (6) Every sensible body is in a place, and there are six varieties of place; but these cannot exist in an infinite body. And generally, if there cannot be an infinite place there cannot be an infinite body; for what is in place is up or down, &c., and each of these is a boundary. 33. The infinite is not the same thing in magnitude, motion, and time; motion, if it is infinite, is infinite in virtue of the distance traversed, and time is infinite in virtue of the motion that occupies it.

It is said to follow from this that there cannot be (1) an ultimate ele- ment other than the four, or (2) an ultimate element which is one of the four. Aristotle takes it as self-evident that (1) an element like that of Anaximander cannot be contrary to all the four d7Ad owpara, and (2) that none of these can be contrary to the other three. Further, any one who represents x as the element of all things, without drawing Aristotle’s distinction between matter and privation, thinks confusedly of « as something that persists in the compounds (which is implied in calling it their element) and yet as something that is left behind when they come into existence. 4. &mavta ylyveoOat mote mip. Cf. Heraclitus, frr. 30, 64, 66, go. Zeller i.° 867 translates this ‘all things will sometime become fire’, and uses it as indicating Heraclitus’ belief in a series of universal con- flagrations. Professor Burnet corrects the mistranslation (Z. G. P. § 78) and shows that Aristotle refers only to the Heraclitean doctrine of ‘the upward and downward path’. The evidence for a Heraclitean doctrine of a general conflagration is late and untrustworthy; cf. Burnet, §§ 77, 78. Aristotle does not say that there is a time at which all things together become fire, but that there is nothing which does not sometime become fire. 5-6. 68 adrds ... puorkot, ‘the same argument applies to this one of the four elements which is the element of all the others, as applied to the one apart from the four elements which the physicists (Anaxi- mander) posited’—for which cf. 1066 35—1067?

Aristotle does not mean that the place (i.e. 76 rod repiéxovros 7épas, the inner limit of that which contains the thing, Phys. 212% 20) of a whole is identically the same as that of any of its parts, but that the region of the universe proper to a whole is also the region proper to each of its parts. A clod of earth tends to fall towards the region proper to the earth, i.e. the part of the universe next the centre. ; The argument against an infinite body based on difficulties about its place discusses it under two alternative hypotheses, (a) that it is homogeneous throughout (Il. 9-15), (4) that it contains parts of different nature (ll. 15-23). otoy tis yfjs- Bz. would add kai Bodov past rom the Physics.

The argument to show that there cannot be a homogeneous infinite body is difficult. Aristotle first states the general position, and then (11-15) illustrates it by taking a particular case. The general argument is: (A) If the infinite body is homogeneous, it will be immovable or else always in motion. (2) This is impossible. (C) For why should it rest, or move, down, or up, or anywhere in particular, rather than anywhere else? (Therefore (D) there cannot be a homogeneous infinite body.) Here each of the first three propositions is difficult. (1) The justification for (A) seems to be as follows: Since the whole is homogeneous, there is no part of its place which is more appropriate to one part of the whole than to another. The natural conclusion then is that each part, and therefore the whole, should remain where it is. But if the whole should move, then since no part of its place is a more appropriate resting-place for any part of the whole than for any other, it will never cease moving. (2) (B) and (C) (rotro 8% ddvvarov* ti yap paddXov KaTw 7) dvw 3) éovodr ;) look as if they referred only to the second alternative conse- quent (det oicfjoerar). But if that be so, the first alternative is never shown to be false, and the antecedent (ci éuoedés) is never refuted. rovro dé ddvvarov must be taken to set aside both alternatives. This it will do if ré yap paAAov Kdétw 7) avw 7) dzovoty be taken to mean ‘why should any part of the whole be resting unmoved, or be moving, in the downward or the upward or any particular region?’ The question is grounded on the fact that, the whole being homo- geneous, every part of its region is equally proper to every part of the whole. xdrw, avw, érovodv must refer to the place of rest, or motion, of the parts of the infinite whole; as applied to the whole itself they would be unmeaning. Accordingly Aristotle proceeds to illustrate his argument by the case of a clod of earth, g. Simplicius points out that the opposition of dmuoedes to dvo- povoy is not identical with that of dzAoty to ovvOerov (1066 26). A oiv@erov is dmoedés if its elements so thoroughly coalesce as to lose their own nature, as happens in pigis as Aristotle conceives it. 10-15. Aristotle now comes to the particular case, that of a clod of earth. He considers and rejects various alternatives that present themselves. (1) Will the single clod occupy the whole region of earth? Obviously not. (2) How else can it rest, or move? (@) Sup- pose it to rest somewhere, it will equally well rest everywhere (all parts of the region of earth being alike to it), and so will never move. (4) Sup- pose it to move in one place, it will equally move everywhere, and so will never rest. That it should never move, and that it should never rest, Aristotle treats as alike absurd, in view of his experience of the fact that earth sometimes moves, viz. when it is not as near the centre 334 COMMENTARY of the universe as it can get, and sometimes rests, viz. when it is as near as it can get. 12.

Light is thrown on the argu- ment by 1066 28-34. A finite number of kinds cannot make an in- finite whole, because some of them (i.e. at least one) would have to be infinite in quantity in order to make up an infinite whole, and these (or this one) would swamp and destroy the others, and prevent the whole from having the variety it is supposed to have. Aristotle tacitly assumes that a// the kinds could not be infinite in quantity ; they are limited by each other and thus cannot all be infinite. 20. xal dmha, ‘and if the parts which differ in species are themselves simple’.

Any dAXoiwos, avenos OF POicis, OF hopa is yeveois Tis, and can equally well be called ¢Oopa tis (1. 24).

Nothing is left for the third kind, change é€ ioxeipévov eis troxelpevov (Il. 15), and in fact Aristotle mentions it no more except very briefly in 106844. The fact is that change of quality, size, or place may be regarded under either of two aspects. Take for instance change of quality. Aristotle first intends to bring it under the head of change e& trroxeipévov eis Uroxeipevov. It is change from X which is A to X which is B, where A and B are positive and contrary qualities. He meant to treat only generation as change ovx e& troxeiévov eis brokeiwevov, but by an after-thought brings qualitative change also under this heading. It may be described not only as it has beenabove, but also as change from X which is not B to X which is B. Or again it may equally well be described as #@opa tis, the destruction of X which is A. 25. To kata otvOeow 7 Staipeow. This is what is in N. 1089%28 (cf.

The terms between which movement (as opposed to genera- tion and destruction) takes place are not contradictories but contraries or intermediates between contraries. Privative terms, though not strictly contraries (since only the extreme degree of privation is con- trariety, @, 1046 14, I. 1055 35), may be classed with contraries since they stand not for the mere absence of a quality but for its absence from a subject which is in some degree qualified to have it. The termini of movement are, unlike the “ermznus a quo of genera- tion and the ¢ermznus ad quem of destruction, expressed by a positive word (dydodrau karapdoer), such as ‘naked ’, ‘toothless’, ‘ black’. ‘Naked’ and ‘toothless’ are typical privative terms, but ‘black’ is for Aristotle a typical contrary. kat dyAoctrar katapdoret, otoy 75 yupvov kal vwdov Kat éAav therefore follows in sense not on kal yap 7 orépyors xetoOw éevayriov (which must be treated as parenthetical), but on ra & brokeipeva 7) évayTia i) meracv. 2578-2 Z 338 COMMENTARY 7. Bz. in Artst, Stud. i. 37 points out that Aristotle displays great constancy in his choice of examples, and that he nowhere else cites yupvdy as an instance of a privative term. He thinks either ruddAov (cf. Cat. 10 passim, A. 1022” 26) or Wuypov (cf. Cat. 12634, De Caelo 286226, De Gen. e¢ Corr. 318” 17) preferable. But yupvov is quite appropriate, and it would be a mistake to-emend it when the evidence of all the manuscripts both of PAyszes and of AZelaphysics, and of Simplicius and Themistius, is in its favour. Denial of change of change (ch. 12). 106828. There are three kinds of movement—of quality, quantity, and place; not of substance, because substance has no contrary; nor of relation, for change of relation is accidental to the terms that undergo it; nor of agent and patient, since there is no movement of movement, nor generation of generation, nor, in general, change of change. 16. For (A) change of change would imply (1) that change is a subject of change, which it clearly is not; or (2) that some other subject changes from change into some other mode of existence. 22. But this could only be per accidens. For change is from oppo- site to opposite. Hence the subject would be changing at the same time from health to disease and from this change to another, i. e. into the opposite change, convalescence ; but this can only be per accidens, just as there is a change from recollecting to forgetting only because the subject changes into a state of knowledge and then into a state of ignorance. 33. (2) There will be an infinite regress if there is to be change of change. If coming to be was sometime coming to be, that which comes to be something was itself sometime coming to be, so that there was not yet that which simply comes to be something, but there was already something coming to be coming to be something. But this was sometime itself coming to be, so that it was not yet coming to be something else. Now in an infinite series there is no first and there- fore no subsequent term, so that there would be no change at all. »6. (C) Generation and destruction belong to the same subject, so that that which comes to be is being destroyed when it has come to be coming to be; it must be then that it is being destroyed, for it cannot be before or after. 10. (D) What can be the nature of the underlying matter of change K. 12. 10684 7-8 339 or becoming, and what can it be that they change into? The change must be change of something from something into something. 15. Since there is no change of substance, of relation, or of action and passivity, change must be in respect of quality, quantity, or place, each of which contains a contrariety ; quality meaning not that which is included in the essence but that which is a mere affection of its subject. 20. The unchangeable means (1) in general, that which cannot change; (2) that which changes with difficulty or slowly; (3) that which is capable of changing but does not change when, where, and as it might; this alone of unchanging things is said to be at rest, rest being the contrary of motion and therefore presupposing the same gubject. Sundry definitions. 26. Those things are fogether in place which are in the same proxi- mate place; those things ouch whose extremities are together; those things are Jefween at which that which continuously changes arrives before it arrives at the extremes. Those things are contrary in place which are at the greatest distance in a straight line; that is successive to another which comes after the beginning and has nothing of the same kind between it and that which it succeeds. That is contiguous which is successive and touches. 1069* 2. Since all change is between opposites, i.e. between either contraries or contradictories, and the latter have no intermediates, what is between must be between contraries. 5. The continuous is a species of the contiguous ; it is found when the boundaries of the touching things are one. 8. ‘Successive’ is evidently the first of these terms; for what touches must be successive but not vce versa, and the continuous must touch but not wece versa. Therefore the point is not the same as the unit; for points have contact but units only successiveness, and points have intermediates but units have not. 1068°8. In this list of categories qoré, keto Oar, and éxew are omitted The omission of the latter two is regular; they occur only in Caz, 1b 27, 2%2 f., Top. 103 23. It seems probable that Aristotle had come to regard them not as categories but as sub-categories—perhaps (as Mr. Collingwood has suggested to me) merging them respectively in dudes and é£is, two of the sub-forms of zowy (Caz. 8 26—g* 13). moré occurs in the common text of the corresponding passage in Z2 340 COMMENTARY the Physics (225 6), but is omitted by EH and by Simplicius (and in the summary in 22623), and its absence is required by the logic of the sentence. Aristotle shows that there are four cate- gories in which there is no movement, and concludes that there are only three in which there is movement._ He must, then, have a list of only seven in his mind, Such a list occurs nowhere else in his writings. Simplicius quotes a discussion by Alexander of the question why there is no movement in the category of time, and discusses the subject himself (829. 29—832. 25). The reason for Aristotle’s omission of time here is probably that he saw that time, having the peculiar relation to a movement of being its number (Phys. 219>1), could not also be related to it as either subject or terminus. 10. kat’ ovaiavy 8 ov. There is change (ueraPody) in respect of substance, but it is not movement (xivyois) but generation and de- struction, being between contradictories, not between contraries. Cf. 1067» 21, 1068 25.

There is no movement of, i.e. in respect of, relation, because A may change in respect of its relation to B when A itself does not change at all but only B.

IZ. o08€ movodvros Kai mdoxovtos. I.e. there is not, besides move- ment in size, quality, and place, another kind of movement in respect of action or passivity. Movement from one activity to another or from one passivity to another or from activity to passivity or vzce versa is, as Aristotle will try to show in ll. 22-33, merely incidental to alteration, increase or diminution, or locomotion. It is true that acceleration or retardation, or change of direction of movement, is incidental to locomotion, but that is no reason why these should not be viewed as belonging to a distinct class of move- ments, i.e. movements from one movement to another. 14. ktvodvTos Kal Kivounevou, variant names for the categories of roeiy and wdoxew.

But this is absurd. (2) (1. 20ff.). Some other subject might be supposed to change from a state of change into another mode of being. Simpl. and Phil. interpret cis érepov efdos in Phys. 225 22 (answering to ets dAdo el8os, 10684 21) as ‘into another kind of change’, But that is not a natural interpretation of é« peraBodgzrs eis dAXo efdos.

For this distinction be- tween generation-and-destruction and the other kinds of change cf. 1067521 and note, Phys, 23513, 261%8.

Aristotle now proceeds to illustrate what he has referred to in ], 23—a change from one change to another, incidental to a change from one s/a/e to another. aya at first sight seems questionable ; it would seem that the change from change A to change B must succeed change A. But, as Simplicius points out, of that which is changing into something else some part must still have something of its former quality (T. 1010418). Change A must partly exist while it is changing into change B, 27. av voonon, ‘if it has fallen ill’. 28. eis dmovavoiy, sc. pera BoAnv, ‘into whatever may be the other change concerned’, évdéxerar yap hpepety is difficult.

Phil. and Simpl. take Aristotle to be referring to the fact that after falling ill one may rest in the state of illness, and rejecting that fact as irrelevant to the case considered. ‘lz the case supposed, viz. that of change from one change to another, that which has changed from health to ‘disease has also changed from falling ill to recovering (though we must remember that 27 fac/ it may rest in the state of disease) ’.

Smith’s emendation of iyieay. One would expect this clause to refer solely to the case last mentioned, the change from remember- ing to forgetting, while tyieay introduces a reference to the remoter case of change from falling ill to recovering. Further, éré... 6ré refers naturally not to different cases but to successive stages in the same case. Again, tyiea in the one case does not answer to érucrjyy in the other. The corresponding pairs of terms are as follows: There is primarily a change from health to illness, or from ignor- ance to knowledge, and incidentally a change from falling ill to re- covering, from recollecting to forgetting. Thus the corresponding term to émorjun is vocos. Finally, the change from recollecting to forgetting is incidental not merely to the change from ignorance to knowledge but also to a subsequent change from knowledge to ignorance. On all these grounds, dyvovay seems to be a necessary emendation ; it is confirmed by the interpretations of Simplicius (842. 18, 24, 26—843. 1) and Philoponus (853. 32, 854. 3). 34. dvdykn Sh Kal thy mpotépay, sc. yeverw yiyverOu. Aristotle takes up the particular case of yevéoews yéeveous rather than the more general one of peraBodjs peraBody. If a generation is generated, its generation must have been generated, and so ad infinitum. 35. ami yéveots has not here its technical meaning of generation as opposed to change in size, quality, or place (cf. 1067) 22 f.)—a meaning which would be pointless here. It means the original, simple coming to be as opposed to the ‘coming to be coming to be’ which has just been mentioned in #34 and will be mentioned again in b2. by~g. In the extraordinary variety of readings recorded here by the manuscripts and the Greek commentators it is hard to choose that which Aristotle is most likely to have written. There would be little profit in discussing the readings in detail, but the following remarks may be made : K. 12. 1068? 29 — 1068 10 343 (1) The balance of evidence is in favour of omitting da)és in |. 1, and the sense is not seriously affected by this.

More probably Simplicius is right in taking jpéuynous to mean the rest which is contrary to the original movement. According to this view Aristotle means that what can move from A to B can also move from B to A or rest at A. In any case kat jpéuyors is paren- thetical, since the possibility of the opposite movement is alone what concerns the argument. 8-10. dote ... POerpduevov.

For what is perishing must exist ; and the yvyvd- pevov does not exist at either of those times; at one of them there is only a yuyvopevoy yeyvdpevov, at the other only a YEVOVOS.

The essential, in the meaning of a privative word, is not that the sub- ject cannot, but that it does not, have the positive attribute when it might be expected to have it. Cf.

Rest is privation of movement in that which is capable of movement, and therefore not in things which are rather non-movable than immovable (76 dAws ddvvarov kweioOa.). 26—106914. The terms whose relations Aristotle is mainly in- terested in working out are darecOa, é&fjs, éxouevov, ovvexés. apa is introduced as implied in the definition of contact, peragv as implied in the definition of é&js, and évayriov xara Té7ov as connected with the definition of peraév. The relations between the four main terms are not altogether clear. Aristotle begins by defining contact (éardmevov) and succession (és) quite independently of one another, and says that both attributes must be united to make an éyopuevoy (10691). Thus, to take Simplicius’ examples, two successive numbers are not éyoueva be- cause they are not in contact; and a coat in contact with the body is not éxdpevoy to it because it is not successive to it, not being of the same kind (cf. the definition of succession, 1068” 31); but two suc- cessive houses which touch are éydueva. Later, however, Aristotle implies (1069 g) that €éjs is a wider term including dropevov. 76 yap fs ovx amrerat (‘is not necessarily in contact’), rotro 8’ éfjs. If this be so, if the dréuevov be necessarily é&js, then éyouevov is a mere synonym of dmrémevov and ll. 1, 2 are misleading. Finally, the continuous is described indifferently as a species of the éxdpevoy (1. 5), or of the daropevov (1. 10). It is the species in which the extremities are not merely together but are one. K. 12. 1068 11 — 1069 5 345 Thus there is a confusion between two arrangements of the concep- tions, which may be represented thus: (1) €Ejs OmrTopevov | | ‘\ ve | / pay aarropevov daropevov + €&ns py ess | XO /LeVOV | | | ouveEXes pay ovvexes (2) oe | | drropevov = éxdoevov pn €xopevov | ovvexes pay ovvexes The latter is the prevalent classification in Aristotle. In no pas- sage other than the present is there any attempt to distinguish exopevov from darropevov. 26. doa év évi témm mpdtw. ‘You are ev 76 ovpavG because you are ev TO dept, ev TO aepr because you are ev TH yp, év TH yy because you are in this place which contains nothing but you’ (P&ys. 2098 33- bi).

E. g. the ends of two lines which meet may be said to be dua, but this only means that one point serves as the end of both lines. But, since dpa is used in the definition not of continuity but of the less close relation of contact (1. 27), and in the PAyszcs the unity of the d«pa is expressly distinguished from their being dya (2277 22), it is evident that the former is Aristotle’s meaning, 33. oloy ypappal ypappjjs, ‘e.g. lines between the given line and the first line of the series’, 106922-5. émei , . . petagd.

Now every line is between points, and therefore there is sometimes a peragv between points; but if points ever touched, as Aristotle has (1. 12) said they can, there would be no peragév between them. And on the other hand, though successive units have not a peragv, non-successive units have. Thus the opposition is ill thought-out. BOOK a Jaeger (Arts. 229 ff.) has various arguments in favour of an early date for A. (1) Metaphysics is here restricted to the study of non-sensible sub- stance; the study of sensible substance in chs. 1-5 is merely pre- liminary (1069 36—» 2). But Z contains equally explicit statements of this view, and //zs argument appears to have no force. (2) A. 1071» 6 expresses like K (1060% 22) the view that if there were nothing apart from sensible things there would be no per- manence in the world. Contrast this with the more guarded state- ments of Z. 10335, H. 104315. Like K (1060% 12), A (1071? 20, 1073 4) treats the object of metaphysics as being that which is present in no sensible thing. (3) There is a very close connexion between A and the early book N. 1072» 30-107323 is based on 1092*g-17, 1075” 37-1076*4 on Ke-t2 10609" 1T1—1 3 347 1090? 13-20, 10757 25-33 on 10872 29-) 6, 1075*% 34-36 on Iog1® 35-37, 30-32. But the astronomical theory of Callippus mentioned in ch. 8 belongs to the period 330-325, quite near the end of Aristotle’s life (Jaeger, Arist. 365-367, Heath, Aristarchus of Samos, 197,198, 212). Jaeger points to the difference between the sketchy style of the other chapters, with its series of terse arguments introduced by such words or phrases aS pera Tadra Ort, eri, Kal, dua dé, dpolws Sé, 7) Kai (1069 35, 1070? 4, 1074” 21, 25, 36, 38, 1075* 5, 6, 34, © 14, 16, 28, 34), and the ample style of ch. 8. The astronomical detail of this chapter breaks harshly into the continuity of the speculative theology of chs. 7, 9. Aristotle seems originally, in the Iept ®urocodias, to have replaced Plato’s notion of a world-soul by that of a separate first mover, but to have retained the notion that each star or planet is moved by a single star-soul. The doctrine of ch. 8 is due to the influence exerted on this early mode of thought by Eudoxus’ analysis of each planetary orbit into several distinct rotatory movements. But the two lines of thought are not satisfactorily combined ; there remain inconsistencies which were already pointed out by Plotinus (Zu. v. 1. 9). In particular the section 1074 31-38 is a fragment (in the curt style characteristic of A apart from ch. 8) representing the older doctrine, and inconsistent with the later doctrine of the ‘intelligences’. There is in this section nothing to which otro in > 3 can refer, but with this section removed ofrox is seen to refer to Oetwy cwpdrwv in * 30, Ch. 8 then seems to represent a late venture of Aristotle’s in a field in which he was not really at home. He deserts here the path of metaphysical speculation and enters on that of astronomical observation and mathematical reasoning ; and his prentice hand betrays itself in the arithmetical mistake of 1074% 13. Freudenthal’s careful study of the quotations made by Averroes, in his commentary on this book, from the commentary of Alexander has established the fact that Averroes had before him the genuine com- mentary of Alexander (or rather an Arabic translation of a Syriac version of it), while the commentary which passes under the name of Alexander is not genuine. He argues with great probability that the latter work is to be dated somewhere between a. D. 450 and 600. The same judgement must probably be passed on the commentary on Books E-K, M, N, which have long been thought to stand on a differ- ent footing from the admittedly genuine commentary on A-A. The fact that Averroes was dealing with a translation of a translation greatly diminishes the value of his citations from Alexander, but some important 348 COMMENTARY hints are to be got from him. Similarly the value of Themistius’ commentary is greatly diminished by the fact that we possess it only in a Hebrew translation of an Arabic translation ; but here again some- thing may be learnt of the text which Themistius had before him, The three kinds of substance. Change implies matter as well as form and privaiion (chs, 1, 2). 106918. Our subject is substance. For (1) if the universe is a whole, substance is its first part, and (2) if it is only a series, sub- stance is prior to the other categories, Further, these others have not being in the unqualified sense, or we shall have to say that things like ‘the not-white’ have it also. Further, none of the other cate- gories can exist apart. It was of swdsfance, too, that the ancient thinkers investigated the causes. Modern thinkers owing to their abstract method make universals substances, but the ancients identi- fied substance with some particular body such as fire. go. There are three kinds of substance :-— (A) the sensible, including (A 1) the eternal, and (A 2) the perishable (which is recognized by all)—e. g. plants and animals, (&) the unchangeable, to which some thinkers assign separate exis- » tence; (a) distinguishing Forms and mathematical objects, (4) identifying them, or (c) recognizing mathematical objects alone. (A) is discussed by physics, (2) by metaphysics. » 3. Since change is from one contrary or the middle state to the other contrary, there must-be a substratum which changes (for the contraries do not change), and which remains when the contrary does not remain ; and this something is matter. g. There are four kinds of change— (1) in respect of the ‘ what ’—generation and destruction, (2) in respect of quality—alteration, (3) in respect of quantity—growth and diminution, (4) in respect of place—locomotion. 14. The matter which changes must be capable of both states. All change is from the potential to the actual, from that which is not (actually), but also is (potentially). 20. Anaxagoras, Empedocles, Anaximander, and Democritus all pointed to matter in their view of the original state of the universe. 24. Different things have different kinds of matter; things that are A. I. 1069% 19-23 349 not capable of being generated have matter for locomotion. We must not say with Anaxagoras ‘all things were together’, for if they had not differed in matter they would not have come to be different, the reason which was at work on them being admittedly uniform. 32. Thus there are three principles, form, privation, matter. 1069* 19-21. Aristotle states here two alternative ways in which the universe may be regarded, (1) as ddov 11, (2) as 7d edeés, i. €. as being a universe by virtue merely of forming a series. Bz. explains the meaning of dAoy 7c in opposition to this by reference to I, 1052222 76 drov Kal exov Twa poppy Kai eidos, A. 1016) 12 dv pH 71 GAov 7, TOdTO - de dy py 7 €ldos exy ev (cf: H. 10457 10, M. 10772 28, 1084? 30). One may regard the universe as being a unity of form and matter, as every individual substance (except those which are pure forms) is, and in this case, Aristotle says, substance, i.e. substance as form, is evidently the primary element in it. Cf. Z. 10295 70 eidos THs VAns mpdTepov Kat paddov ov. If on the other hand we regard the universe as consisting merely of the categories arranged in a series, substance is evidently the first member of the series. Bz.’s explanation is, however, not satisfactory. Substance is here contrasted not with matter but with the other categories. The sub- stance which is the subject of study in these chapters (1-5) is not specially substance as form but substance in all the senses enumerated in A. 8, Z. 2, including substance as matter (1069225, 1070%9), as form (10707 rr), and as individual thing (1070412). The contrast is simply that between the view of the universe as a genuine unity, in which substance is the primary element, and the view of it as forming a loosely connected series (the view, in fact, of Speusippus, which is referred to in this book, 1075» 37)—in which case substance is at any rate the first member. 22. It is doubtful whether we should read aAX¢ with the manuscripts or otov with Alexander and Bz. The latter is the easier reading ; the former compels us to take zovéryres in a wider sense than roy, and to suppose that all the categories other than substance are summed up under the two headings zowryres and xwyces. Evidently it would be impossible to bring the categories of relation, time, and place under either heading ; but at any rate quality and quantity might be grouped under wowdryres, and roety and rdoyewv under kivyoes, and Aristotle may have meant the mention of zoidryres and kwyjoes to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. It would be hard to explain the origin of the vulgate reading 7adAAa adda from an original radra otov, while ratra é\Aa& makes the corruption natural enough.

This reading, as Prof. Jackson has pointed out (/. of P. xxix. 139 f.), A, 1. 10698 26 — 2. 1069? 23 351 presents the following difficulties. (a) Why does Aristotle, who in A. 989 17 identifies Anaxagoras’ vods with 76 & in the Platonic sense of that term, and his ravo7eppta with Oarepov, here assert that é is a better description of the zavo7epyia than 600 wdvra? (0) By what right does Aristotle use ptyya to describe the material principle of Anaxi- mander, who was a monist? (c) What does Aristotle mean by ascribing to Democritus the doctrine that jy duod mavra duvdmer, éevepyeta 8 ob ? (d) Is not the addition of duvdpet, evepyeia 8 ov just what ought to reconcile Aristotle to Anaxagoras’ theory of the material cause? To find the material principle of Anaxagoras described as 76 & and that of Anaximander as 76 piyya is certainly somewhat surprising, and Liitze proposed accordingly to transpose ’Avagaydpov and ’Avagipav- dpov. He also renewed Karsten’s proposal to excise BéAriv yap 7) épod ravra. This, however, isan unnecessary tampering with the text. Jackson adopts the less violent remedy of reading ov for ev and alter- ing the - Punctuation so that the sentence reads kal rovr’ é core 70 “Avaga- yopov ov* BéArov yap }) 6pod mdvra (Kat Epredoxdéous, 70 pty, Kat “Avagydvdpov, Kat os Anpdxpitds pnow) jv dpod wavra Suvdper evepyeia 5 ov. On his interpretation (1) the subject of BeArvov yup 7 dod mévra. is “ Hv dod ravra Suvdper é evepyela. 8 od”, (2) EpredoxAcous and *Avaéuadvdpov depend on 76 dy, and 76 prypa is parenthetical and refers to Empedocles alone, (3) the words kai "EymedoxAéous . . . pyow in- dicate that the doctrines of Empedocles, Anaximander, and Democritus should, like that of Anaxagoras, be amended by the admission that the material principle in its elemental state is only potentially existent.

The first and the third point of Jackson’s interpretation seem to be right, but in two respects a view different from his seems preferable. (1) 10 "Avagayopov é& can be defended. It is true that 75 & does not seem to have been used by.'!Anaxagoras as a technical name for his material principle. But that principle is called a prypya (Phys. 187% 23, A. 1012 28), and 76 piypa ev Bovderau civar (De Sensu 447” 10), so that zo &v iS not an inappropriate name for it, and in PAys, 187% 21 it is actually called é&. It is true that in contrast with vots it may be opposed to ‘the one’; but in contrast with the various substances that come out of it it is properly called one. (2) It is not necessary to take ’EyzedoxAéovs 76 prypa kal’ Avasiyavdpov in the awkward way in which Jackson takesit. It has commonly been thought necessary to apologize for, or explain away, the description of Anaximander’s dzeipoy as a piypa. Thus Zeller supposes that it is by an ‘easy zeugma’ that piyya, which is strictly applicable to Empe- docles, is applied to Anaximander (i? 279n. 1), and Prof. Burnet at one time (Z. G. P.? 59) regarded kat "Epzedoxhéous 70 piypa as an 352 COMMENTARY afterthought and held that “Avagiudvdpov depended on 76 & (he now, ed. 3, p. 56, takes “Avagimavdpou to depend on 76 piypa). Zeller has little difficulty in refuting (i.6 277-283) Ritter’s view that Anaximander’s dzreipoy was a mechanical compound in which the elements were actually present, and he-therefore thinks it can only loosely be called a ptyya. But the fact is that in Aristotle’s terminology “the word piyya (a complete fusion) is more appropriate to Anaxi- mander’s dzepov in which the elements were only potentially present than to the original matter of Empedocles and Anaxagoras in which they were actually present. The latter isa mechanical ovvOerov rather than a genuine piyya. It is true that Aristotle nowhere else calls Anaximander’s deipov a piywa. But then he mentions Anaximander by name only five times; and further he may have avoided the ex- pression elsewhere because Anaximander himself had not used it, while he uses it of Empedocles probably because Empedocles used it himself, in a natural though non-Aristotelian sense. 25. Bz.’s conjectural insertion of érepa appears not to be necessary. Schwegler’s parallels for aAN’ érépay, A. gg1» 10, H. 1044230, I. 1058) 15, are not sound, but the use of &\Ao for dAXo a\Aov in 10718 28 seems to be a good parallel. 26.

Aris- totle answers explicitly in N, as he does implicitly here («i 34 te éore dvvdper,]. 28), that it is from the third kind of not-being that generation proceeds. Alexander gives a similar account of the three senses, except that for the first he substitutes 76 pnday7 pndapds dv, that which in no sense is.

For in all change something (matter) is changed by something (proximate mover) into something (form). If not only the bronze came to be round but also the round or the bronze came to be, this would involve an infinite regress. 1070? 4. Every substance comes from another of the same kind, (A) by art (where the principle of becoming is in something else), (B) by nature (where the principle of becoming is in the thing itself), (C) by luck (which means the absence of art), or (D) by spontaneity (which means the absence of natural process). g. There are three kinds of substance— (A) matter, which is af¢arenily an individual something but coheres merely by contact, not organically, (B) the individual nature and positive state of a thing, (C) the resulting individual. 13. In the case of the products of art, the individual form does not exist apart from the concrete result, except in so far.as the arf is the form; nor do the forms of such things come into being or pass out of being ; if the form ever exists apart, it is in the case of natural objects. Plato was not far wrong when he said that there are Forms of xafural objects, if there ave Forms distinct from sensible things. *Such as fire, flesh, head, which form a series of materials progressively approaching the complete substance * (these words should probably be transferred to 1. rr). 21. Motive causes precede, formal causes are simultaneous with, the thing they produce. It is a further question whether the form ever survives the thing. E.g. the reasonable part of the soul may survive the body. 26. So far, there is no need for Ideas. The individual produces the individual of the same class, and each specific art is the cause of its specific result. 2578-2 Aa 354 COMMENTARY 1069” 35. peta taita Sr, ‘next we must observe that’. This phrase (repeated 1070 4) is one of the clearest indications of the fact, apparent throughout chs. 1-5, that Aristotle is jotting down notes for a treatise (or lecture), not writing a treatise in its finished form; cf. 107122n. Alexander remarks on the ‘confused and disordered’ form of the book (673. 34). 36. Aéyw Sé 7a ecyata, Alexander takes Aristotle to mean the ulti- mate matter, that which is farthest from the individual yryvopevor, and the proximate form, that which is nearest to it (‘ Socrates’ as opposed to ‘flesh’).

If the éoydry vAn is dveideos tAy the éoxa- tov eidos should be diAov efdos, and this is what ra éoyata means in Meteor. 390*5. The instances Aristotle gives, however, are roundness and bronze (1070 3), which are instances of the proximate matter and form, those immediately involved in the yéveous, and it is of these that in Z.-8 Aristotle has shown that they are not generated (1033 29), i.e. are not generated in the process of generating the bronze sphere. The bronze has been generated by previous processes, but that is beside the question. In saying A€yw de ra éoxara Aristotle does not mean that ultimate matter and form ave generated, but merely that he is not speaking of them. For éoxaros in the sense of ‘ proximate’ cf. Bz.

It is awkward that while éoyarov means ‘last, counting from the original state of things’, zpGrov means ‘first, counting from the yryvdpevor’, but Aristotle is indifferent to such inconsistencies. 4. peta taita dtu, cf. 1069) 35n.

Aristotle holds that, in natural and artistic production alike, A produces an actual B out of a potential B by virtue of the fact that A has the form of B in it. The male parent produces the offspring out of the matter contributed by the female parent, by impressing on the matter the form which is the form alike of the male parent and of the offspring. The artist produces the work of art out of the raw material by impressing on the latter the form of the product, which he ‘has’ by virtue of knowing the art in question. The difference is that in the first case the producer ‘ has’ the form in the same sense in which the offspring will have it, and is therefore called by the same name, while in the second case the producer ‘ has’ the form only in the sense of knowing it, and is therefore not called by the same name. Thus a house is not produced by a house but by the ‘form of house’ in the A. 3. 1069) 35 — 10702 9 355 builder’s mind, and is therefore not produced strictly éx cvvwvtmov (or e€ duwvdpov, used loosely in Z. 1034* 22 in the sense of éx cvvwvdpov) but é« pepovs duwvdpov, from a part of itself which shares its name (Z. 10347 23). The difference stated in 1. 7 between art as an dpyi) Kwyoews ev @\Xw and nature as an dpyiy év aird is Aristotle’s usual distinction between them. It is appropriate to most natural processes, where a living being produces changes in itself, but is not appropriate to generation, where the change produced is év 4\Aw. The definition of nature really breaks down in the case of generation, but Aristotle would presumably seek to justify it by saying that in some sense the parent and the offspring, being members of the same species, are the same, or that in some sense the offspring is a part of the parent (cf. £.

TUN Kal TavTdpaTov) aTepyoets ToUTwY. tovToparor is strictly the generic term, including all cases in which (1) something that is normally produced directly by the unconscious teleo- logy of nature is produced as a merely incidental result of a natural pro- cess, or (2) something that is normally produced directly by purposive human agency (here rather narrowly described as réyv7) is produced as a merely incidental result of a purposive act (PAys. 197) 18, ® 36); while rvx7 is confined to the second type of case (PAys. 1977 36, » 2, 20). Sometimes, however, riyn and rairdéuarov are used without dis- tinction in the general sense, and sometimes (as here) tattépuatov tends to be confined to the first type of case, t¥yn being the orépyors téxvys and rairdéuarov the orépyois picews. Aristotle has said that all substances are produced ék cvvwvvpov, and that some are produced by rvyy or tavropatov. But he does not mean that these are produced éx ovvwvdmov; spontaneously produced animals are produced ov dm ovyyevav (H. A. 539% 22), and in chance events the art which is ‘synonymous’ with its product is lacking. He views chance and spontaneity, which are the negations of art and nature, as the exceptions that prove the rule. The words ‘chance’ and ‘spon- taneity ’, being meant merely to indicate the absence, in certain cases, of artistic or natural action, indicate that such action, with the ‘ synony- mity’ which it implies, is the normal thing.

Aristotle is not referring to the general fact that forms come into being not by a process but instantaneously (Z. 10335), but to some mode of ‘being and not being without generation and destruction’ which is peculiar to the forms of arfefacta. This can only be the artist’s instantaneously think- ing of them and ceasing to think of them. So Alexander interprets the words. 17. G\N’ elwep, emt tav ducer. This goes back in sense to éml pev ovy tTivav KTA. (I. 13), ll. 15-17 being parenthetical. Aristotle does not think that the form of living things (ra @¥cet), i. €. their soul, is in general capable of separate existence. Cf. Phys. 193% 4, De An. 403°16, It is only reason that can exist apart (De An. 413) 26, 430917, G. A. 73799, £. WV.1178% 22). Herevhe simply says that at any rate the forms of lifeless things canmof exist apart. 18. For Plato’s limitation (though not in the dialogues) of the Ideas to natural objects cf. A. 991» 6n. It is noteworthy that the doctrine is ascribed to Plato himself and not merely to the ‘ believers in Ideas’, But Alexander as recorded by Averroes read ot ra cidy riBepevor épacav, and Themistius seems to have had the same reading (8. 13). Ig. elwep Eotw eiSn GAAa ToUTwy gives a good sense, ‘if there are A. 3. 1070% 10—21 35% Forms distinct from the things here on earth’ (rév dedpo Kal aicOyrav Al.). tatra does not seem to be used in this sense elsewhere by Aristotle, but it is by Plato (Parm. 133 p 3, Phil. 5885, 62A9). If we adopt this reading we must suppose with Alexander that ofov . . teXevraia (Il. 19-20) is out of place, and is really a note to doa. . dzroKel- pevov (Il, 10-11). Bz.’s interpretation, ‘if there are Forms other than these things, i. e. than fire,’ &c. gives an unnatural sense. If we read add’ od to’twv, we should have to interpret rovrwy as referring forward and as explained by oiov rip oapé kepady. But (1) Tovrwy otoy in this sense is very unnatural, and (2) the denial of Forms . of fire, flesh, or head does not agree with what we know of Plato’s theory. otov...teAevrata would come in much more naturally in ], 11, and it must be remembered that the first five chapters of A pre- sent, more perhaps than any other part of the AZetaphysics, the appearance of a rather hastily put together series of notes, in which mis- placements are likely to have occurred. Cf. note on 1069? 35, 19-20. Fire, being a drAotv cpa, is the sort of material out of which flesh, a djovopepés, is made. Flesh is the sort of material out of which the head, an dvopovopepés, is made. The head is the sort of material out of which a living body, which is a substance in the full sense, ismade. Cf. G. A. 715%9—-11, Z. 1040? 5-10, 21-26. This passage has been used by Brentano as one of the main arguments for his view that the human reason, though imperishable, is not pre-existent from eternity, but is created by God at some point in the development of the embryo. This view is opposed not only to the explicit statement that reason is eternal (De An. 430% 23), but to the principle that what cannot perish cannot have been generated (De Caelo 282° 31, 283%29, » 19). Aristotle’s assertion that the formal cause is simultaneous with its effect (I. 22) implies, no doubt, that it not only is when its effect is, but comes into being when its effect comes into being (Az. Post. 95% 22). But that of which Aristotle says that it may persist after the effect (the living body) has perished (Il. 24—- 26) is not the same thing which is described as coming into being when the living body does. The soul as a whole comes into being with the body and (J. 26) perishes with it; but something (ru ]. 24), i.e. some element of the soul, may persist, viz. the reason, or more definitely the vots mountixos (De An. 430%17); and this Aristotle cer- tainly conceives as existing before birth no less than after death. ‘The soul is both generated and perishable, but there is 71 rs Wuxjs which is neither. The reference to the eternity of reason is parenthetical ; the main point of the passage is to set aside the Platonic notion (cf. 1. 18) that Forms exist apart from and independently of the things whose Forms they are. Rather, they exist only when the concrete things do so, and only as elements in them. Further (Il. 26-30), separate Forms are not-necessary in order to explain generation; in natural production the cause is an individual parent, in artistic production it is the art, which must be present in the mind of an individual artist. 358 COMMENTARY For the uselessness of the Forms in explaining generation cf.

(A) The causes of different things are different, but (2) analogically all are the same. 35. (A) (1) What could be the common cause of relations and substances? There is nothing common to the several categories and prior to them; nor can substance be an element in relations, nor vice versa. b4. (2) No element can be the same as the complex which includes it (nor, therefore, can any of the intelligibles such as being or unity be the common element, for these are predicable of concrete things). Therefore no element is either substance or relation; but there is nothing else it can be. 10. (B) But (1) all sensible bodies have a form (e.g. heat), a priva- tion (e.g. cold), and a matter. All things have by analogy the same elements, in that they all have form, privation, and matter; but these are different in detail for each different class of things. 22. Besides the internal causes or elements there is an external moving cause. There are three elements but four causes. The immediate moving cause, like the other immediate causes, is different for each different thing. go. In nature the moving cause is a similar individual, and in art it is the form (or its contrary), so that as the efficient cause = the formal, we may say either that there are three or that there are four causes. Besides these there is the first mover, which is common to all things. 36. (2) Things which can exist apart are substances; the causes of all things are the same because affections and movements cannot exist without substances. These causes are, perhaps, soul and body (or reason, desire, and body). 1071* 3. (3) In another sense all things have the same principles analogically—viz. potentiality and actuality—though these are different in different cases, and apply in different ways. 6. They apply in different ways; for (a) in some cases the same thing is at one time actual, at another potential. This distinction can be brought into line with the previously named causes; the A. 3+ 10707 21 — 4. 1070) 8 359 form (if it is separable), the concrete product, and the privation exist actually, the matter potentially. 11. (4) The distinction of potentiality and actuality takes a different shape where cause and effect have not the same matter (the form also in some cases being different). The causes of a man are not only (as in (a)) (i) his matter (fire and earth) and his peculiar form, but also (ii) his peculiar external cause (his father), and (iii) the sun and the ecliptic, which are neither the matter of the man nor his form nor the privation of his form nor identical in form with him, but the efficient causes, 17. Some causes can be stated universally, others cannot. The primary causes are the individual moving cause and the matter. The universals do not exzs¢. Man is the cause of man, but there is no uni- versal man, It is Achilles that exists, and his cause is Peleus. 24. If the causes of substances are causes of all things, yet things in different kinds have different causes, which are only analogically the same; and things in the same kind have causes the same in kind but numerically different. 29. The causes of things in different categories are the same or analogous (i.e. they are always matter, form, privation, mover), and the causes of substances are the causes of all things in the sense that with their destruction all things are destroyed. Further, the primum movens is the same for all things. But there are as many different causes as there are pairs of individual contraries, and the matters of different things are also different. 1070” 3. tdv mpds tt. The category of relation, which is that farthest removed from substance (N. 1088* 23), is here taken as typical of all the categories other than substance. Substance cannot be the elementary constituent of relations, since what consists of substances must itself be substance. Nor can a relation be the elementary con- stituent of a substance, since substance is prior to the other cate- gories and elements are prior to their compounds (I. 2); cf. Z. 1038? 23. er ovde ... cuvOeTwy is clearly parenthetical, for avrév |. 9 refers not to ray voytay nor to rév ovyOerwv but to ray croxeiwy, 1. 6.

The use of the partitive genitive as subject (tév voyrév = trav vonrav 71) is rare, but cf. ]. 22, A. 10214 21 n. 360 COMMENTARY. For a similar argument, showing that unity and being cannot be the genera of things, cf. B. 998? 22. Unity and being are called ‘intelligibles’ in distinction from ‘sen- sibles ’, because they are the most universal predicates, those farthest removed from sense- eee (cf. B. 998b-15-21). 10. dorrep héyoper, cf, @ 12, 76 Suvdpet TadTa a Kad” “airé, ‘that which directly, in virtue of itself (and not of a concomitant), potentially has these attributes’. mpotov distinguishes the proximate matter from the remote, and xa@ aro distinguishes the matter, which as such becomes, for example, cold, from ‘the white’, which becomes cold in virtue of the matter whose concomitant it is. 13-15. Aristotle distinguishes here three kinds of substance : 1) radra, i.e. matter, form, privation. 2) Ta €k TovTwy, i.e. substances which include (a) prime matter, (6) a certain form, e. g. heat, and which presuppose, as that which they had before they had the form, (c) the privation of the form, e.g. cold. 7a, ék ToUrwy are in fact the four elements, two of which Aristotle sup- poses to be characterized by heat and two by cold. (3) ei te ek Oepyod Kal Woypod ylyverat ev, olov capE 7 dorody, i.e. compounds of two oppositely qualified substances of class (2); in other words, binary compounds of the elements, or dpovopepy. Aristotle might have gone on to add the dvopovomepy and the living bodies which they make up (cf. # 19-20 n.). But since these are ultimately formed from the elements, they come under the general description et tu éx Peppod Kal yvxpod (Aristotle takes two of the rpérau evavtudoets as typical of all four) yiyverar ev. Aristotle’s doctrine has been’ explained above as not implying that privation must be actually present as well as form in every concrete substance, that every body which is hot must be partially cold; I have supposed him to mean that the form of each thing presupposes a previous privation. It is in this sense that matter, form, and priva- tion are arrived at as the three dpyai in Phys. i. 6, 7, and it is this sense that is relevant in 1069> 32-34. But it is rather surprising to find privation which is merely presupposed as previously existing, described as évurdpxov (I. 22); it is rather zpotmapyov. It may be, therefore, that Aristotle has in mind his doctrine that no actual instance of any of the four elements is pure. Fire, though in the main characterized by the «idos heat, contains some of the orépyots cold, and so in other cases (De Gen. ef Corr. 330» 21, Meteor. 359» 32). Then et tu ek Oeppod kal yuxpod yiyvera év will refer to époupeph compounded out of a substance that is in the main hot (e.g. actual fire) and one that is in the main cold (e.g. actual water). But on the whole the former interpretation of the passage seems preferable. 15-16. érepov... yevduevov. Alexander thinks these words should be placed after zpos 71, 1.9.

But where does he get the tavra which he supplies with 76 dvédoyov? It presupposes rabra in l. 16. The meaning is: ‘these things, then (sc. sensible substances), have the same elements and principles—sc. heat, cold, matter (though specifically different things have specifically different ele- ments); but we cannot say that all things (i.e. non-sensible substances and things in other categories, as well as sensible substances) have the same elements in this sense, but only by virtue of an analogy’; the elements of all are form, privation, matter, which are analogically the same wherever they occur. 22.

This list of four causes differs from Aristotle’s ordinary list by the subdivision of form into form and privation (cf. Z, 1032» 2, Phys. 193” 19), and by the omission of the final cause (due doubtless to its identity with the formal cause, H. 1044» 1).

Aristotle concentrates his atten- tion on living things, which are in the strict sense the only substances (Z. 1040) 5-10, H. 1043? 21-23), and indicates their material and formal causes, (1) capa and (2) yxy (subdivided, in the special case of man, into vois xat dpeéis). Alexander seems to have read 7 Opesis kal cGpa (the elements of irrational animals) alter 7 vots Kal dpegis Kat copa, and it is not unlikely that these words have dropped out by haplography.

If it be accepted that the causes of substances are the causes of all things, we shall perhaps find these universal causes to be soul and body, &c. This seems to be the meaning of the future éora. 3-17. Aristotle has in ch. 4 shown that matter, form, and privation are principles present in all things ; he now proceeds to show that potency and actuality are present in all things. Not only, however, are the potency and the actuality of one thing different from those of another (dAXa dAAous, |. 5), but potency and actuality belong to things in different ways (kal dddus, sc. trdpxe). Lines 6-17 explain what Aristotle means by d\dws. In some cases (év éviows ev, |. 6) the anti- thesis of potency and actuality means that the same thing exists first potentially and then actually. But the distinction of potentiality and actuality is present in another way (dddws dé, |. 11) where one thing acts on another. I take the two modes of presence of potency and actuality to answer to the two senses of potency distinguished in ©. The kind that is mentioned second here is dvvayis in the sense of ‘power’, that which is dpy peraBoAjs év dAAw 7) 7 GAAO (1046 11), 9 Kata Kivynow Aeyouevy (10484 25). Svvayus in this sense is the power in one thing to produce a change in another thing, and évépyeia is the change produced. The kind of dvvapis that is mentioned jirs¢ here is dvvapus in the sense of potentiality which is followed by the correspond- ing actuality in the same individual (16 abd été pev évepyeia eoruy bre Se duvdémer; contrast év dAAw, 1046 11). evepyeva and dvvapis in this sense are opposed ws otaia pds twa ‘Any; in the other sense they are opposed ds Kivnows mpos dvvapuv (1048? 8), 7. otov otvos, i.e. the same matter is at one time potentially wine and later actually wine. minter $€ kal Tadta eis TA eipypeva aita, sc. form, privation, matter Aes. 1O7T2 2-13 363 (1070 11). aire eis, ‘are divisible among’; for the phrase cf.

The traditional reading is open to three objections : (1 ye privation is being brought under the heading of actuality (as it must, since dvvdpe. comes only in the next clause), the clause should be introduced not by orépyats d€ but by Kai n orepnos. (2) The adducing of instances, darkness and disease, is peculiar, when form, concrete substance, and matter are left unillus- trated. (3) kdéyvov is an instance not of privation but of the union of ‘ts Ca with matter; the privation in question is véaos (cf. 1070? 28). Themistius apparently did not read orépyous dé, and Christ condemns the whole clause. But the manuscripts and Alexander agree in having it, and some mention of privation is wanted in order to account for dudw in 1.11. I have endeavoured to remove the first objection by reading re for d¢. re in this usage is rare in Aristotle, but cf. T. 1004 14, Z. VV. 115810, 13. For confusion of re and é¢ in manuscripts cf. for instance &. ZV. 1153 7. The second objection is not very important, and as regards the third, the confusion is one which Aristotle makes elsewhere. The adjective or participle in the neuter with the definite article may always stand for an attribute as well as for a concrete thing.

Privation is in fact a kind of form (PAys. 193 19). Bz. accepts Trendelenburg’s emendation adAus 8 (7) evepyeia Kal dvvaper Stabéper Gv.

Aristotle has said that the distinction of dvvayus and évépyea belongs to different things in different ways. He has stated one way in ll. 6-11; he now has to state the other. ‘The distinction in virtue of actuality and potency is present in another sense in things which’, &c. 12-13. Gv...Uhy, Gv... étepov. It is to be noted that the negative in 364 COMMENTARY the first clause is jn, in the second otc. The two clauses are there- fore not of the same nature, The first gives the essential nature of a certain class; the second states an additional fact about it; ovd« in fact shows that the second dy might be replaced by kat rovrwv. This pre- vents us from interpreting the two clausés-as meaning ‘things which have neither the same matter nor the same form’ (Alexander, Tren- -delenburg), or ‘things which have not the same form differ from things which have not the same matter’ (Bz.). The meaning of these clauses may be ascertained by observing what Aristotle goes on to say. He proceeds to distinguish the following causes of a man: (rt) the elements present in him, i.e. (a) fire and earth, the matter of which he is made, and (4) his peculiar form, (2) an external (proximate efficient) cause, his father, (3) an external (remote efficient) cause (the sun and the ecliptic) ‘which is neither (1 @) matter nor (14) form (nor privation, which is included in form above), nor (2) of the same species as the pro- duct’. Aristotle has shown above (1. 6) that the existence évepyeia. of a thing may be contrasted with its own previous existence duvdpe. He seems to be now saying (though the expression is very obscure) that dvvayus and évépyeva may be applied to different individual things, in the sense that one has the power to produce the other, i.e. dvvayus may be ap- . plied to the father and to the sun, évépyeia to the child which together they produce. Now both the father and the sun have a different matter from the child, and the sun has also a different form (ovre dpoedés, 1. 16). In view of the whole context, it seems that we must insert éviwy after the second dy, and translate as follows: ‘The distinction in respect of * potency and actuality is present in a different sense in the case of causes which have not the same matter as their effects, some of them indeed not having the same form either’. If we emphasize i8tov efdos (1. 14) we may say that even the father has a different (individual) form from the child, and then éviwy will be unnecessary. But the distinction between the relation of the father, and that of the sun, to the child, is emphasized, and is expressed by saying that the latter, unlike the former, is not 6oevdés with the child, so that 70 aird 20 we learn that Eudoxus, whom Aristotle follows, believed the sun to move not in the direction of the zodiacal belt but at an angle to it (xara Tov NeAogwpévoy ev TG wAATEL TOV Cwdiwr), but the obliquity referred to in the phrase Aoges xvkdos is that of the sun’s supposed path not to the zodiacal belt but to the equator. 17. 17a pev KaOddou ot eimety, ‘some causes may be stated univer- sally (sc. the causes of certain types of product), while others cannot (sc. those of particular products)’.

In using the word in the latter sense, Aristotle seems to have been reminded that it has also the former, and forth- with points this out. For the inconsistent use of zpéros in a single context cf. 1070? 27, 35, H. 10442 16, 18. Aristotle has just said (I. 34) that matter, form, privation, and moving cause are causes common to all things. He presently points out (Pr) that nevertheless different things have different matters. Probably therefore in doa 74 évaytia ... toAAaxads déyerau he is saying as in 1070 rg that different things have different forms and different privations, the difference of the moving cause being omitted for the moment though it has been pointed out in 1070? 27, 10712 28. 37- & pie ds yévn Néyerau pyre wohhaxds A€yerar. Aristotle indi- cates that he does not mean (1) contraries stated generically, e. g. white and black, which are the contraries involved in the whole genus of colour (1070 20), nor (2) contraries stated still more widely, even am- biguously, i.e. form and privation, which are the contraries involved in all sensible things alike (107017, 10712 31-34), He must mean, then, the individual form and the individual privation which are differ- ent for each individual thing, cf ll. 24-29. xal ére ai tAa then will mean not that different kinds of thing have different kinds of matter but that different individual things have different individual matters (cf. 4 28). There must be an eternal prime mover (ch. 6). 1071» 3. We must now speak of the unchangeable substance which is distinct from the two natural substances. ‘There must be an eternal substance, for if all substances are perishable, all things are perishable ; but motion or time cannot be generable or perishable. For there can- not be a before or after where there is not time, and time is either = motion or an attribute of it, so that motion must be continuous as time is, and if so it must be local motion, and in a circle. 12. That which is capable of moving things but does not actually do so will not account for motion. It is no use positing eternal sub- stances (e.g. Forms) if we do not give them a principle of change. Nor will it do if the principle is active but its essence is potentiality, 368 COMMENTARY for then motion will not be eternal. Therefore there must be a prin- ciple whose being is actuality. And these substances must be without matter, for they must be eternal. Therefore they are actuality. 22. There is a difficulty. Everything actual has potentiality but not everything that is potential has actuality, so that potentiality seems prior. But if this were so, all that is might not be (i.e. not yet have been). 26. The same difficulty is involved if the world be generated from night or from ‘all things together’. Matter cannot set itself in motion. Hence Leucippus and Plato say there is always motion—but do not specify it or its cause, or the cause of the motion’s being of the parti- cular kind it is. Nothing is moved at random; everything has its own proper motion, and its motion under compulsion, etc. Further, what kind of motion is first? Further, Plato could not tell what he means by describing the self-moving as a first principle, for the soul is later— coeval with the heavens. It is in a sense right to take potentiality as prior to actuality, but in another sense wrong. Anaxagoras testifies that actuality is first; so do Empedocles and Leucippus. 1072" 7. Therefore chaos or night did not last an indefinite time. The same things existed always either in a cycle or in some other way, for actuality is prior to potentiality. If there is cyc#c change, something must remain always active in the same way. If there is to be change at all, there must be something else whose activity varies. This must act in one way fer se, in another way by virtue of something else, and this something else must be that which acts always in the same way. This is the cause of uniformity, the other the cause of variety, both together the cause of uniform variety. Accordingly these are the movements that actually exist. What need, then, to seek other principles? 1071 3. Haar, cf. 1069% 30. 5. ai Te yap odciat mpdtat ty dvtwy. Aristotle has tried to prove this in 1069* 19-26. 6-10. GAN’ a8dvarov . . . mdfos.

Having used the eternity of movement to prove that there must be an eternal substance, Aristotle now draws from it a further y inference, that movement must be continuous, and from this he develops his whole astronomical theory. 10. 7 Kwyoeds Tt mdOos, cf.

The reason for the first dictum is that all other changes are between opposites, and that, since a thing cannot have opposite movements at the same time, it must rest at the opposites which form the limits of its move- ment. The reason for the second dictum is that all other changes of place are from opposite to opposite, and therefore (like non-local changes) cannot be continuous. - 13. obK €otau Kivyars, ‘there need not be (always) movement’, For this use of the future cf.

He argues that Plato makes soul coeval with the heavens, which are later than the original disordered movement of Z?m. 30, and that soul therefore cannot be the cause of this movement. Plato no doubt describes the soul as the principle of all movement and as eternal (Phaedr. 245 c—246 A, cf. Laws 894 c—896r).

But he at any rate describes it as made by God (34 c), while movement is found by God as something pre-existing (30 a). Some- thing must be allowed for the mythical and conjectural character of the Timaeus, but it does not seem that, as Zeller maintains in Pla/onische Studien, Plato had a perfectly consistent theory. 4. elpntar 8é ms. It is not very clear whether this refers to 1071» 22-26 or to @. 8.

H. 104243 and N, 1090%15 hardly form exceptions to this rule, since ZH and MN so clearly belong together respectively. The only genuine exception is K. 1064236, which seems to refer to A. 6, 7.

That passage does not definitely say in what sense potency and in what sense actuality is prior, but indicates obscurely that though each individual potency is prior to the corresponding actuality, there must be some actuality prior to all potency. 5.

It is not necessary with Schwegler to treat repiddw in 1. 10 as a gloss. 9-17. The general upshot of this passage is that the motion of the sphere of the fixed stars, which is parallel to the equator and therefore unchanging relatively to the earth, is the cause of the permanence in the history of the world, while the ecliptic motion of the sun, which brings it now nearer to and now farther from us, causes the alternation of birth and death.

The question then arises whether this dAdo is 76 rpGror, i.e. the sphere of the fixed stars, or something else’ (e. g. the sphere of - Saturn, says Alexander). But if we suppose something else to be the cause, then in turn the sphere of the~fixéd. stars causes both the sun’s motion and that of the supposed other. 15. atte. The editors since Brandis read atré and take the clause to mean that the sphere of the fixed stars will cause both its own motion and that of the supposed other. But in Aristotle’s view the motion of the sphere of the fixed stars is not self-caused ; it is caused by God. It is therefore better to read atv with Alexander and take it to refer to the sun. Since we cannot suppose the motions, parallel to the equator, (a) of the fixed stars and (4) of Saturn and the sun, to be unconnected, we should have to suppose the motion of the fixed stars to be the cause of the motion of Saturn and therefore, in- directly, of the motion of the sun. 15-16. otxodv BéAtioy 75 mp@tov .. . doattws.

The first heaven, then, must be eternal. Therefore there must also be something that moves it. Since that which is moved and moves is a middle term, there must be an extreme which moves without being moved, being eternal, substance, and actuality. 26. The object of desire and that of thought move thus. And in their primary forms they are identical. ‘The object of desire is the good or the apparent good. Now desire depends on thought rather than thought on desire. And thought is moved by its object, and the terms in the column of positives are fer se objects of thought, and A, 6. 1072%15-18 373 in this column substance, and among substance that which is simple and actual, comes first. But the good and desirable belongs . to the same column, and the first term in this column must be most good. by, A final cause in the sense of that whose good is aimed at cannot be found among unchangeable things, but a final cause in the sense of the good aimed at can; it moves by being loved, while all other things that move do so by being moved. 4. That which is moved is capable of being otherwise than as it is, so that if its activity is the primary (i.e. circular) motion, it has con- tingency in this sense—liability to spatial motion, though not to change of substance. The unmoved mover, on the other hand, has no con- tingency ; it is not subject even to the minimal change (motion in a circle), since this is what it originates. It exists therefore of neces- sity ; its being is therefore good, and it is in this way that it is a prin- ciple of motion. (The necessary in the sense of the non-contingent must be distinguished from the necessary in the sense of what is con- trary to natural impulse, and from the necessary in the sense of the sine qua non). 1g. On such a principle, then, the physical universe depends. It is a life which is always such as ours is at its best. Its very activity is pleasure—just as waking, perceiving, thinking are most pleasant because they are activities. 18, Thought which is independent of lower faculties must be thought of the best object. Now thought does think itself, because it shares in the intelligibility of its object. It becomes intelligible by contact with the intelligible, so that thought and object of thought are one, 22. Activity rather than potentiality is the divine thing in thought— actual contemplation the pleasantest and best of all things. If God is always in that good state which we sometimes reach, this must move our wonder ; and if his state is even better, this must move our wonder yet more. 26. God must also have life, for the actuality of thought is life and God is that actuality. God therefore has, or rather is, life continuous and eternal. 30. Those who, like the Pythagoreans and Speusippus, think the good is not a first principle because the developed living thing is better than the germ from which it comes, are wrong, for the germ comes from prior developed beings. 10732 3. It is clear, then, that there is a substance eternal, im- movable, separate from sensible things: We have shown that it 374 _ COMMENTARY must be without magnitude; it cannot have finite magnitude, for then it could not have the infinite power which it displays by causing motion eternally, and it cannot have infinite magnitude be- cause there is no such thing.

In general, according to Aristotle, there is no xwely without dvrixvel- aba (G. A. 76818); the action of an object of desire is the only exception to this rule.

The doctrine becomes very prominent in Theophrastus; cf. his fragment on Metaphysics, SOOO RS tOnIOAT Ineo, 312. 4,315. 05, 327.20, ne doctrine that the motions of the stars were due to the desire to imitate the perfection of the divine nature lasted long. There was much dis- cussion among theologians of the question whether the stars are conscious. St. Thomas ’(.S. 7. 1% qu. 70) sums up by saying that Origen and Jerome held them to be conscious, Basil and John of Damascus denied them consciousness, and Augustine was neutral. He himself concludes that corpora coelesha non sunt animalia eo modo quo plantae et animalia, sed aeqguivoce, i.e. the consciousness to which the motion of a star is due is not its own form but the in- telligence to which it is subject. Cf. Webb, Studies in the Hist. of Vat. Theol. 243 f. Kepler argued against the Ptolemaic theory on the ground, among others, that it implied that the planets know mathematics; but he himself thought that the sun apprehends the harmonies of number which regulate the planetary orbits. The colon after vonrov gives a better sense than Bekker’s full stop after de or Bz.’s comma after dpexrov (with xwovpevov for kwovpeva). For ode referring backwards cf. > 26, Kiihner i, p. 646. Aristotle is not here expressing the view that dpegis and voids are independent sources of acton or local movement, the view stated provisionally in De An. 433413 and set aside in 433%21 in favour of the view that dpegis is the only direct principle of action. Line 30 here indicates that his meaning with regard to 76 voyroy is that it stimulates ¢hought without being itself stimulated. 27-1. The argument for the identity of the zpa@rov dpexrov and the mpatov vontov is as follows: The actual object of desire is either the apparent or the real xaddv, so that the primary object of desire is evidently the kaAov. (Aristotle next observes that the desire of it presupposes the recognition of it as xadov. This remark makes the transition from desire to thought but is not meant to prove the identity of their primary objects; the proof of that comes in what follows.) Now the proper object of vots is the assemblage of positive enti- ties () érépa cvororxia), negatives being known only as the opposites of positive entities (cf. ®. 104611). Substances are the first members of this assemblage, prior to positive gualztes, and simple immaterial substance is prior to substance which includes matter as well as form. Hence immaterial substance is the zparov vonrov. But 76 xadov, which was shown to be the zpérov épexrov, is something positive and therefore also belongs to the positive assemblage. This Aris- totle takes to imply that the positive assemblage is the assemblage of xaAa. And if so, immaterial substance, which is the first member of the assemblage, and therefore contains in the highest degree the character of all members of the assemblage (a. 99324), must be the dpucrov Or mp@rov dpexrov, while it has already been shown to be the zpérov vonrov. 27, toUTwy Ta mp@ta 7a adté.

Aristotle establishes that the rpdrov dpextov is the kaddv by considering the species of dpegis. There are in all three species—érufupiia, Ovpds, Bovdnois(De An, 414>2, M.A. 700b 22); but Aristotle has also a tendency to divide dpegs simply into that which is rational (GovAyo.s) and that which is against reason (ériOupia) (De An. 433% 22—26), and these two he is satisfied to mention here. ZI. 4 érépa cuoroyia, ch A. 986423n., K. 1066815, Phys. 2o1b25. Not only is cvorouxia used of the Pythagorean list of opposites, but Aristotle himself recognizes a positive ovorouxia or column including such terms as being, unity, substance, and a nega- tive cvorouxéa including not-being, plurality, not-substance (I. 1004? 27, De Gen. e¢ Corr. 319215, De Sensu 447° 30, 448°16, P. A. 670» 21). In each case the negative is known not fer se but as the negation of the positive term. 32-34. Alexander thinks this note on the difference between ‘ one’ and ‘simple’ is meant to meet the objection that if the primary un- moveable substance is simple it must be one, whereas Aristotle be- lieves in a plurality of such substances (the beings that move the spheres, 1074°15). Rather, Aristotle seems to be intent on explaining what he means by ‘simple’, without any further motive. 33. Td pev yap ev pérpov onpaiver, cf.

The first term in a series is the best term, if this description of it is appropriate (as it is in this case, since TO kaAédv is in the series); or if it is not, then the first term may be said to be ‘analogous to the best’. Thus circular movement may by analogy be called the best movement, to take Alexander’s example. bi-g. 81. 8 gor... . odk 2omr, It might be thought (cf. B. 996% 22, K. 1059735) that the teleological view implied in calling immaterial substance (God) the zp&rov épexrév is incompatible with the unchang- ing, eternal nature of immaterial substance (#25). Aristotle therefore proceeds to point out that 7d ob évexa, the object of purposive action, may in one sense of these words be found in the realm of eternal, unchangeable entities. J.e., when we speak of the ov évexa of a thing we may mean (r) that the thing is good rw, for some conscious being, or (2) that it is good twds (évexa), for the sake of some end. The latter exists in the sphere of unchangeables (éor1, 1. 3 = éorw €v rots axwytows), While the former does not, since the attainment of good involves change in that which attains it. Christ’s addition of kai twos (rwds AP) after évexa (I. 2) is amply justified by De An. 4152 76 8 of vera dirrdv, 7d pev ob 70 8 @ (cf. ib. 20, Phys. 194235). G.

The manuscript reading xvoupeve, ‘and by something moved it moves all other things’, is hardly possible Greek, and xwovpevov, ‘while the other (the apres ovpavds) being moved moves all other things’, is little better. x:voveva gives the right sense, ‘it moves as being loved (sc. without itself being moved), while all other things move by being moved’, i.e. simply transmit the motion impressed on them. a and w are often confused in manuscripts (Bast 183, &c.). 5. Alexander’s commentary here says éév eorw % évéepyeia Tod ovpaved 7 mpatn dopa, which leaves it doubtful what he read, except that there is no trace of the xaé which the manuscripts have be- fore evépyew. I have adopted a reading which may have been that of Alexander, and which gives better sense than those of the manuscripts and, I think, than those of previous editors (ei pope 7 mparn evepyetd. eat, 7 KuvelTat Bz., ei 7) Popa 7 mpdry evepyea eorw 0 Kwvetrau Christ). Taking 7 «we?ra: with what follows, and reading tavTn ye, Which the sense requires, we get the following meaning for the sentence. Aristotle has said, with the heavenly spheres in mind, ‘the other things move only by being moved. Now if a thing is moved, it is capable of being otherwise than as it is’, He now continues ‘so that if its actual mode of existence is the primary kind of local movement (sc. circular movement), then in so far as it is subject to change, in this respect it is capable of being otherwise, i.e. in respect of place even if not in respect of substance’, i.e. even if it is not subject to generation or destruction. The words ite 14-24. Having shown (® 25) that there is a prime mover which is substance and is pure activity or actuality, Aristotle assumes that it must be such as the highest actuality or activity that we know, viz. vonots, immediate or intuitive knowledge. Further (1. 18) this vénous, being xa atryv, i.e. unconnected with any lower function such as sense or imagination, must be vonors of what is in itself the best, and that which is in the fullest sense voyois must be vonors of that which is in the fullest sense best, i.e. of the rp&rov dpexrdv (#27), the prime — mover itself. Now yvots does know itself by sharing in the know- ability of its object ; for when it touches and knows it becomes know- able, so that it and its object are one. It is when it actually ‘ touches’ its object that this happens, for, while vods is that which is capable of receiving the knowable, i.e. essence, it is actual only when it actually possesses the object, so that actuality rather than potentiality is the divine thing in vods—actual contemplation is the pleasantest and best of all things. 14-15.

Or duaywyy may be used in the more pregnant sense in which it implies both noble activity and pleasure A. 7. 1072 8-20 379 (Pol. 133917). The primum movens is described not as having but as being a life, because it is pure évepyeua. 15. ola 4 dpiory pixpdv xpdvoy Hiv, i.e. when we are engaged in philosophic thought, cf.

In order to find the connexion between these two sentences, it seems necessary to suppose that when Aristotle says that the divine vonors ) Ka? avrnv is of 70 Kal? attd dpucrov he means the conclusion to be drawn ‘and therefore of the divine vois itself’, which has been exhibited as the zprov dpexréy (* 27), in other words as the dpiorov (#35). He then goes on to show ow vods knows itself; he shows that it is only in the activity of véyots that vods becomes its object and so becomes knowable, and the distinction thus drawn between activity and potentiality leads him to the statement that the activity is better than the potentiality, that the actual exercise of Gewpia is the pleasantest and best thing in the world. 18. 4... vdnots 7 kad adtyy, thinking in itself as distinguished from the human thinking which depends on sense and imagination.

(2) He interprets the inseparability of actual hearing from actual sound, of actual seeing from actual colour (425> 30), as implying that these are but two names for the same thing viewed from different standpoints.

Bz. /ndex 305» 46. Bz.’s interpretation of éywv, guoniam ipse in se continet aiqgue tpse est 7d vonrov, is hard to get out of the Greek and seems less probable, the point being the contrast of actual with potential knowledge, without special reference at this stage of the argument to the identity of knowledge and its object. Krische’s interpretation of éywv as = ‘having the potentiality of thought’ is rightly rejected by Bz.; the supposed parallels in Phys. 255*34, De An. 412% 26, 417 5, are not convincing. Dr. Jackson (Proc. Camb. Phil, Soc. cix-cxiv. 11 f.) translates évepye? 8& exwv ‘and it energizes continually’, comparing such phrases as ri xumrdGes éxwv; and éywv pdAvapeis. This idiom seems, however, to be some- what contemptuous and therefore out of place here ; cf. the instances quoted in L. and S. Mr, A. J.

He interprets the clause as meaning ‘so that the divine thing in vois (i.e. its self-knowledge) belongs rather to the rpéros vois’ (than to the actual vods of mankind). 7 Qewpia will then mean not A. 7. 1072> 21-32 381 ‘contemplation in general but ‘God’s contemplation’. But it is difficult to supply 76 éavrév voety as the meaning of 6 doxel 6 vods Oetov éyew.

Then 7 Oewpia = ‘ God’s contemplation’. (2) ‘so that this (actuality) rather than that (potentiality) is what reason is thought to have of the divine’.

This point, which was noted by Gruppe, affords a connexion between the Pythagoreans and Speu- sippus, who wrote a book on the Pythagoreans and was specially in- terested in the perfection of the highest number, ten (Diels i.’ 303. 20).

This view can, however, hardly be right. At least the reference to Callippus’ theory (1073 32-38), and probably the whole discussion of the concentric spheres and their movers (1073 14—1074? 14), belongs to the latest period of Aristotle’s life. Cf. n. at beginning of ch. 8. 5, déSektar, Bz. thinks the reference is to Phys. 26717, but Aristotle’s mode of reference to a separate book is almost invariably fuller than this (cf. 10724 n.), and, since the first 67. clause (3-5) and the third (11, 12) clearly refer to the results of the immediately pre- ceding argument, it is pretty certain that this one does so too, Aris- totle has not, strictly speaking, shown that the przmum movens is without extension, but he has proved something from which it readily follows (cf.

Our predecessors have not been precise about this. The ideal theory does not discuss it. It identifies Ideas with numbers, but sometimes treats them as unlimited, sometimes (but without sufficient proof) as limited by the number ro. 22. We can use previous premises and distinctions. The first principle is an unmoved mover which causes one primary eternal motion. Since every eternal motion requires an eternal cause, and there are other eternal motions (viz. those of the planets) besides that of the first heaven, each of these requires an eternal substance as mover. It must be substance since the moved is a substance, mover is prior to moved, and only substance can be prior to substance. There must be as many such substances as there are motions. bg. Their number must be determined by astronomy—the most akin to philosophy of the mathematical sciences—since it alone of these sciences deals with concrete substance. It is obvious that the A. 7. 1072” 35~-10737 12 383 motions are more numerous than the moved bodies. We proceed to give a sketch of the accounts of various mathematicians. 17. Eudoxus assigned three spheres to the sun and three to the moon, (1) a sphere having the daily rotation of the fixed stars, (2) a sphere having a yearly motion along the zodiac, (3) a sphere having a motion across the zodiac (stretching across a greater breadth of it in the case of the moon). He assigned to the planets (1) and (2) and (3’) a sphere whose poles are in the ecliptic (the poles being the same for Venus and Mercury), (4’) a sphere moved obliquely to (3’). Total 26. 32. Callippus kept the same order, and the same number of spheres for Jupiter and Saturn, but added two each for the sun and moon, and one for each of the other planets. Total 33. 38. We must suppose, for each of these bodies except the moon, counteracting spheres, one less in number than the positive spheres, to neutralize their action on the outer sphere of the next system (counting inwards). Total 55. Or if we do not add the said motions to sun and moon, we get Total 47. 107414. This is also the number of the unmoved movers (prob- ably—we do not claim certainty). If there can be no motion which does not contribute to the motion of a star, and every substance which is impassive and in itself has attained the best is an end, this must be the total number of the unmoved substances. For if there are others, they must cause motion as ends of motion. But there cannot be other motions than those named. This is made probable by study of the moved bodies. For no motion is for its own sake or for the sake of another motion, but for the sake ofthe stars (otherwise there would be an infinite regress). (31. The physical universe is one. For if there were many, each would have a different individual cause, and therefore the causes would have to have matter; for, as far as form goes, it is common to many individuals. But the prime essence has not matter; for it is actuality. Therefore the prime mover, and therefore also the universe which it moyes, is one in number as well as in definition.) 38. There is an old tradition that the stars are gods. The rest of the tradition has been added to lend sanction to the laws and on utilitarian grounds—i.e. the anthropomorphic or zoomorphic parts of the mytho- 384 COMMENTARY logy. But the original part, that the prime substances are gods, is in- spired, It is a relic of that completest possible development of the arts and sciences, which must have been often achieved and often lost. Jaeger has argued forcibly (Aris¢, 366-392) that while most of Bk. A is early, this chapter must have been written quite late in Aristotle’s life. The theory of Callippus referred to in 1073 32-38 as a thing of the past (ériOero, 1. 33) can hardly be earlier than 330-325. The chapter interrupts the discussion of the first mover in chs. 7, 9. It is written in a full and careful manner, very different from the jottings which form the rest of the book. The doctrine of the ‘intelligences’ which move the spheres is hardly consistent with the doctrine of the single first mover in ch. 7 (cf. 1072» 13 f.), and is late—still absent in the De Motu Animahum and only tentative in Physics viii (258 10-12, 259° 3-15). 1074 31-38 seems to be a fragment belonging to the earlier and more monistic period of Aristotle’s thought. 1073* 16.

These moving causes of the several planetary motions are, says Alexander (706. 32), not identical with the souls of the planets which Aristotle’s language in De Caelo 292% 20 ff. implies. It is in virtue of their souls that the planets are able to move at all, but it is in virtue of the desire of their moving causes for God that they move eternally and uniformly. The souls of the planets, we may add, are immanent in them, but the moving causes transcend them as God transcends the arAavijs odaipa. But it must be remembered that Aristotle nowhere speaks explicitly of souls of the planets, though he ascribes to the planets action and life (De Caelo 292% 20).

The views of Eudoxus, Callippus, and Aristotle about the planetary system are discussed more fully by Simplicius (Comm, A. 8. 1073216 — 107317 385 in De Caelo 488. 18-24, 493. 4—506. 18), Eudoxus’ theory was first satisfactorily interpreted by Schiaparelli in Puddlicaziont del R. Osservatorio di Brera in Milano, 1875). Excellent accounts of the theory are given in Dreyer, Plane/ary Systems, 84-114, and in Heath, Arzstarchus of Samos, 190-224. The importance of the theory in the history of astronomy is well indicated in the following remarks by Dreyer(p. 107). ‘Scientific astronomy may really be said to date from Eudoxus and Kalippus, as we here for the first time meet that mutual influence of theory and observation on each other which characterizes the development of astronomy from century to century. Eudoxus is the first to go beyond mere philosophical reasoning about the construction of the universe ; he is the first to attempt systemati- cally to account for the planetary motions. When he has done this the next questionis how far this theory satisfies the observed phenomena, and Kalippus at once supplies the observational facts required to test the theory and modifies the latter until the theoretical and observed motions agree within the limit of accuracy attainable at the time. Philosophical speculation unsupported by steadily pursued observations is from henceforth abandoned ; the science of astronomy has started on its career.’ Simplicius derives his account largely from Sosigenes the Peripa- tetic (second century a.p., the teacher of Alexander Aphrodisiensis), who in turn borrowed from Eudemus’ treatment of the subject in his History of Astronomy. Simplicius quotes from Sosigenes the state- ment that Aristotle discussed in his Physzcal Problems objections to the hypotheses of astronomers (sc, Eudoxus and Callippus) arising from the fact that even the sizes of the planets do not appear always the same. Simplicius further refers to 1073 10-13 and 1074 14-17 as indicating dissatisfaction with the theory of concentric spheres, But Aristotle’s doubts are clearly only on points of detail. ‘The theory of concentric spheres was pursued for some time after Aristotle. Schiaparelli conjectures that even Archimedes still held to it. Autolycus, the author of the treatises Ox the moving sphere and On risings and settings, who lived till the end of the fourth or the begin- ning of the third century B.c., is said to have been the first to try, presumably by some modification of the theory, to meet the difficulties which had been seen from the first and were doubtless pointed out with greater insistence as time went on. What was ultimately fatal to it was of course the impossibility of reconciling the assumption of the invariability of the distance of each planet with the observed differences in the brightness, especially of Mars and Venus, at different times, and the apparent difference in the relative sizes of the sun and moon’ (Heath, 221). 17-32. On the general nature of Eudoxus’ theory I cannot do better than quote Heath (p. 195). ‘Eudoxus adopted the view which prevailed from the earliest times to the time of Kepler, that circular motion was sufficient to account for the movements of all the heavenly bodies. With Eudoxus this circular motion took the form of the 2573-2 ; Cc 386 COMMENTARY revolution of different spheres, each of which moves about a diameter as axis. All the spheres were concentric, the common centre being the centre of the earth; hence the name of ‘“ homocentric spheres” used in later times to describe the system. The spheres were of different sizes, one inside the other. Each planet was fixed at.a point in the equator of the sphere which carried it, the sphere _revolving at uniform speed about the diameter joining the correspond- ing poles; that is, the planet revolved uniformly in a great circle of the sphere perpendicular to the axis of rotation. But one such circular motion was not enough ; in order to explain the changes in the speed of the planets’ motion, their stations and retrogradations, as well as their deviations in latitude, Eudoxus had to assume a number of such circular motions working on each planet, and producing by their com- bination that single apparently irregular motion which can be deduced from mere observation. He accordingly held that the poles of the sphere which carries the planet are not fixed, but themselves move on a greater sphere concentric with the carrying sphere and moving about two different poles with a speed of its own. As even this was not sufficient to explain the phenomena, Eudoxus placed the poles of the second sphere on a third, which again was concentric with and larger than the first and moved about separate poles of its own, and with a speed peculiar to itself. For the planets yet a fourth sphere was required similarly related to the three others; for the sun and moon he found that, by a suitable choice of the positions of the poles and of speeds of rotation, he could make three spheres suffice. In the accounts of Aristotle the spheres are described in the reverse order, the sphere carrying the planet being the last. The spheres which move each planet Eudoxus made quite separate from those which move the others. One sphere sufficed of course to produce the daily rotation of the heavens. ‘Thus, with three spheres for the sun, three for the moon, four for each of the planets and one for the daily rotation, there were twenty-seven spheres in all. It does not appear that Eudoxus specu- lated upon the causes of these rotational motions or the way in which they were transmitted from one sphere to another; nor did he inquire about the material of which they were made, their sizes and mutual distances. In the matter of distances the only indication of his views is contained in Archimedes’ remark that he supposed the diameter of the sun to be nine times that of the moon, from which we may no doubt infer that he made their distances from the earth to be in the same ratio g: 1. It would appear that he did not give his spheres any sub- stance or mechanical connexion; the whole system was a purely geometrical hypothesis, or a set of theoretical constructions calculated to represent the apparent paths of the planets and enable them to be computed.’ Eudoxus of (Cnidus ¢. 408-355 B.c.), one of the greatest mathe- maticians of antiquity, was the discoverer of the theory of proportion expounded in the fifth book of Euclid’s Hvements and of ‘the mensura- tion of areas and volumes by the method of exhaustion, and the first A. 8. 1073" 18-19 387 proposer of the Julian cycle. He was a pupil of Archytas and of Plato, who is said to have suggested to him for solution the problem of planetary motion (Simpl. 488. 21). He explained his system in a book On Velocities, which like all his other works is lost. Aristotle had his knowledge of the system from Polemarchus, an acquaintance of Eudoxus. 18. thy pev mpdtyy Thy Tv dmdavdv dotpwv eivar, i.e. the first (outermost) sphere of the sun (and similarly the first sphere of the moon) was meant to explain its diurnal motion from east (through south) to west. Aristotle means not that the first sphere of the sun or of the moon was the sphere of the fixed stars, but that it had the same motion. 19. Thy Sé Seutépay Kata Tov 81d péowy Tav Lwdiwv (KvKAor), i.e. the second sphere moved in the circle which bisects the signs of the zodiac longitudinally, in other words the ecliptic, the Aogds kVKos Of 107.1% 16 (which is different from the AeAofwpévos of 107320). Simplicius supposes that this second sphere produced, in the case of the moon, the revolution from west to east in a lunar month, while the third sphere produced the retrograde movement of the nodes (or points of highest latitude) in about eighteen years. But it has been pointed out that if these were the relative speeds of the two spheres ‘the moon ‘would have been found for nine years north, and then for nine years south, of the ecliptic .. . We must assume that the third sphere pro- duces the monthly revolution of the moon from west to east... round a circle inclined to the ecliptic at an angle equal to the greatest latitude of the moon, and then that this oblique circle is carried round by the second sphere in a retrograde sense along the ecliptic in a period of 223 lunations’ (Heath, 197). Simplicius’ mistake goes back to Aristotle, since ‘ Aristotle clearly implies that the second sphere cor- responds to the movement in longitude for all the seven bodies including the sun and moon, whereas in fact it only does so in the case of the five planets’ (ib.). With regard to the sw, Simplicius says that, as in the case of the moon, the third or innermost sphere moves much more slowly than the second, but (unlike the third sphere of the moon) in the direct order of the signs (493. 15-17, 494. 6, 7, 9-11). ‘Simplicius makes the same mistake as regards the speeds of the second and third spheres as he made in the case of the moon. If it were the third sphere which moved very slowly, the sun would for ages remain in a north or a south latitude and in the course of a year would describe, not a great circle, but (almost) a small circle parallel to the ecliptic. The slow motion must therefore belong to the second sphere, the equator of which revolves in the ecliptic, while the revolution of the third sphere must take place in about a year..., the plane of its equator being inclined, at the small angle mentioned, to the plane of the ecliptic . . . The slightly inclined great circle of the third sphere which the sun appears to describe is thus carried round bodily in the . Cic? op an COMMENTARY revolution of the second sphere about the axis of the ecliptic, the nodes on the ecliptic thus moving slowly forward, in the direct order of the signs; and lastly both the second and third spheres are carried round by the revolution of the first sphere following the daily rota- tion’ (Heath, 198). The sun’s apparent motion is, asa matter of fact, along the ecliptic, so that two circles would have been enough to explain its motion. How did Eudoxus come to suppose that it moved at a small angle to the ecliptic? Simplicius says this was inferred from the sup- posed observation that the sun, at the winter and summer solstices, does not always rise at the same point of the horizon (493. 11-17, cf. Al. 703. 27). Schiaparelli thinks that the early astronomers inferred a movement of the sun in latitude from the observed motion of the moon and the planets in latitude. This belief was opposed by Hipparchus, but lasted long; Pliny puts the inclination at one degree, Theon at half a degree. Schiaparelli (p. 17) shows that the theory was not started to explain the precession of the equinoxes, ‘ which was discovered by Hipparchus, but was unknown to Eudoxus, Pliny, and Theon’ (Heath, 200). ‘ Eudoxus supposed the annual motion of the sun to be perfectly uniform; “he must therefore have deliberately ignored the discovery, made by Meton and Euctemon sixty or seventy years before, that the sun does not take the same time to describe the four quadrants of its orbit between the equinoctial and solstitial points ’ (ib.). 23. kal tovTwy Sé Thy péev mpetyv Kal Seutépav Thy atThy etvar éxelvats, i.e. the planets shared not only the diurnal motion of the sun and the moon, but also their motion along the ecliptic. ‘The periods of this motion, ‘in the case of the superior planets, are respectively equal to the sidereal periods of revolution, and in the case of Mercury and Venus (on a geocentric system) one year. As the revolution of the second sphere was taken to be uniform, we see that Eudoxus had no idea of the zodiacal anomaly of the planets, namely that which depends on the eccentricity of their paths, and which later astronomers sought to account for by the hypothesis of eccentric circles; for Eudoxus the points on the ecliptic where successive oppositions or conjunctions took place were always at the same distances, and the arcs of retro- gradation were constant for each planet and equal at all parts of the ecliptic. Nor with him were the orbits of the planets inclined at all to the ecliptic; their motion in latitude was believed by Eudoxus to depend exclusively on their elongation from the sun and not on their longitude’ (Heath, 200-201). 26. éwd tatty, nearer than this to the centre of the universe, the earth. 27. adwacdy, sc.

It is not clear in which of the two possible directions this sphere rotated, but Schiaparelli shows that this does not matter for the theory. 29. THs dé TeTdpTyS Thy hopdv Kata Tov (KUKAoV Tov) Neho§wpevov mpds Tov pecov TavTyS (K’KAov). The fourth sphere moved in a circle inclined to the equator of the third. The inclination ‘was constant for each planet but different for the different planets. And the rota- tion of the fourth sphere about its axis took place in the same time as the rotation of the third about its axis but in the opposite sense. On the equator of the fourth sphere the planet was fixed, the planet thus having four motions, the daily rotation, the circuit in the zodiac, and two other rotations taking place in the synodic period’ (Heath, 201). The combined effect of the rotation of the third and fourth spheres is thus described by Simplicius (496. 23—497. 6): ‘ The third sphere, which has its poles on the great circle of the second sphere passing through the middle of the signs of the zodiac, and which turns from south to north and from north to south, will carry round with it the fourth sphere which also has the planet attached to it, and will more- over be the cause of the planet’s movement in latitude. But not the third sphere only ; for, so far as it was on the third sphere (by itself), the planet would actually have arrived at the poles of the zodiac circle and would have come near to the poles of the universe ; but, as things are, the fourth sphere, which turns about the poles of the inclined circle carrying the planet and rotates in the opposite sense to the third, i.e. from east to west, but in the same period, will prevent any considerable divergence (on the part of the planet) from the zodiac circle, and will cause the planet to describe about this same zodiac circle the curve called by Eudoxus the Azppopede, so that the breadth of this curve will be the (maximum) amount of the apparent deviation of the planet in latitude, a view for which Eudoxus has been attacked’ (Heath, 201-202). Schiaparelli has shown how it was possible for Eudoxus, with the geometrical knowledge at his command, to arrive at the Azppopede (horse-fetter) or spherical lemniscate (a sort of figure of eight) as the path of a planet so far as it is determined by the third and the fourth of its spheres. But in virtue of the second gopd the lemniscate itself moves along the ecliptic. The actual motion of the planet among the fixed stars is due to the combination of these two motions. For half the synodic period the motion of the planet along the lemniscate accelerates its motion along the ecliptic, and for half of the period it retards it. When the backward motion along the lemniscate is greater than the forward motion of the lemniscate the planet retrogrades, and when the two motions are equal it is stationary. The theory is evidently meant to explain the retro- 390 COMMENTARY gradations and the stations of the planets; while the breadth of the lemniscate defines their motions in latitude. Except in the case of Mars, Eudoxus (according to the figures given by Simplicius 495. 26-29, 496. 6-9) assigned fairly accurately both the synodic and the zodiacal or sidereal periods, which implies the use of careful observa- tions whether Egyptian or Babylonian. -We~do not know the angles of inclination of the axis ef the fourth to that of the third sphere which he assigned for the several planets, but taking the most probable angles Schiaparelli has shown that ‘for Jupiter and Saturn, and to some extent for Mercury also, the system was capable of giving on the whole a satisfactory explanation of their motion in longitude, their stationary points, and their retrograde motions; for Venus it was unsatisfactory, and it failed altogether in the case of Mars. The limits of motion in latitude represented by the various /zppopedes were in tolerable agreement with observed facts, although the periods of the deviations and their places in the cycle were quite wrong’ (Heath, 211). 30. elvar Sé THs TpiTHs ohalpas Tos médous TOV pev GANwv idious, tos S€é THs “Appoditys kal Tod ‘Eppod Tods adtovs. ‘As regards Mercury and Venus, inasmuch as their mean positions coincide with the mean position of the sun, Eudoxus must have assumed that the centre of the hippopede always coincides with the sun. ‘This centre being on the ecliptic and at a distance of go° from each of the poles of rotation of the third sphere, the poles of the third sphere of Mercury and the poles of the third sphere of Venus coincide’ (Heath, 210). 31-35. These names for the planets are apparently late. They occur first in Pl]. Epznoms 9878 f., where they are mentioned as compara- tively new (the name Hermes occurs in Z?m.'38D). Plato ascribes the names to a Syrian origin, and they were in fact derived from Babylonia.

Callippus of Cyzicus (fl. 330 B.c.) studied with Polemarchus, a friend of Eudoxus, and is said to have stayed at Athens with Aristotle, ‘correcting and completing, with Aristotle’s help, the discoveries of Eudoxus’ (Simpl. 493. 5-8). 33-34. tod . . . ta, which is omitted by E, is doubtless a gloss like those (also beginning with rodr’ éo7v) which A has in A. 984? 11, T. r009% 26.

Callippus had evidently ‘not perceived the elliptic inequality in the motion of either planet, though it can reach the value of five or six degrees ’ (Dreyer, 104). Norcan he have perceived their deviations in latitude. 35- TOS FrLw kal TH ceAyvy S00 Weto Ett mpocOereas civar ohaipas, A. 8. 1073 30-38 301 TG Horvdpeva, ei pedder Tus dmoddcew. Simplicius tells us that ‘accord- ing to Eudemus, Callippus asserted that, assuming the periods between the solstices and equinoxes to differ to the extent that Euctemon and Meton held that they did, the three spheres in each case (i.e. for the sun and moon) are not sufficient to save the phenomena, in view of the irregularity which is observed in their motions’ (Heath, 218). With regard to the sun, Euctemon, about 430 B.c., ‘had made the length of the seasons (beginning with the vernal equinox) 93, 90, 90, and g2 days respectively . . . Callippus, about 330 B.c., made the correspond- ing lengths 94, 92, 89, 90 days respectively’ (ib. 215)—a much more accurate estimate. Callippus accounted for the inequality by supposing, besides the three spheres attributed by Eudoxus to the sun, a fourth with its poles on the third, and a fifth with the sun on its equator, its poles on the fourth sphere, and its axis slightly inclined to the axis of the fourth; the fifth sphere rotating at the same speed as the fourth and in the opposite direction. Thus Callippus explains the sun’s unequal motion in longitude as Eudoxus explained the synodic inequalities of the planets, by a Azppopede; and ‘this representation of the motion of the sun is almost as accurate as that obtained later by means of the eccentric circle and the epicycle’ (id. 216). Sim- plicius implies that Callippus assigned two new spheres to the moon for the same reason; i.e. he ‘was aware of the inequality in the motion of the moon in longitude’ (ib.)—a discovery which would naturally have resulted from comparing the times of lunar eclipses with the corresponding longitudes of the moon. Here again a Azppopede would explain all the facts except evection. 37- Tots S€ Norrois TOv ThayyTwv ExdoTw piav. Simplicius tells us that ‘the reason why Callippus added the one sphere which he added in the case of each of the three planets Ares, Aphrodite,and Hermes was shortly and clearly stated by Eudemus’ (497. 17-24); but he does not tell us what it was. We have already seen that Eudoxus’ system fails signally with Mars. ‘The fifth sphere was probably meant to account for the retrogradations of Mars, without assuming as Eudoxus did a synodic period other than the true one (260 instead of 780 days). Schiaparelli has been able to show how three concentric spheres instead of Eudoxus’ latter two will give the planet at certain points ‘a much greater direct and retrograde velocity with the same motion in latitude’ (Heath, 215) and thus ‘preserve the appearances’ much better. In‘ the case of Venus and Mercury also, Callippus’ fifth sphere enabled him to approach nearer to the facts than Eudoxus had done. 38. Eudoxus and Callippus had offered a purely geometrical account of the planetary system; Aristotle aimsat a mechanical account, and can- not isolate the system of one planet from that of the next. He therefore supposes for each ‘ planet’ except the moon certain spheres which ‘ roll back’ the outer sphere of the planet just nearer to the earth than the given planet, i.e. which prevent the influence of the forward-moving or 392 COMMENTARY deferent spheres of one planet from affecting the next. The mode of operation of the ‘ backward-rolling ’ spheres is explained clearly by Heath. ‘Suppose A, B, C, D to be the four spheres postulated for Saturn, A being the outermost and D the innermost on which the planet is fixed. If inside the sphere D we place a first reacting sphere D’ which turns about the poles of D with~equal speed, but in the opposite sense, to D, the rotations-of D and D’ will mutually cancel each other and any point of D’ will move as though it was rigidly con- nected with the sphere C. Again, if we place inside the sphere D’ a second reagent sphere C’ rotating about the same poles with C and with equal speed, but in the opposite sense, the rotations of C and C’ cancel each other, and any point of C’ will move as if it were rigidly connected with the sphere B, Lastly, if inside C’ a third reagent sphere B’ is introduced which rotates about the same poles with B and at the same speed but in the opposite sense, the rotations of B and B’ will cancel each other and any point of B’ will move as if it were rigidly con- nected with the sphere A. But, as A is the outermost sphere for Saturn, A is the motion of the sphere of the fixed stars; hence B’ will move in the same way as the sphere of the fixed stars; and consequently Jupiter's spheres can move inside B’ as if the spheres of Saturn did not exist and as if B’ itself were the sphere of the fixed stars’ (p. 218). In this system, however, both the innermost reacting sphere of a planet and the next sphere to it, the outermost deferent sphere of the next planet, are moving with the same motion, viz. that of the fixed stars, so that the second of these two spheres is superfluous.

For, according to Aristotle, these phenomena are the effects of exhalations rising to the top of the sublunary sphere and there coming into contact with another warm and dry substance which, being the last layer of the sublunary sphere and in contact with the revolution of the outer heavenly sphere, is carried round with it; the rising exhalations are kindled by meeting and being caught in the other substance and are carried round with it. Hence there must be a sphere below the moon which has the same revolu- tion as that of the sphere of the fixed stars, in order that comets, &c., may be produced and move as they are said to do. The four inner spheres producing the moon’s own motion should therefore be neutra- lized as usual by the same number of reacting spheres’ (Heath, 219). 0 ee ee ee Ns ee Cee eit nee ees eae A. 8. 1074 5-14 393 10-12, 6 8}... wévte.

It isnot evident how Aristotle reduces the number from 55 to 47. If Callippus’ extra spheres for the sun and the moon, and the corresponding reagent spheres ofthe sun, be deducted, the total is reduced only by six. Alexander makes three suggestions (706. 8-15): (1) that Aristotle subtracts the two Callippean spheres of the sun, and the two reagent spheres to correspond, and similarly subtracts four spheres from the moon, forgetting that there are here no reagent spheres to be subtracted. (2) that he subtracts all the extra spheres assigned to the sun and the moon by Callippus and himself, forgetting that two of the extra sun-spheres are needed to counteract two of the Eudoxean sun-spheres. (3) that, as Sosigenes had suggested, we should read évvéa for érrd. Another suggestion has been made by Krische, who (followed by Schwegler and Bz.) holds that the motions to be subtracted are the four reagent motions of Mercury which prevent its forward motions from affecting the sun, and the four reagent motions of the sun which prevent its forward motions from affecting the moon. These, he thinks, may be omitied because, the sun and the moon being far from one another and from the planets, there is no danger of their being affected by the forward movements of Mercury and the sun respectively. To this view there are three objections. (a) Aristotle says nothing of a greater isolation of the sun and the moon, and it is clear that he believed all the spheres to be in contact (De Caelo 287% 5-11)— presumably assigning various thicknesses to the shells of the spheres. (4) The reagent spheres are spoken of as belonging to the system of the outer, not the inner, of the two planets concerned (I. 1), so that the meaning required by Krische’s view would have been expressed by saying ‘if one were not to assign fo Mercury and to the sun the motions we spoke of’. (c) Krische ignores De Caelo 29135 éAdrrovs yap Avs Kal oedyvn KWotvTa KWyoes HY TOV TAGVW_EVWOV aoTpwV eva. This of course refers to the forward motions only. Now the greatest number of forward motions assigned to any of the planets is five, so that Aristotle must have assigned less than five forward motions to the sun and the moon; i.e. the reduction of the total number of spheres 394 COMMENTARY to 47 is not got by subtracting reagent spheres only, as Krische supposes. Dreyer (p. 114) suggests, after Martin, that Aristotle might have meant to dispense not only with the extra Callippean spheres of the sun and the moon but also with one of the Eudoxean spheres of the sun, that which was devised to explain the-supposed motion of the sua in latitude, and accordingly to reduce the reagent spheres of the sun to one. This would give the number 47, but as Dreyer observes Aristotle is unlikely to have thought of this reduction. There is at any rate nothing in this passage to suggest it. The most probable explanation of Aristotle’s meaning is the second given by Alexander, viz. that as regards the sun and the moon Aristotle proposes to return to Eudoxus’ theory. But if this be so, he holds that the sun and the moon have fewer motions than any of the planets; why then does he say in the De Caelo (loc. cit.) that they have fewer motions than some of the planets? ‘The answer is that the paradox he is examining there is that the number of motions of the heavenly bodies does not increase steadily as we proceed inward from the sphere of the fixed stars, which has one only, but first increases and then decreases. It is enough for the statement of the paradox to say that the sun and the moon have fewer motions than some of the planets, and Aristotle does not say more than the statement of the paradox requires. 14. The manuscripts and Alexander have opa:pav, while Them.¢ and Simpl.¢ have opdv, and read xai ras aicOyras |. 16, which is omitted by Alexander. If these last words are kept, they must refer to the spheres, and since the number of the spheres cannot be inferred from itself, odaipdv in 1. 14 cannot stand. qopdy is probably an early emendation which has come in for this reason. But it does not suit the context. It is not the case that Aristotle has so far enumerated motions and only now proceeds to infer corresponding spheres. Spheres have been mentioned throughout the passage 1073) 17— 1074%14, and the enumeration in 1074 6-14 has been expressly stated as an enumeration of spheres. oda:pdv therefore is right. But if so, xat ras aicOnras, as we have seen, cannot also be right. In any case the word dpxat is not appropriate to the sensible things in question, the spheres, but to their movers, and it is to these that the word ovtcia also is in the context applied (1. 22), The argument in ll. 17-24 is purely an argument from the number of the spheres (or movements) to the number of the moving causes. Goebel is therefore right in omitting kal ras aicOyras. 17-24. The argument is: (1) There is no motion in the heavens which does not contribute to the motion of a star. (2) Every substance which is free from outside influence (draOys |. 19 = axivyros |. 15) and is enjoying the sammum donum must be an end, and must produce a motion by final causality (1. 22). In other words, All motions in the heavens are motions required to explain the behaviour of the heavenly bodies. Every perfect substance produces a motion in the heavens. A. 8. 10742 14 — 1074> 3 395 Therefore the number of perfect substances is the number of the motions required to explain the motion of the heavenly bodies. 20. Bz. is clearly right in proposing to read téAogs (which is read by two manuscripts of Alexander); this is shown by as téAos odaar popas bea. 21. tavtas, the 55 (or 47) unmoved movers answering to the 55 (or 47) spheres. 22-23. The movers of the planetary spheres are here said to act as final causes on the planetary spheres, as God does on the sphere of the fixed stars; i.e. a sort of desire is ascribed to the planetary spheres ; cf. De Caelo 292% 20-25. The relation of their movers to God is nowhere stated, but is presumably also one of desire. Though the mover is the téAos opas here, the moved body is the tédos hopas in 1. 30; i.e. the mover is the of évexa in the sense of the rwvds, and the moved is the o@ évexa in the sense of the rwi, to use the language of 1072? 2. 31-38. The unity of the universe is proved on physical grounds in De Caelo i. 8, 9; Aristotle here offers the metaphysical proof which he there merely refers to, 2779. Schwegler points out a difficulty into which Aristotle falls. If the immateriality of the first mover proves its uniqueness, how can there be 55 immaterial movers, as Aristotle’s theory implies?

Aristotle speaks as if Cronos, Zeus, Ares, Aphrodite, and Hermes were primarily star-gods and only later had human characteristics assigned to them. This is not historically true; the application of these names to the planets is late (cf: 1073 31-35 n.). His meaning is probably more general—that 396 COMMENTARY the gods of mythology have their origin in the prime forces that lie behind nature, and that early religion is right in recognizing the divine behind nature (Il. 8-10). 4. For the utilitarian value of myth cf. a. 995 4. 5-7. The anthropomorphism of the early beliefs is referred to simi- larly in B. 997" 10, Pol. 1252» 26. In Aristotle’s own view the stars are really much more divine than men (Z. WV. 1141 34). 6. kai tv dddwv Lowy dpotous trot, Alexander refers to the Egyptian mythology, and Aristotle may have had this in mind, since he refers to barbarians, and indeed to the Egyptians, in a similar connexion (De Caelo 240 5, Pol. 1329”25-33).

The mode of existence of the supreme reason (ch. 9). 1074515. What must be the mode of existence of reason, if it is the most divine thing in the world? (1) If it thinks nothing, it is no better than a man asleep. (2) If it thinks, but its thinking depends on something else, it being itself only potency, not it but its thinking will be the best thing. (3) What does it think? Itself or something else? If the latter, either the same object always or different things at different times. Does it make a difference whether its object is noble or trivial? Evidently it must contemplate what is most divine, and without changing; any change would be for the worse and would infect with movement what is unmovable. 28. (Return to question (2).) If it is only a potency, (a) the continuity of its thought will be laborious; (4) its object will be nobler than it. The potency may be realized in the thinking of the worst possible object, so that the mere thinking is not what is best. 33. (Return to question (3).) Therefore, since reason is the best thing in the universe, it must think itself; its thinking is a thinking of thinking. 35. (4) But how can this be? All apprehension seems to be of another, and of itself only by the way, And (5) is it thinking or being thought that gives reason its goodness ? 38. (Answer to question (4).) Where the object is immaterial it is A. 8. 10744 —9. 1074» 16 307 identical with the subject, and this is the case with the object of reason, 1075* 5. (6) Is the object composite? If so, the thought of it involves transition. No; everything immaterial is indivisible, As the human reason (or rather that of composite beings) is in a certain period of time (for it possesses its good not in this or in that but in a whole, since its good is different from itself), so is the divine self-thought throughout eternity. Aristotle now turns to the consideration of 6 vots, i.e. of the supreme intellect which has in ch. 7 been shown to be implied as the cause of the movement of the heavens, 107416. The description of the supreme reason as the most divine Tov Patvonever is strange, since ra pavdueva Means properly things apprehended by sense. But ¢atveoOar can also be used of what is discovered by reason (Bz. /udex 809* 8), and seems to be used here of all the things discovered whether by sense or by reason, 16-35. There are certain difficulties, which must be met if we are to succeed in describing the supreme reason in such a way as to make it the most divine of all the things we know. (1) LI. 17, 18. We must not describe it as knowing nothing, This is to make it an unrealized potentiality, which is no fit object of worship. (2) LI. 18-21. We must not say that it knows but something else determines it to know. This is to make it essentially a dvvayis, which must be inferior to its actuality and therefore not the best thing in the world. (3) Li. 21-27. It must know (a) itself or (6) something else, and if something else, then either (i) always the same object or (ii) different objects at different times. Now the object of knowledge makes a difference to the value of the knowledge; the object of the supreme reason must therefore be what is most divine, and therefore not different things at different times. Any change must be a change for the worse, and, apart from this, no change should be ascribed to that which has been shown in ch, 7 to be unchangeable. (ii) is thus set aside. Aristotle now (I. 28) recurs to the second difficulty, though this has already been dealt with in ll. 18-21. He has in ll. 21, 22, implied that that question is not quite settled, and he returns to it because it has a bearing on the third. If the supreme reason is a mere faculty of knowing, then (a) it will find continuous knowledge toil- some (cf. @. ro50%24, De Somno 454° 26), which is absurd, and (4) the object of its knowledge, which as we have seen (Il. 25, 26) must be the most divine thing in the world, will be more precious than the reason or its knowing, since, if reason is a mere faculty, it is a Svapus rdv évavtiwy and is capable of being actualized as the knowledge of the worst thing in the world, so that its mere actualization cannot be the best thing in the world. AS 398 COMMENTARY This enables Aristotle (I. 33) to set aside not only the suggestion that the supreme reason is a mere faculty, but also the suggestion (3 (2) above) that it knows anything other than itself. Since it is the most divine thing in the world (I. 16), and its object is the most divine thing in the world (ll. 25, 26), it must be its own object. Its knowing is a knowing of knowing. —_ The argument is somewhat confused by the failure to keep the —second and the third question distinct. For the doctrine of vonaews vonats cf. 1072) 20. 18-21. Alexander supposes Aristotle to be here setting aside the suggestion that not reason as a whole but some part of it is what strictly speaking knows (xvpiov). But this interpretation is ruled out by Gd\Aa ddvapyis 1. 20 and by ere vods ere vénows |. 21, where vots answers to dvvamuis |. 20. ddAo Kvproy is ‘some external condition determining reason to activity’. 35-38. Of the two difficulties raised here, Aristotle answers the first in 38—1075%5; he points out that the divine véyois knows itself not év wapepyw but as its only object. The second question is left unanswered. The answer Aristotle probably has in mind is something like this: If A knows B and is known by C the question may fairly be asked ‘is it in virtue of its knowing or of its being known that A is good?’ But when A knows itself, the question becomes ‘is it because A knows A or because A is known by A that A is good?’ and this is an unmeaning question. 36. atts 8 év mapépyw, e.g. the medical man knows primarily about health, and secondly that his knowledge is knowledge about health. 10757 1-3. émt pev . . . vonors, ‘in the arts the knowledge is the substance and essence of its object, and in it only the matter of the object is omitted, while in the sciences the definition and knowing is the very object’ (since the object in this case, being universal, contains no matter), Cf.

It is therefore better to follow Alexander’s interpretation: ‘As the human reason, or rather the reason of beings compounded out of matter and form’; the last words extend the remark so as to make it refer to any beings other than man who have reason and also have matter. It is awkward that ovvGerov should refer in |. 5 to the object and in 1. 8 to the subject of knowledge, but this is not unlike Aristotle’s manner; he is care- less in such matters.

All things are ordered together for the common weal though as in a household the higher members are less free than the lower. All must, at least in their dissolution, contribute to the whole. Difficulties in other views. 25. (1) All other thinkers make all things out of contraries. But neither ‘all things’ nor ‘out of contraries’ is right. Further, con- traries cannot act on one another. Our solution is that there is a tertium quid, the substratum. But other thinkers make one of the contraries matter (e.g. the unequal, the many). We refute this by saying that the matter which is one for all things is contrary to nothing. Further, on this view all things except the One will share in evil, since evil is one of the two elements. 36. Others do not even make the good and the bad first principles. Yet in all things the good is a principle. The former view rightly makes it a principle, but does not say whether it is final, efficient, or formal cause. br. Empedocles has a strange view. He makes love the good, but makes it both an efficient and a material cause. Even if the same thing is both, their essence is not the same. In which capa- city, then, is love a principle? It is strange also that he makes strife (which = evil) imperishable. 8. Anaxagoras makes the good the efficient cause, for reason is the source of movement ; but this implies an end other than reason (unless the efficient and final cause are identified, as by us), Further, why does he not assume a contrary to the good? 11. None of those who speak of contraries use them—unless we recast their views. And no one tells us how, if all things have the same causes, some things are perishable, some not. Further, some make the things-that-are out of not-being ; others to avoid this make all things one. 16. (2) No one states a proper efficient cause of generation. Those who posit two principles need a third, supreme one; and those who posit Ideas need a supreme principle. Why do particulars share in Ideas? 20. Other thinkers are bound to assume a contrary to first philo- sophy ; we need not, since we assume no contrary to its object, for all contraries have matter and potentiality. 24. If there is xothzng but sensibles, there is no governing principle, no order, no generation, no celestial movements, but, as in mytho- Mer tO, 10759 LI—22 401 logy and in physics, we are referred from one principle always to another. 27. If on the other hand there are Ideas or numbers, (a) they cause nothing or at least no motion. Further, (4) how can things that are unextended produce what is extended? Number cannot be either efficient or formal cause of a continuum. Further, (c) no contrary can be the efficient cause, since all contraries are capable of not being, and their activity is at least posterior to their potentiality, so that things could not be eternal if contraries were their cause. But there are eternal things. Therefore the premises must be revised in the way we have stated. (d) No one tells us what unifies a number, or soul and body, or form and thing. The only true answer is, ‘the efficient cause’. 37. (¢) Those who put mathematical number first and make a series of kinds of substance, each kind with distinct principles, make the universe disjointed, with many governing principles. But such it must not have. 1075* 11-15. The doctrine here stated is that goodness exists not only immanently in the world but transcendently in God, and even more fundamentally in Him, since He is the source of the good in the world, which is produced by the desire for Him as the order in an army is produced by its striving to do the will of its leader. 15.

The freemen in the house answer to the heavenly bodies, which are bound by necessity, the slaves and animals to mankind and indeed all sublunary creatures, which are much less divine (Z. JV. 1141%34) and whose actions are largely contingent. Aristotle, as Grant observes (£7hzcs* i. 286), assumes freedom for man, ‘not so much from a sense of the deep importance of morality, but rather from an idea of the slightness of man and of his actions in com- parison with nature, and with what he would call the “ diviner parts” of the re : ‘ For the nature of each of them is such a principle’, i.e. it pro- 2578-2 Dd 402 : COMMENTARY duces obedience to duty in the higher creatures, caprice in the lower. 23. déyw 8 ofoy els yer td Sraxprbjvor dvdykn Gmracw ede, ‘all things, even if they make no other contribution ‘to the whole, must at least come to be dissolved’, sc. so that better things may be made out of their elements.

Q-I0. ddd seems to introduce an objection—Aristotle’s first objec- tion to Anaxagoras (cf. drowov dé kai], 10), Anaxagoras exemplifies the vagueness of early thinkers on the question whether the good is A. 10, 1078% 23. 1075 19 403 a final, an efficient, or a formal cause (* 38). He introduces it as an efficient cause, in the shape of reason. But since it must be for some purpose that reason produces motion, there must be another good which is a final cause. The objection is the same which is expressed in A. 988? 6-16. The argument is made clearér by placing a full stop after xvet in], 8. Aristotle thinks that he can himself dispense with two distinct causes, an efficient and a final. The form of health, as existing in the doctor’s mind, is the efficient cause of his action; and as something to be realized in the body of another, it is the final cause. Cf. Z. 1034224, A. 10707 14. 10-11. Aristotle complains that Anaxagoras, having recognized reason, or good, as one principle, ought to have recognized evil as another. Elsewhere Aristotle treats him as recognizing opposite prin- ciples of good and evil (A. 988717, cf. 98930, ' 16). His point must be that Anaxagoras does not explicitly describe the chaos as the opposite of reason or of the good, though implicitly treating it as such (989 19). But in reality, according to Aristotle, evil cannot be a first principle (év rots é€ dpyqs ovOev éoru kaxdv, ®. 1051* 19). 12. 08 xp@ytav tots evavtiows.

This curious and difficult passage seems to be an allusion to Plato’s recognition (Rep. 477-478) of ignorance as a state of mind op- posed to knowledge and related to not-being as knowledge is to being. ‘Other thinkers, since they recognize only two, and these contrary, principles, must recognize an ignorance related to one of them (non- being or matter) as knowledge is to the other (being or form). But we need not. For we make the highest knowledge refer to a first principle which stands above the contraries and itself has*no con- trary ; for contraries contain matter, and things containing matter exist only potentially. The ignorance which is opposed to any knowledge leads to an object opposed to the object of the knowledge; but our first principle has no opposite, and therefore for us the highest know- ledge has no opposite ignorance.’ 7 22. 7a évavtia here means ‘things possessing contrary attributes’, while in ® 30 it means the contrary attributes themselves. 23. kal Suvdue: Taira €or.

Bz, (reading ratra éorw and treating ratdra as predicate) takes the words to mean that each contrary is potentially its contrary; guod album esi actu, idem nigrum est potentia et vice versa.

But it is required by the rhythm of the sentence, and it would be particularly easy for the last word of a book to drop out in the archetype. Aristotle is not a thoroughgoing monist. He is a monist in the sense that he believes in one supreme ruling principle, God or the primum movens. But God is not for him all-inclusive. (1) The sensible world is thought of as having a matter not made by God, though the whole history of the sensible world is caused by the desire to approximate to the divine life. (2) There are subordinate spiritual beings (1073% 37, 1074215) which move the heavenly spheres without being moved (i.e. move them ds dpexra), and whose relation to God is never indicated by Aristotle.

M and N relatively to one another and to the rest. of the MJefaphysics, by Jaeger’s researches in his Arzsto/eles, pp. 181-199, 212-215. BookM, with its clear distinction between the doctrines of Plato, Speusippus, and Xenocrates, belongs to a later period than the criticism of the ideal theory in Book A. The original ideal theory is now for Aristotle somewhat out of date, and he is content to reproduce in chs. 4, 5 what he has said about it in A. 9; his efforts are now turned towards the discussion of mathematical and ideal numbers and magnitudes. The discussion is completed by 10862 15, and he ends, as he does occa- sionally elsewhere (Jaeger refers to the end of A and of £. J. ix), with a literary quotation (1086417). The final sentence (ib. 18-21) is difficult to construe, and perhaps its last words are missing, as might easily happen at the end of a book. Syrianus tells us that some manuscripts made M end at this point. In M. 1086 21-32 we have a preface which Jaeger (187-189) has shown to be a doublet of that at the beginning of M (1076* 8-32). The latter is much the more elaborate. It mentions, besides Ideas and numbers, the spatial magnitudes (I. 18); it distinguishes the views of Plato, Speusippus, and Xenocrates (ll. 19-22). It treats the dis- cussion of the original ideal theory as a minor matter, sufficiently discussed in the ééwrepuxot Adyou (Il. 26-29). In trying to find a date for the section M. 10864 21-end, Jaeger concentrates on 1086? 16-19. It is not clear that he is right in supposing that when Aristotle says BovAdwefa he must mean, as in A. 990” 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 991» 7, B. 997? 3, 1002» 14, ‘we Platonists ’. But it is at any rate possible to interpret the passage as an argumenium ad hominem directed against Platonists from a Platonic standpoint. What is more convincing is that, while in 1086% 21-24 Aristotle says of the views of the materialists merely that they have been discussed in the P&ysics, and are inappropriate to the present dis- cussion, in 1076 8-10 he says that the matter of sensible things has been discussed in the Physics, and their actuality (or form) has been discussed Jater. I.e., M. zuz/—1086* 18 presupposes, while M. 1086* 21—/in. does not, the discussions of ZH®. The one version presupposes only AB; the other belongs to the time when Aristotle had worked the greater part of the JJefaphysics more or less into a single whole. (Jaeger, 212-215.) RST 1076" 9 407 Jaeger concludes that M. 1086* 21—end belongs to the same early period as AB, i.e. to Aristotle’s stay at Assos in 348-345 B.c. It is only natural, then, that this brief section contains more references to AB than the whole of Z—A (1086 34, » 2, 15). But in N. 1091*32, otov BovddcucOa A€yew abtd Td dyabdv Kal 7d apiorov, Aristotle certainly treats himself as a Platonist. N, then, also belongs to the Assos period; and, since Xenocrates was Aristotle’s companion at Assos, it is only natural that, while M criticizes him frequently and sharply (e.g. 1083) 2 xe(purra A€yerau 5 tplros tpdros), N criticizes him only in passing (1088> 28-35, r1ogo? 20-32), Further, the preface in M. 9 undertakes to examine the views of those who hold that the elements (1) of Ideas or (2) of mathematical numbers are the elements of all things. The theory of Ideas is treated of in M. 1086 32—end. N begins with a reference to the wide-spread doctrine that the elements of all things are contraries, but soon (1087> 4) settles down to discuss the view that unity and plurality or the equal and the unequal are the elements at once of mathematical number and of all things; and to this theory (that of Speusippus, already mentioned in the preface, M. 1086 29) and the kindred theory of the Pythagoreans, the rest of N is for the most part devoted. M. 1068# 21—N. end thus forms a whole, and a whole earlier than M beginning—1086? 18. Two supposed kinds of immaterial substance to be discussed— mathematical objects and Ideas (ch, 1. 1076% 8-32). 107628. We have discussed elsewhere the substance of sensible things; we have now to consider whether there is apart from these an unchangeable eternal substance. First we must sift the opinions of others on the question. 16, Some hold that mathematical objects are substances; others hold that the Ideas are. Some believe in both, some identify them, some believe only in the mathematical objects. 22. We will discuss (I) mathematical objects, asking no further questions about them but simply whether they exist, and if so, how; (II) the Ideas (briefly); (III) and chiefly, whether the substances and principles of things are numbers and Ideas. 107629. év pev TH pebd8m...

Alexander ascribes to Xenocrates (745. 32) and also to Speusippus (782. 32) the belief in mathematical number only ; in 766.8 he ascribes to both Speusippus and Xenocrates the identification of ideal and mathematical number, and to some of the Pythagoreans the belief in mathematical number only. We may safely infer that he knew little or nothing about the matter. A com- parison of Z. 1028 21-24, where Speusippus is mentioned by name, with A. 1075” 37—1076%3 and N. rogo» 13-20 makes it evident that it was Speusippus who rejected the Ideas and believed in mathematical number only. Asc.

Bernays tries to show that in all these passages except the first the reference is to Aristotle’s dialogues, which were ‘ exoteric’, i.e. were published in a fuller sense than the works in which the references occur. In other words Bernays accepts the distinction, which had certainly become current by the time of Cicero, between the exoteric and the acroamatic works of Aristotle. It may be admitted that all the subjects in question were probably treated of in Aristotle’s dialogues, or in other lost works of his which were published in the full sense. Thus (to take the present passage and the first passage from the Hudemian Ethics) it is certain that Aristotle criticized the Ideas in the dialogue De Philo- sophia and in the works De Jdets and De Bono; he may also have dealt with them, as Bernays suggests, in the dialogues De Justitia, Sophistes, and Politicus, But the meaning of Aéyou in the Physics passage, as the preposition S:¢ shows, is not ‘books’ but ‘arguments’, and w7o in the present passage suggests the same, in view of the frequent tendency in Greek to treat ‘the argument’ as if it were a person, as in Aikowos Adyos and "Adiucos Adyos, 6 Adyos aipée, and many other examples quoted by Diels. By a comparison of Pol. 1323% 21-35 with Z. VV. 1098» 9-18 (dealing with the same subject) Diels shows beyond a doubt that by ra ey rots eCwrepiKois doyors IN 13234 22 Aristotle means the same as he does by ra Aeydpeva in 1098? 10, i.e. that in that passage at least é€. A\dyo. means ‘ discussions not pecu- liar to the Peripatetic school’. This is probably its meaning in the other passages also. ‘The precise shade of meaning may differ in the different passages ; in some the reference is to Academic doctrines, in others to discussions or distinctions which were familiar to cultivated 410 COMMENTARY Athenians of no particular philosophical school. In the present pas- sage the reference probably is to attacks on the Ideas by Antisthenes and by sophists like Polyxenus, the inventor of the ‘third man’ argu- ment against the Ideas (cf. A. 990 17n.). Diels’s conclusions do not seem to have been refuted by Jaeger’s argument in Ar/stofeles, 254- 270.

If they exist, they must exist either (A) in sensible things, in the way maintained by certain thinkers, or (B) separate from sensible things, or (C) in some other way. Mathematical objects cannot exist as distinct substances (ch. 2). 10762 38. (A) We have shown (cf. B. 998% 7-19) that mathematical objects cannot be 2% sensible things; (1) because two solids cannot be in the same place, (2) because it would follow that the other powers and characteristics of things must also be immanent. b4. We now add (3) that on this theory no body can be divided. For it would have to be divided at a plane, the plane at a line, the line at a point, so that since the point is on this view in- divisible, the body is so too; and if mathematical body, then also the sensible body in which it is. 11. (B) Nor can mathematical objects exist apart from sensible things. For (1) if there are separate mathematical solids, there will be (@) separate planes, lines, and points, 16. and therefore also besides (4) the planes, lines, and points of the mathematical solid there must be (c) planes, lines, and points prior to (while the former are simultaneous with) the mathematical solid. 24. Again there will be (d) lines and points prior to the lines in these planes, and (¢) points prior to those in these prior lines, 28. The accumulation is ridiculous; there is one set of solids apart from the sensibles, three sets of planes, four of lines, five of points. Which will be the objects of the mathematical sciences ? 36. (2) The same argument can be applied to numbers. There Meera O70r20 —. 1076" 33 41 wil be units apart from the points, units apart from the objects of sense, units apart from the objects of knowledge. 39. (3) The objects of astronomy will exist apart from sensible things, as much as geometrical objects; but how can there be moving objects such as the heavens apart from sensible things? 1077* 4. There will be objects of optics and of harmonics—voice, senses, sensibles, animals, all separate from the ordinary objects of sense. ; g. (4) There will be separate objects, which are neither numbers, points, spaces, nor times, for the universal mathematics which is true of all of these alike. 14. (5) The belief violates common sense. It makes mathematical objects prior to sensible things, but really they are posterior in sub- stance, being incomplete. 20. (6) What gives them unity? Things in ¢4zs world are made one by soul, by a portion of soul, or the like, but what gives unity to these divisible quanta? 24. (7) Length is generated first, then breadth, then depth, so that if that which is posterior in becoming is prior in substance, body is prior to the plane or line; and it is more complete because it is what becomes the vehicle of soul. gi. (8) Body is a substance, but lines cannot be substances, either as form, or as matter (how could a thing be composed of lines ?). : g6. They may be prior in definition to body, but they are not therefore prior in substance. That is prior in substance which excels in power of separate existence ; that is prior in definition whose defini- tion is implied in the definition of something else. b4. If attributes cannot exist apart from substances, they are prior in definition to the complex of substance + attribute, but not in sub- stance ; thus the product of abstraction is not prior nor that of addition posterior. 12. Mathematical objects, then, are not more substantial than bodies, nor prior to them in being (but only in definition), nor separately existent; and since they could not be zz sensible objects either (1076 38-» 11), they exist either not at all or in some qualified sense. 1076? 33. # év Tots aioOntois etvar adtdé. This doctrine is said (1. 39) to have been discussed év rots dvaropyuacw, i.e. in Bk. B, and the reference is clearly to 998%7-19. The view in question is there described in a way which marks it off clearly from the ordinary 412 COMMENTARY Pythagorean view (for which see A. 987 27-29), and is attacked both there (998# 11-13) and here (» 1-3) by arguments which have force only against believers in separate Ideas of some kind. Further, in 10802 37—» 3 the regular Pythagorean view is. distinguished from another form of belief in numbers immanent in things (sc. the view referred to here), We may infer that Aristotle is speaking here either of Platonizing Pythagoreans (as Robin infers) or of Pythagoreanizing Platonists. For evidence of a Platonizing school of Pythagoreans cf. Robin, 649-651. Syrianus (84. 21) says that no Pythagoreans or Platonists held this view; but this is part of his general policy of defence of Platonism against Aristotle. 39. elpynror pev, B. 998% 11-15, 997% 12-34. by, It is rather surprising that these thinkers recognized mathema- tical solids as distinct from sensible solids. Planes, lines, and points might naturally be distinguished from sensible things, since all sensible things have three dimensions; but what difference could there be be- tween mathematical and sensible sods? The answer no doubt is that by mathematical solids were meant the regular solids to which sensible objects never do more than approximate. 2. Tas dAas Suvdpers Kal pdcers, Alexander (725. 21) thinks the limits of sensible bodies, i. e. planes and lines, or else the characteristics studied by applied sciences like optics and harmonics, are meant. The meaning is fixed, however, by the corresponding passage in B. 998% 11-13. The dvvapes and dices are, quite generally, the characteristics of things, which these thinkers treated as separate Forms when consistency required that they, like ra poa@npuarixa, should be viewed as immanent in things. 4-11. Aristotle argues as follows: ‘If these mathematical solids are divisible, they are divisible along or at (karé) planes, and similarly the planes are divisible along lines, and the lines at points. But points are indivisible; so therefore are the lines, planes, and solids. But if the mathematical solids are indivisible, so must the sensible solids be.: Which is absurd.’ He treats the divisibility of the line at a point as implying the division of the point, and one might be disposed to question this. But the one does imply the other, according to the principles of the view he is criticizing, for (1) these thinkers cannot say, aS he would, that the point is brought into actual existence by the act of division; it is a substance, always existing actually ; and (2) they cannot say that the division comes de/ween two consecutive points, since (so Alexander says, and we may suppose that he is right) they, like Aristotle, held the line to be continuous and so to have no consecutive points. 1I—1077? 14. Aristotle now proceeds to the second alternative, stated in ® 34, that mathematical objects exist apart from sensibles (the view of Plato and of Speusippus). If there are mathematical solids apart from and logically prior to the sensible solids, there will be (1) (Il. 14-16) planes, lines, and points apart from sensible planes, lines, and points. M. 2. 10768 39 — 10778 20 413 (2) (Il. 16-24) planes, lines, and points in the mathematical solids. (3) 4s planes, lines, and points apart from those numbered 2). (4) (il. 24-27) lines and points prior to the lines in the planes numbered (3). (5) (ll. 27, 28) points prior to those in the lines numbered (4). The lines in the planes numbered (3), though introduced by raw (1. 24) are not meant to be a new class not mentioned before ; else we should get five classes of lines instead of (as Aristotle says, 1. 32) four. They are identified with the lines numbered (3), and are mentioned anew in ]. 25 only as leading up to the further class of lines and points numbered (4). The enumeration is careless and by no means complete. Aristotle might have argued that if there are two sets of solids (sensible and mathematical), there will be two sets of planes in these solids and two sets abstracted from them; four sets of lines in these planes and four sets abstracted from them ; eight sets of points in these lines and eight abstracted from them. The enumeration betrays its incompleteness by lack of symmetry. If we take the sets of mathematical objects which he mentions we get the series:—one set of solids, three of planes, four of lines, five of points; and if we add in the sensibles we get the series 2, 4, 5, 6. Neither series is symmetrical. The fact is that Aristotle begins cor- rectly the geometrical series 2, 4, 8, 16, but tires of the capevors and turnstheseries intoan arithmetical one. The capevors is éroros enough, even as stated by him. The error which lies at its base is the ywp- opos Of, or assigning of separate existence to, what is only distinguish- able by thought.

The question what causes the unity of mathematical magnitudes is inserted between two arguments from genesis, (1) the argument that sensible magnitudes must be prior in essence to mathematical because they 414 COMMENTARY are later in generation (Il. 18-20), and (2) the argument that solids must be prior in essence to planes and lines because they are later in generation (Il. 24-28). 20.

Bz. points out that there is a serious ambiguity in Aristotle’s use of yéveous in this argument. yéveous in the sense in which 76 yevéret vorepor is oaia mpdrepor is natural genesis, e.g. the growth of the boy into the man. But yéveous in the sense in which it can be applied to mathematical objects refers to the quite different process by which the line is generated by a moving point, the plane by a moving line, the solid by a moving plane. The ambiguity deprives the argument of whatever value it might otherwise have possessed. 24-26. mpdtov ... éoxev evidently refers to Speusippus fr. 4. 44-47 (Lang). 27. An ambiguity is to be noticed in the meaning of ri odcta mpétepov in this chapter. In this line it is used of that which is Jater in generation, and means in effect what is réAcov (I. 28), and in |. 19 TH ovoia v Dorrepov has the corresponding meaning.

We might interpret dcwy as depending on Adywy, not on Adyou, and translate ‘of whose definitions the definitions of the other things are com- pounded’, but it seems more likely that the transition from doa to dour leads Aristotle to substitute in thought an antecedent rovrwy for the antecedent raira. ‘Those things are prior in substance which when separated from other things surpass them in power of indepen- dent existence, and things are prior in definition to the things whose definitions are compounded out of their definitions.’ | Schwegler’s proposal to excise é« does not, therefore, seem necessary.

He argues that ‘ man’ cannot be considered as added to ‘ white ’, but rather ‘ white’ as added to ‘man’, On this interpretation the clause would mean something like this: ‘ We have spoken of ‘‘ white man”’ as if it were ex mpoobecews compared with “ white”. But really it is é« mpoofécews only as compared with ‘‘man”.’ Alexander’s general interpretation agrees with this, but it seems clear that he read ro Aeve@ with the manuscripts, and interpreted this as ‘by virtue of white’ (rpooécer tov NevKod); V. 733. 34. This is surely an impossible interpretation. It seems better to translate ‘ by addition to the white’. It is true as Bz. says that we cannot suppose a ‘ white’ to exist first and then to become a man. But we can think first of ‘white’ and then add the thought of ‘man’, and this is the Aristotelian use of rpdcfecrs. Cf. Z. 1029 33, where we have 7G dAXo (sc. dvOpwrov) aitG (sc.

(C) As the universal propositions in mathematics are about spatial magnitudes and numbers but not about them as such, so there may be proofs about sensible magnitudes “but not about them gwa sensible. As there are reasonings about things merely gwa movable without there being an entity ‘the movable’ either apart from or in sensible things, so there can be reasonings about movable things gua bodies, gua planes, &c. gi. Thus we can say without qualification that mathematical objects exist, and are such as mathematicians suppose. Each science deals with objects in respect of some particular attribute and not of those incidental to it. Similarly mathematics deals neither with sensible things as such nor with separate non-sensible things, but with the attributes that belong to sensible things gwa involving lines and planes. 1078*9. The simpler the object, the more exact the knowledge ; arithmetic is more accurate than geometry, geometry than kinetics, the kinetics of simple movement than the kinetics of complex movement. 14. Harmonics and optics, again, study their objects not gua voice or sight but gva numbers and lines; so too mechanics. There is no mistake involved in supposing the objects separated from their con- comitants, any more than in the geometer’s supposition that a line is a foot long when it is not. 21. The best procedure is that of arithmetic and geometry --to suppose separate what is not really so. Their objects exist potentially though not actually. gi. Since the beautiful may be found in unchangeable things though the good is confined to action, they err who hold that mathematics says nothing of the beautiful or the good. Even if it does not mention the beautiful it proves attributes that are the chief forms of beauty— order, symmetry, definiteness. be, Since these are the causes of many results, mathematics in a sense treats the beautiful as a cause. 107720. % evar Svaiperd. One might have thought that divisi- bility was an essential characteristic of all the objects of mathematics. But it must be remembered that points (# 12) and units (1078 24) are among these objects. _ 33. Aristotle said in 1, 16 of mathematical objects that otx dds . M. 3. 1077 20 — 10788 28 417 éorw.

The ida wa0y were the derivative attributes which belonged to, e. g., animals gua male or gua female—the major terms of demonstration; the oixeta wa6y are the attributes linearity and numberedness which belong directly to the objects of optics and harmonics and from which other attributes can be derived—the middle terms of demonstration. 20. Alexander’s reading is sufficiently confirmed by N. 108% 22, 28. todrwy, humanity and indivisibility (cf. 1. 26), Alexander may have read rovrov, indivisibility (739. 14). 16 Suvarév. Alexander takes this as subject of érdpyew and supposes that it is a geometrical attribute which Aristotle states to be capable of belonging to man even if he were not indivisible. Alexander is no doubt thinking of the sense of dvvac6a. which has led to the use of the 2673-2 Ee 418 COMMENTARY word ‘power’ in its arithmetical meaning. But (1) what is said dvvacGa in this sense is the line on which a square or a cube is erected, so that 8vvardy in this sense is not asuitable epithet for a man, and (2) the subject of ddpxew is undoubtedly &... aird. Bz. takes 7d dwvardy to mean ‘so far as possibility is concerned’, but this with évdéyerau is otiose, and the usage is apparently not found elsewhere. 0 dvvaroy is probably a gloss on iAuas (1, 31), perhaps introduced here by a copyist who took rovrwy to be the antecedent of g@ and thought that trdpyew needed a subject. The words are omitted by I. 30-31. Sitrdv yap... dAukas. Aristotle means that mathematical objects exist éAucds, and this, since it is opposed to évredexela, we may interpret as = duvdue. The meaning must be that mathematical objects exist neither (1) as actually and substantially present all along in sensible things (refuted 10768 38-11), nor (z) as substances actually existing apart from sensible things (refuted 1076 11 —1078%21), but (3) as potentially present in sensible things and receiving actual existence by the geometer’s act of ywpucpds. Cf. Il. 21 ff. and @, 10514 21-33. The mathematical parts into which a body can be divided are its tdy vonry, as its material elements are its vAn aicOyryn (Z. 1035% 12, 10364 9-12, > 32—1037*5). g1— 6. The thinkers here criticized are those referred to in B. 996% 32 as tév copioctav twes olov ’Apiotimros. In B nothing is said of 7d xaddv ; these thinkers are represented simply as attacking mathematics because it never uses dya6dv as a middle term. Here they are represented as saying that mathematics never uses either dya@dév or xadov, and Aristotle replies that it uses the latter though not the former. This: distinction of the two terms (xaAdv being the wider of the two, ll. 31, 32) isnot found elsewhere in Aristotle, though we may perhaps find a trace of it in IZ, A. 700? 25 76 rovwirdv eo TOV d-yabdv 70 Kwodv, aX’ od ray 76 kaAov. It is somewhat surprising to find Aristotle saying that 76 dyaOor is det ev pdfe, considering that it is found in every cate- gory and can be applied to God and to reason (LZ. JV. 10964 23). But, though xaAdv and dyaféy are often used synonymously, xaAdv is applic- able primarily to the physically beautiful and dya@dv to the morally good ; or at any rate for the sake of argument Aristotle is willing to admit this restriction of the meaning of dyafdv. 35. The épya of beauty are the facts in the nature of the universe due to rats and 76 dpurpevoy ( 2-4), i.e. to the striving of nature to attain to order and determinateness. By the Adyo of beauty Aristotle means rats, cupperpia, TO dpirpevov. The next sentence presents them in another light, as main species (eidn) of beauty. His stricter view is that they are elements in the definition of beauty (cf. Poet, 1450 36 70 Kadov ev peyeOa kai rage éori, ‘involves size and order’), The péyefos which is mentioned in the Poetics and in Pol. 1326* 33 as an element in beauty answers to 16 dpurpévov here; the third element cupperpia is mentioned in Top. 116% 21 as being thought to constitute the beauty of musical tunes, M. 3. 10788 30 — 1078) 5 419 bi, rdgts, the spatial arrangement of the parts; oupperpta, the proportional size of the parts; 13 dpiopévoy, the limitation in size of the whole.

I]. ‘Tur Forms (chs. 4, 5). Flistory and criticism of the theory of Forms (ch. 4). 1078" 7. We must first examine the doctrine, in its original orm, apart from any theory of numbers. 12, The founders of the doctrine were convinced by Heraclitus arguments that sensible things are always in flux, and inferred that there must be other things to serve as objects of knowledge. 17. Socrates was the first to seek general definitions—viz. of the virtues. Democritus had defined, in a way, heat and cold; the Pythagoreans had reduced the definitions of a few things to numbers. 2g. It was natural that Socrates should seek definitions ; for he was trying to reason, and the ‘what’ is the starting-point of reason- ing; there was at that time no dialectical power such as enables people to study contraries without knowing the ‘what’. Two things we may ascribe to Socrates are inductive arguments and general definition, both concerned with the starting-point of knowledge. 30. Socrates did not treat the universals as existing separately ; his successors did, and called them Ideas; by the same argument they involved themselves in Ideas of all universals. 34. Objections: (i) The theory merely doubles the number of things to be explained; for there is an Idea answering to every set of things with a common name; there is a ‘one over many’ both for substances and for non-substances, both for temporal and for eternal entities. 1079" 4. (ii) Of the proofs of the theory, some prove nothing, others would prove the existence of Ideas of things of which the Platonists think there are none, (a) The arguments from the existence of the sciences would prove that there are Forms of all things of which there Re 2 420 COMMENTARY are sciences. (8) The argument of ‘one over many’ would prove that there are Forms of negations. (y) The argument from the possibility of thinking when the object has perished would prove that there are forms of perishable objects. — 11. (5) Of the most accurate arguments some lead to Ideas of relative terms, others posit the ‘third man’. 14. (iii) In general the arguments about the Forms destroy what the supporters of Forms think more important than the Forms; number becomes prior to the dyad, the relative prior to number and thus to the absolute. In various ways the opinions about the Forms conflict with the first principles of the theory. 1g. (iv) According to the view on which the theory is based there will be Forms of many things besides substances (for there can be a single conception, or a science, of other things); but according to the logical requirements of the theory and their actual opinions, if the Forms are shared in there are Forms only of substances. 26. For (a) each is shared in not as an accident of something else but as something not predicated of a subject (i.e. not as anything that shares in doubleness shares in eternality because doubleness is eternal), so that the Forms must be substance. But (8) the same names must indicate substance in the sensible world as in the ideal (else what is meant by calling the Idea ‘one over many’? Ifthe Ideas and the things that share in them ave che same form, there is something com- mon, for instance, to the Idea of two and the particular two, as there is to the perishable twos and to the particular mathematical twos; if they have not the same form, they have only their name in common, as Callias and a statue may both be called ‘a man’.) b 3. If it be suggested that the common definition applies to a Form, and only the name of that which it is the Form of has to be added, the suggestion is unmeaning. (a) To what element in the definition is this tobe added? Every element in it isan Idea, genus and differentia alike. (8) ‘Formness’ will itself be a Form present in all Forms, as ‘plane’ is present in all its species. Thus there is an infinite regress.) 1078” 7-8, St. Te dvta éoti Kal THs dvtTa (7a pabyuarixd) has been the general subject of chs. 2, 3; m@s mpdtepa kai ms of mpdtepa the subject in particular of 1077 17-20, 24—-) 11. 11.

The evidence of Aristotle is against the ascription of the ideal theory to Socrates or to the Pythagoreans. It may, of course, be contended that Aristotle had no knowledge of Socrates’ views except what he got from the Platonic dialogues, and that he com- §T. ALBERTS COLLEGE Lip M. 4. 10786 7-12 421 pletely misunderstood the dialogues in supposing that the doctrines ascribed to Socrates in them are ascribed to him for dramatic pur- poses. But that the ‘mind of the school’ misunderstood the dialogues so completely is unlikely and demands more proof than has yet been offered. The ‘first people who said there are Ideas’ are stated here, , exactly as Plato was stated in Bk. A, to have been influenced by the Heraclitean doctrines (1078 13, 9872 32), to have followed the lead of Socrates in his search for ethical definitions or universals, and to have given the name of Ideas to these universals (cf. 1078 17-19, 30-32, with 9871-8). Prof. Taylor’s view (Varza Socratica, 81-89) that of & éxépucar (I. 31) refers to the Megarian School, the eidév iAor of the Sopfzszes, ignores the correspondence of the passage with that in Aristotle. The main difference between A and M here is that M, in using the phrase of rpGrou tas ideas Pyoavres eivat, and in referring only to the influence of Heracliteanism in general and not of Cratylus in parti- cular, perhaps suggests that Plato was one of a band of thinkers who by their united efforts arrived at the ideal theory. Socrates, however, was not one of this band, though he prepared the way for it; the dis- tinction between his view and the doctrine of Ideas is stated emphati- cally in ll, 30-32. The vague reference of mparou tas ideas Pjoavtes is thoroughly characteristic of M, which is concerned with doctrines, not with people (cf. 1076 ® 16-22, 1080» 11-30). There is, of course, a distinction drawn here between the theory of Idea- numbers (which we know Plato to have held) and the first form of the ideal theory (ll. 9-12). But this does not amount to a distinction, as Prof. Burnet maintains (G. P. 157) between Plato and ‘the first persons who said that the Forms existed’. The distinction is between the theory of Idea-numbers (a theory held in different forms by Plato and by Xenocrates) and the ideal theory as it was originally (€ dpyjs) held by its first supporters (Plato and the rest of the band referred to above). Prof. Burnet tries to discount the value of Aristotle’s state- ‘ments about Socrates (in particular his refusal to treat Socrates as a, or the, founder of the ideal theory) by pointing out that Socrates ‘had been dead for thirty years when Aristotle first came to Athens at the age of eighteen’. He smaintains that all that Aristotle knew about Socrates was derived from the Platonic dialogues, and especially from the Phaedo. But it is as near certainty as we need wish that he must have learnt much from Plato about Socrates by word of mouth. Surely the very fact that he does not take the dialogues at their face - value and ascribe to Socrates everything that is ascribed to him in the dialogues shows that he had independent information in the light of which he interpreted them.

But dvamrew is used thus by other authors. katpds was identified with the number 7 (Al. 38. 16, 75. 23). 23. 75 Sikatov was identified, Alexander tells us (741. 5), with ‘the number that divides ro in half’, i.e. 5 (cf. 721. 13). But elsewhere he says it was the first square, either 4 or 9 (38. 12), and the other evidence (Z. WV. 1132%22, MM. M. 1182%14) tends more in this direction. ydéos was identified with 5, the sum of the. first even and the first odd number (39. 8). 25. oUmw tor ‘jv. Aristotle is quoted as having called Zeno the Eleatic the inventor of dialectic (frr. 1484» 29), and Zeno was doubt- less considerably senior to Socrates (Pl. Parm. 127 Bc), so that ovzw tor Hv is meant only in a very limited sense. Aristotle means that the procedure of which we have an instance in the Parmenzdes (cf. Meno 86 ff. and Sophistes), where the consequences of contrary hypo- theses, ‘if one is’, ‘if many are’, are studied without any definition of one or of many having been agreed upon, was not yet a well-recognized’ mode of discussion in Socrates’ time as it afterwards became. 26. tay évavtioy ei 4 adTy emorypy is again in Zop. 105 23 mentioned as a dialectical inquiry (zpdéracis Aoyixy). It is rather sur- prising to find this particular inquiry about contraries co-ordinated by kai with the general phrase rdavayria, but it is not necessary with Maier (Syll. des Arist. ii. 2. 168) to regard kal... émuornn as a gloss. 28. Aristotle cannot mean that Socrates was the first person who used inductive arguments or gave general definitions, but that he was the first who recognized the importance of them and systematically used the former in order to get the latter. The inductive arguments referred to are not scientific inductions but arguments from analogy such as we often find Socrates using in the AZemoradilia and in Plato’s ‘Socratic’ dialogues. For an instance cf. A. 10252 6-13. 84—108028 agrees almost verbally with A. ggo? 2-991? 9, with the exception of the section 1079” 3-11, which has nothing M. 4. 1078%15 — 1079? 11 423 answering to it in Book A. The main points of divergence are noted below ; for what is common to both passages cf. the notes on Book A. Alexander had the passage in his text of M but does not comment on it. Occasionally A is fuller than M (cf. 990% 26, 991725, 55 with 1079? 23, > 28, 10804), but for the most part M is fuller (cf. go? 20, 9917 4, 17, °3, 7, 9 with 1079 17, 35, > 21, 108042, 6,8).

It suggests an alternative course between the supposition that the Idea is cvvdévvpoy with its particulars (# 33) and the view that it is éuévvpov (@ 36, » 1)—a course, however, which does not free the Platonists from difficulties. The suggestion is that the definition of an Idea is the same as that of its particulars, except that in the former we must add ‘that of which it is’ the Idea or pattern, EE. g. the Idea of circle would be defined as ‘a plane figure such that every point on the circumference is equidistant from the centre, such figure being the Idea of sensible circles’. Aristotle makes two objections. (1) To what element in the definition must the ov éori, the statement of what the Idea is an Idea of, be added? To the word ‘centre ’, the word ‘ plane’, or to every word? Every element in the Idea must be ideal. (2) ‘Being an Idea of something’ will itself be a common nature present in all Ideas, i.e. itself an Idea: I10-II. pvow ... yévos is predicate of etvyar, and there should be a comma after érimedov. It is not necessary to omit ts as Christ suggests. ‘“ So-and-so itself” (aiz¢ 71) will be a nature present in all the Forms as their genus, as ‘‘ plane” is present in all the species of plane figure.’ aio 7 is a generalization of Platonic phrases like airs ayaGov, and the meaning is that Formness will itself be a Form; and this can be attacked by a rpiros dv@pwiros argument. The Forms do not explain the changes in the sensible world (ch. 5). 1079 12. (v) The main question is, what do the Forms contribute either to eternal or to transient sensibles? (a) They cause no change in them, (8) they contribute nothing to the knowledge of them (for, not being in them, they are not their substance), 424 COMMENTARY 17. nor (y) to their being (if they were in them they might perhaps be their causes as white is of the whiteness of that in which it is mixed ; but this view of Anaxagoras and Eudoxus is easily refuted). 23. (vi) Other things are not composed of Forms in any ordinary sense, and to call the Forms patterns and say that other things share ia them is empty metaphor. For (a) what-is it that works with its eye on the Ideas? (@) It is possible to be or become anything without being copied from an original. gi. (y) There will be many patterns, and therefore Forms, of the same thing; to a man there will answer the Forms of animal, biped, and man. (8) The genus will be the Form of its species, so that the same thing will be pattern and copy. 35- (vii) How can the Ideas, being the substances of things, exist apart from the things? In the Phaedo they are said to be causes both of being and of becoming. 1080* 3. Yet (a) even if the Forms exist, the things that share in them do not come into being unless there is a moving cause, and (8) many things, e.g. houses, come into existence though the Platonists say there are no Forms of them, and therefore those also of which they say there are Forms may be or come into being owing to similar causes, and not to the Forms. g. These and other more abstract and accurate arguments may be brought against the Ideas. 1079» 28.

If number is an entity whose essence is just to be number, then (1) there is an order of priority and a specific difference between the numbers, and between the units, which therefore are incomparable. 20. or (2) all units are comparable, as in mathematical number ; 23. or (3) the units of a single number are comparable, but those of different numbers are not comparable zzéer se ; 30. so that while in mathematical number 1 is added to 1 to make 2, in this kind of number 2 is two ones distinct from the number 1 ; 35- or (4) there are all three kinds of number, those described in (1), (2), and (3). 37. Further these numbers must be either separate from things or in things, i.e. composing sensible things; the latter alternative may be true of some or of all numbers. > 4. All those who treat the One as a first principle and a substance have adopted one or other of the above views, which are the only possible views ; all the views but (1) have found support. 1. (A) Some (Plato) believe in both kinds of number—that which has priority and posteriority (the Ideas) and mathematical number ; they believe both to exist apart from sensibles. 14. (2) (a) Some (Speusippus) believe in mathematical number only; (4) the Pythagoreans too believe in mathematical number only, but in the sense that sensible substances are actually composed of extended units—though they cannot tell us how the first extended unit came into being. 21. (C) (a) Another thinker says only ideal number exists, and (6) some (Xenocrates) identify this with mathematical number. 23. There is a similar variety of opinion about lines, planes, and solids. (A) Some distinguish the mathematical lines, &c., and those which come after the Ideas; (#) some say that the mathematical objects exist, and speak mathematically about them (viz. the non- believers in Ideas); (C) others say that the mathematical objects exist, but do not speak mathematically, for they say that not every magnitude is divisible into magnitudes, and not every two units make a two, go. All who treat the One as a first principle suppose numbers to 426 COMMENTARY be composed of abstract units, except the Pythagoreans, who conceive of numbers as extended. 33. These are the possible views; all untenable, but perhaps some more so than others, 1080 15-4. The sentence is_irrégular ‘in structure. Aristotle begins (1. 17) by stating what looks as if it were to be the first of a series of alternative hypotheses about the nature of zzmders, but he proceeds to state three possible forms of this one hypothesis, differing in the view they take of the nature of wnz/s (Il. 18, 20, 23), and recurs to numbers only in 1]. 35, where he states as a fresh alternative that there may be three kinds of number having the three kinds of unit respectively ; finally in 1. 37 he classifies the possible views according to a different principle of division. It is noteworthy that he brings forward his classification as one arrived at a priorz, not by enumeration of existing views. This awakens a certain suspicion that he may in his account of the actual views do them some injustice in order to fit them into his ready-made scheme. He says «definitely, however, that each of the views he mentions had supporters, except the view that all units are incomparable (1080) 8, cf. 1081°35). # tas pev KrAr. (I. 23), though grammatically, co-ordinate with rou etvar xrX. (J. 17), is in sense co-ordinate with # él rév povddwy KrX. (1. 18) and with 7 ets epeens xd. (1. 20). The views Aristotle mentions are (1) the belief in incomparable numbers (1. 17), (2) with units all incomparable (I. 18), or (4) with units all comparable (1. 20), or (c) with the units of each number comparable with each other, but incomparable with those of other numbers (1. 23), (2) the belief in all three kinds of number, i.e. the kind (1 a), the kind (1 4), and the kind (1 c) (1. 35). He omits (3) the belief in two kinds of number, (1 a) and (1 4), ’ (1 a) and (1 ¢), or (1 6) and (1¢). In ll. 21, 36 he confuses (1 4), the belief in incomparable numbers whose units are all comparable, with (4), the belief in comparable numbers (whose units must necessarily be all comparable), for clearly this is what he conceives 6 wabyparixds dpiO.ds to be. It must not be thought that this passage offers a classification of hypotheses about ideal number in particular, for the classification includes the Pythagoreans (16), who drew no distinction between mathematical and ideal number, and Speusippus ( 14), who believed only in the former. What we have is a classification of all the views which treated numbers as ‘separate substances and first causes of existing things’ (#14). Alexander, failing to notice that the Pytha- goreans enter into the classification, takes it to be a classification of theories of ideal number (e.g. 743. 13), and this leads him to give an absurd interpretation of * 35-37. He takes it to mean that e.g. 3, 4, M. 6. 10802 15 — 1080) 4 427 5 might be composed of units all of which are incomparable, 7, 8, 9 of units all of which are comparable, 20, 30 of units such that those in 20 are comparable with each other and those in 30 with each other but those in 20 are not comparable with those in 30. It seems clear that the view referred to in # 35-37 is one which believes in the existence of three complete number series of different kinds. So far as ideal numbers are concerned, the doctrine that they are ‘incomparable’, i.e. incapable of being added or subtracted, multi- plied or divided, is a perfectly sound one which is misunderstood by Aristotle. The ideal numbers are simply the natural numbers, 1, 2, 3, &c., or in other words oneness, twoness, threeness, &c., and these of course cannot be added. You cannot add oneness to one- ness because there is only one oneness; and it is equally certain that you cannot add oneness to twoness. And, further, Aristotle’s notion of numbers as containing units, and the resulting question whether these are comparable or incomparable, is equally mistaken. The number 2 does not contain two numbers 1, for there is only one number 1. As against the mathematical or ‘intermediate ’ numbers believed in by the Platonists, Aristotle’s objection would have more force. There are no ‘mathematical numbers’ distinct on the one hand from the natural number, and on the other from the particular one-member groups, two-meimber groups, &c., which are the instances of the natural numbers. ‘The weakness of Aristotle’s position is that he believes in mathematical numbers, which do not exist, and does not believe in ideal or universal numbers, which do.

The Pythagoreans, like Speusippus, believed in mathematical number only; but they differed from him, as from all ra in holding numbers to be actually present in ‘things (cf. 237-" 4). Mr. Cornford holds, with much probability, that the Pythagorean doctrine here referred to is not the mystical system of Pythagoras but a scientific system of number-atomism which was developed in the fifth century and was the forerunner of Atomism proper.- He summarizes the main features of this system as follows: ‘(1) there is only one kind of number—namely, mathematical number. (2) This number does not exist separately, but sensible substances are composed of it . . (3) These numbers do not consist of abstract units, but the units are conceived as having spatial magnitude. (4) They are described as “indivisible magnitudes” (1083"13). (5) Things or bodies are identified with numbers composed of the indivisible magnitudes or monads (1083 12 sqq.). (6) The Pythagoreans regarded numbers as generated—the process of generation being, of course, identical with the physical generation of the sensible world (1091* 17 sqq-)’ (CZ. Quart. xvii. 8). Cf. N. 1092» 8-15 n. 19. Atv of povadixéy. The Platonists, like Aristotle, thought of numbers as composed of unextended units; the Pythagoreans thought of them as extended and having extended units. In other words they had not reached the notion of arithmetic as distinguished from geometry. Aristotle uses dpifpos dpiOuqrixos in the same sense as dppos povadixes (108316). Zeller thinks (i.° 483-488) that in stating the Pythagorean units to be extended Aristotle is drawing a mistaken inference from the Pythagorean view that bodies are com- posed of numbers; he admits, however, that the Pythagorean M. 6. 1080) 6-25 429 cosmology implies the treatment of numbers as spatial. But -at the time of the Pythagoreans the notion of non-corporeal reality did not exist, so that they necessarily thought of the units as extended. There is some ground for holding that they called them éyxo: (Burnet, E.G. P.§ 146). 20-21. Stas 5é. . . oixacw. Cf. N. 10912 15, where we learn that the Pythagoreans ‘say that when the One had been put together whether out of planes or out of surface or out of seed or out of they know not what, immediately the nearest part of the infinite began to be drawn and limited by the limit’. The general sense of the present passage is: ‘ The Pythagoreans construct the universe out of numbers having spatial units; but how the first unit was constructed as an extended thing they cannot tell’. ‘ They had not’, as Mr. Cornford observes (CZ. Quart. xvii. 9), ‘reached the position of fully developed atomism, which postulates an indefinite plurality of atoms or monads as an ultimate and eternal fact.’ ai. It is not easy to identify dAdos . . . 71s, who believed in ideal number only. Alexander’s suggestion that it was a Pythagorean can hardly be right, since Aristotle never ascribes the belief in Ideas to Pytha- goreans. It must be a Platonist, but further than this we cannot go. Elsewhere in enumerating the views held Aristotle omits this one (1076? 19-22, 10864 2-13, cf. 1080» 24-30). Jaeger would remove the difficulty by treating Go: as a variant for eivax and removing eivaz in |. 23 as a later-addition due to the intrusion of €or. But Alexander and Syrianus had our text; and it is not particularly surprising that Aristotle should mention here a view he does not mention elsewhere—a view which is almost certain to have been held by some Platonist. 22.

Just as Plato distinguished the Idea of ‘two’ from the many 2’s of which arithmetic speaks, he distinguished ‘the straight line itself’, ‘the triangle itself’, ‘the cube itself’, from the many straight lines, triangles, and cubes of which geometry speaks.

Examination of Plato's view (ch. 7-8. 1083* 20). 1080) 37. (A) We must first examine whether the units are com- parable, and if not, in which of the two senses they are not. 1081* 5. (1) If all are comparable and not different in kind, we get only mathematical number, and the Ideas cannot be the numbers thus produced (for there is but one Idea. of each thing, e.g. of man, while there is an indefinite number of similar numbers, e.g. threes ; 12. but if the Ideas are not numbers, they cannot exist (for the first principles are said to be first principles of number, and the Ideas cannot be classed as either prior or posterior to numbers). 17. (2) If all units are incomparable, (a) the number so produced is not mathematical number (which is composed of undifferentiated units). 21. Nor is it ideal number, for 2 will not be the first product of 1 and the indefinite dyad, and be followed by 3, 4, &c. (the units in 2 not being prior or posterior to one another), since if one unit is to be prior to the other, it will be prior to the 2 which they compose. 29. (4) The units will be prior to the numbers after which they are named, e. g. the third unit (the second in the number 2) will be prior to the number 3. M. 6. 1080 26-36 431 35. Though no one has supposed the units incomparable in this way, the view agrees sufficiently with the principles of these thinkers, If there is a first unit, there will be priority and posteriority among the units, and similarly among the twos; but though they recognize a first unit and a first two, they do not recognize a second or a third. bro. (c) If all the units are thus incomparable, there cannot be a ‘two itself’, a ‘three itself’, &c. For whether the units are different or not, the numbers must be generated by successive additions of 1; but if so, they are not generated as these thinkers say they are, from the One and the indefinite dyad. 18. For the number two is a part of the number three, and this of the number four, whereas they generate four from the number two and the indefinite dyad and make it consist of two twos other than the number two; 22. otherwise 4 will consist of the number 2 and another 2, and the number 2 will consist of the One itself and another 1, and if so, the element in 2 other than the One itself cannot be the indefinite dyad, since it produces one unit, not a definite 2. 27. (d) How can there be other twos besides the number 2? How can they be composed of prior and posterior units? These sup- positions are quite fictitious. But if the conclusions are absurd, the first principles must be wrong. 35. (3) If the units in different numbers are different but those in the same number not different, equal difficulties follow. 10821. (a) Since the ideal ten is no ordinary number and the fives in it no ordinary fives, the units in the one five must be different from those in the other; i.e. the theory inconsistently with itself implies that five of the units in ro are different from the other five. 7. If the units in ro differ, there must be other fives in 10 than those we have named, but if so, what sort of tens do they make? These thinkers recognize no other 10 in the number 1o. 11. They must, as we have assumed (I. 3) that they do, suppose the number 4 to be composed of no chance twos, for they say the indefinite dyad received the definite dyad and made two dyads. 15. (2) How can the number 2 be something apart from the two units? Either by participation of one in the other, as ‘white man’, which shares in ‘ white’ and in ‘man’, is apart from them, or by one part being a differentia of the other, as ‘man’ is apart from ‘animal’ and * two-footed ’. 20. (c) The units in 2 or in 3 cannot be one by contact, mixture, or position; there is nothing apart from the units any more than a pair of men is anything apart from the two men. The indivisibility 432 COMMENTARY of the units makes no difference; points are indivisible, but a pair of points is nothing apart from the single points. 26. (d) The theory implies that there will be prior and posterior twos, threes, &c. The twos in 4 are prior to those in 8, and generated the fours in 8 as 2 generated ¢hem, so that,since the 2 is an Idea, they also are Ideas. : 32. So too the units in 2 generate the units in 4, so that all the units are Ideas and an Idea is composed of Ideas, and therefore that of which the Idea is an Idea is similarly composite, e.g. animals are composed of animals. br, (ec) To make the units different in any way is absurd and artificial ; unit differs from unit neither in quantity nor in quality, and a number which is neither greater nor less than another must be equal to it and identical with it; if it is not, neither will the twos in 10 be without difference, as the theory supposes them to be. 11. (f) If one unit and another unit always make two, a unit in 2 and a unit in 3 will make a 2. Now (a) this will consist of units differing in kind; () will it be prior or posterior to the number 3? Presumably prior, since one of the units is simultaneous with 3 and the other with 2. 16. We say that one and one (e.g. good and evil) always make two; but ¢hey say that not even one unit and another unit always make a two. 19. (g) The number 3 must surely be greater than the number 2, but if so, it will contain a number equal to and without difference from the number 2; which it cannot, if there is priority and posteriority between any two numbers. 23. (#) On this view the Ideas cannot be numbers. ‘Those who say all units are different are right in supposing this to be implied in there being Ideas; for the Form is unique, but if units are without difference, the twos and the threes will be without difference too. 28. These thinkers are bound to say that in’counting ‘ one, two’ we do not add one to the original one; for then (a) generation would not be from the indefinite dyad, and (8) an Idea would not be pro- duced, since if it were it would contain another Idea, and all the Ideas would ultimately be parts of one Idea. 32. Thus what they say agrees with their hypothesis ; but it destroys many of the truths of mathematics. They will say that there is a difficulty in the question whether we count by successive additions of x or by constructing each number separately. But we do both; it is absurd to suppose a separate kind of number to which the latter process applies. ST. ALBERT’S COLLEGE LIBRAR M. 7. 10828— 8. 1083» 433 1083*1. (7) What is the differentia of a number, and of a unit, if a unit has any? Units must differ in respect either of quantity or of quality, but neither is possible. (a) If units differed in quantity, num- bers equal in number of units would differ from each other. Are the first units greater or less than the later? All this is absurd. 8. (8) They cannot differ in quality. They have no qualities, for in numbers quality depends on quantity. They cannot get quality either from the One, which has none, or from the indefinite dyad, which gives quantity. 14. If units differ in some other way, these thinkers ought to have said why this difference must exist, or at least what difference they mean. Thus if the Ideas are numbers, the units cannot be all com- parable, nor incomparable in either of the two ways. Examination of the views of other Platonists and of the Pythagoreans (ch. 8. 10832 20-» 23), 1083* 20. (Ba) The views of other thinkers are no better, viz. of those (Speusippus) who do not believe in Ideas but in mathematical objects, and make numbers the primary realities, and the One their first principle. 24. For it is paradoxical that there should be a first 1, but not a first 2, 3, &c. If only mathematical number exists, the One is not a first principle (for if it were, it would be different from other ones, and there must then be a two different from other twos); if the One is a first principle, the numbers must be such as Plato supposed them, i.e, incomparable. 35. If both Plato’s doctrine and that of Speusippus lead to impossible results, number cannot exist apart. by, (Cd) The worst view is that ideal number and mathematical are the same (Xenocrates). This view falsifies the nature of mathe- matical number, and involves further the difficulties incidental to the belief in ideal number. 8. (Bd) The Pythagorean view escapes some difficulties by not making number exist apart, but has peculiar difficulties arising from the supposition that bodies are composed of mathematical numbers. 13. For there are no indivisible magnitudes, or at any rate units have no magnitude, and therefore bodies cannot be composed of them, as the Pythagorean view implies. 19. Thus none of the ways of treating number as self-subsistent is satisfactory; therefore it is not self-subsistent. 2573-2 Ff 434 COMMENTARY Aristotle first (1080 37) discusses the theory of incomparable num- bers (which, we are told in 1083% 32, was the view of Plato).

So, too, in 10836 23-32, N. rogob 32— 1091%5 the great and small and the indefinite dyad seem to be both referred to Plato. Cf. Theophr. AZe/. 33, Hermodorus ap. Simpl. Phys. 244..30—248. 18, and Al., Simpl., Syr., Asc. passim. The reference of the indefinite dyad to Plato was doubted or denied by ‘Susemihl (Genet, Entwickl. ii. 532 ff.), Zeller in Plat. Stud. (222), Trendelenburg (De Jd. et Num. 48-51), Heinze (Xenocr. 16-15). ‘On the strength of two passages (which are inadequate for the purpose) Heinze maintains that the phrase originated with Xenocrates (Theophr. Met. 11, Plut. De An. Procr. ii. 1, 2, 1012 DE). Zeller later gave up his doubts, and there is no reason to distrust the evidence of Hermo- dorus, Alexander, &c. In N. 1089®% 35, though the expressions ‘ great and small’ and ‘indefinite dyad’ are distinguished, there is nothing to show that they were not used by the same thinkers to designate the same thing. And 1088» 28 does not tell us that ‘the indefinite dyad’ was a later phrase than ‘the unequal’, but merely that some thinkers (Xenocrates is probably included) retained the former, while discarding the latter because it made one of the first principles something merely relative. Zeller thinks that Plato described only the material principle of zdeal and mathematical numbers as the indefinite dyad. But the silence of MN{as§to the derivation of sensible things from it proves nothing, since these books are not concerned with the derivation of sensible M. 7. 10819 1-24 435 things. The PArlebus certainly describes the dzeipia as the material cause in all oteéa, without special reference to numbers (ravta ra viv évta év TH wavti 23.C 4). On the whole subject of the indefinite dyad cf. Robin 641-654. 15. at dpxat kat ta otorxeta = 7d ey Kal Svas 7% ddpiotos. The argument seems to be: ‘the only principles put forward by these thinkers are put forward as principles of number. If, then, they are also the principles of the Ideas, which they are clearly meant to be, the Ideas must be (1) identical with numbers, which we have shown they are not, or (2) prior or posterior to, causes or effects of, numbers, which they evidently cannot be, since they are composed of a different kind of units. Therefore the Ideas are left without any dpyai at all’. The order of the words is against Apelt’s proposal to interpret 1. 15 ‘and the principles (sc. of the Ideas) are said to be also the elements of number’, 17. Aristotle passes now to the view according to which even the units in one number are incomparable with one another. Considering that this view had found no supporter (1080 8, 1081 35), the space Aristotle devotes to it (10814 17— 33) is disproportionate. 21-29 is a difficult piece of argument. Alexander supposes I]. 21-23 to mean that if the units are incomparable each with each, the numerical series will be destroyed because the numbers will be all formed simultaneously (749. 19), and this view is adopted by Robin (note 285, iii). But this is contrary to Aristotle’s usage, according to which ‘incomparability’ implies the very opposite of simultaneity ; TO pev TpOTdv TL avrod Td 0 exouevov 1080®17 is synonymous with dovpBAnros ib. 19. Alexander, continuing to misunderstand the passage, thinks that Aristotle should have said (1. 23) 7 yap dua ai... povddes yevvvrat 7) ody dua. This means that Alexander is quite at sea. Bz, perceives the general nature of the argument as it stands in the received text, viz. that Aristotle offers two proofs to show that the supposition of units incomparable each with each is contrary to the Platonic view of ideal number as forming the series 1, 2, 3, 4, &c. (ll. 21-23), one proof being given in Il. 23-25, another in Il. 25-29 ; and that really what Aristotle professes to show (that ovx éorai 7 dvas tpatn) is proved only by the second proof. The argument can be made right by the alteration of one word—by reading ézeé for éreira in |. 25 (éxevra has probably come in through the influence of érera in |, 22). Then the argument runs thus: ‘For the two will on this hypothesis not proceed first from the one and the indefinite dyad, and then the other numbers, as the Platonists say “2, 3, 4””—for they generate the units in the first (i.e. the ideal) two simultaneously—since if the one unit in the two were prior to the other (as it must be, on the hypothesis of incomparability, cf. ro80 17, 19), it would be prior also to the two which is composed of them. Thus the order would be not, as they say, I, 2, 3, 4, but 1, first unit in 2, 2, second unit in 2, first unit in 3, &c.

The unequals are the great and the small (1083 23, N. rog1%24). Plato, according to Aristotle, represented the One as producing the units in 2 by equalizing the great and the small. But Aristotle speaks with some hesitation as to how this was done (1083 23-25). It is noteworthy that the material principle is never spoken of as ra dvuca but always as 76 avicov, and it seems probable that Plato did not think of two things, the great and the small, but of one thing, the great-and-small, i.e. indeterminate quantity, and that he represented this as simply being determined into the successive numbers by the operation of the One or formal principle.

It is doubtful whether Aristotle’s attack is quite fair. The Platonists spoke of the Ideal One as the first One not in the sense that it was the first member of a series of units, but in the sense that it was the principle of the whole class of units. The word ‘first’ is ill- chosen, since it seems to make the universal a member of the class which it constitutes; but there is not necessarily any serious confusion in the thought. 12-14. ‘Whether the units are without specific difference or not, number must be counted by addition’, i.e. each number must be arrived at by adding 1 to the previous number. This is a successful enough appeal to common sense, but is something of a petrtzo principir. The Platonists simply denied the premise that the numbers were reached by addition, and gave quite a different account of their generation. 17-19. ‘The numbers cannot be generated as they try to generate them, out of the indefinite dyad and the One; for three is generated not from the indefinite dyad and the One but from the number two and a unit.’ 21. aX’ does not, as Al. 753. 9 and Bz. suppose, introduce a possible objection to the previous argument. It points out the con- tradiction between the actual facts (Il. 18-20) and the Platonic account M. 7. 1081430 — 10827 II 437 (ll. 21, 22). Jaeger’s addition of «i is ingenious, but not strictly necessary. 22-26. ‘If the two 2’s in 4 are not distinct from the 2 itself, 4 will be composed of the 2 itself and another 2, and similarly 2 of the One itself and another one; so that the element other than the One itself will not be (as they said) the indefinite dyad, since the second element generates one unit (the second unit in the 2), not (as the indefinite dyad does) a definite dyad.’ According to the Platonic account (as represented by Aristotle) the indefinite dyad ‘received the definite dyad and made two — (1082* 13). 27-33. Aristotle passes here from particular arguments to a general protest against the absurdity of the position created by supposing all units, even those in the same number, to be incomparable. 30. dromd.

I.e., if each number is derived not (as common sense says) from the previous number by the addition of 1, but (as the Platonists say) from the One and the indefinite dyad, each number is as it were a special creation, differing in kind from all others, and thus we get an ideal two, an ideal three, &c. 1082? 1. otov ydp, ‘for, for example’. 2-4. What does Aristotle mean by saying that the ‘ 10 itself’ is not any chance number nor composed of any chance 5’s or units? The meaning Seems to be that, the ro itself being an ideal number, the numbers contained in it must be numbers of a special kind, viz. ideal numbers, just as the units in it are supposed by these thinkers to be of the special type described in 1081 35-37. Now two Ideas cannot be specifically the same; therefore the two 5’s in 10 differ specifically ; and therefore the units in them differ specifically; thus five of the units in 10 differ specifically from the other five, which is contrary to the hypothesis we are examining. ‘There seems to be no allusion to the presence of numbers other than 5 in ro (Al. 755. 12), nor to the specific difference between ro and the 5’s in it (Bz.). 7-11. In Il. 8, 9 (after ay), ro it is not clear (as Bz. thinks) that Alexander read écovrar; it seems better to keep the reading of all the good manuscripts, évécovrar, which Alexander may be merely misinter- preting. év 7 dexdév in |. 11 rather confirms évécovra, and quite a good interpretation may be given to the word. If the units in the 10 differ specifically, will there be no other 5’s in the ro than the two already mentioned? (1) We can hardly suppose that there are not. Aristotle does not say why, but the reason obviously is that if you take, say, three units from the first 5 and two units from the second, you will get a new 5 different from the original two. (2) If there are. these other 5’s in the 10, what sort of 10 will they constitute? Apparently another ro in the 1o itself, but the Platonists do not suppose that there is any such thing. 438 COMMENTARY 11-15. Aristotle now proceeds to confirm what he has already used as a premise (I. 3), viz. that the 10 itself is not composed of any chance 5’s, He infers the.mode of composition of the ro from the mode of composition of the 4. This, according to the Platonists, is not produced by successive additions of specifically like units, but by the action of the indefinite dyad, which received the definite dyad or ‘2 itself’ and made two dyads.

The argument in ll. 26-31 was directed to showing that some 2’s are prior to others. But in the course of the argument Aristotle showed that the 2’s in 4 discharge a function analogous to that of the ideal 2. He now draws another inference from this, viz. that there- fore they also must be Ideas. And so, too, will be the units in the ideal 2 which similarly (by co- operation with the indefinite dyad) pro- duce the units in 4. Thus the units in any number are Ideas.. Ideas will be composed of Ideas. The Idea of one animal will contain the M. 7. 10828 11 —1082 37 439 Ideas of other animals, and therefore one animal itself will contain other animals. Jaeger points out that E1JA» read idea: after duds in 1. 32 (he infers from Al, 758. 21 that Alexander also read id€a; but 758. 25 has idéa). He concludes that 4 zpury terpas has dropped out before kai 7 mporn duds. But the argument in Il. 28-32 is that the dyads in 4, since they generate the tetrads in 8 as the first dyad generates them, must be Ideas as much as the first dyad; a reference to the first tetrad would be out of place. id¢a: has come in because the eye of the writer of the archetype travelled on to idéa: later in the line.

Why then should the Platonists not say that it is prior? Aristotle does not say why, but no doubt he means that it will be awkward for them thus to put a number. between 2 and 3. 21-22.

Alexander’s commentary (762. 17—763. 3) may be sum- marized thus: ‘ The Platonists raise this difficulty, whether when we count “1, 2”’ we count by addition or by successive divisions of ro. They say we cannot do so in either way; not in the former because 440 COMMENTARY then we should be treating the units as comparable, and not in the latter because then we should make the Idea of 10 contain the Ideas of the smaller numbers. We must confine both addition and division to mathematical number, and recognize ideal. number as otherwise produced. But we actually count, says Aristotle, in both ways. If the number is definite, like 8, we divide it into its proper parts; if it is indefinite we add unit to unit till we reach the number we wish to determine. But what does he mean by indefinite number? Perhaps he’means that the numbers included in 20 are indefinite and of the nature-of matter relatively to 20. And so, he says, it is absurd on the strength of this superficial dzopia to say that each of the numbers is a separate Idea and substance’. Bz. seems right in supposing that Alexander -had before him words which do not exist in our text (cf. especially 762. 32 d\AG w&s aopicrov etre Tov dpiOuov;); and there are traces of something similar in Syr. As regards xara pepidas Alexander’s interpretation is probably guesswork. A better interpretation has been suggested by Apelt. He quotes, for the meaning of pepis, Plut. Quaest. Conv, il. 2.644 C Ta Sdypooa detrva pos pepida yiyverGa, which means ‘to be served separately by portions, so that each guest has his separate dish’. Aristotle’s point seems to be this: The Platonists deny many of the accepted truths of mathematics (for roAAa dvaipotow cf. 1086% 9). E.g. they think they will put us in a difficulty by asking us whether we count by addition or by separate portions, i.e. constructing each number independently. If we say ‘by addition’, they will answer ‘then you are not grasping the nature of abstract number’; if we say ‘by separate portions’, they will answer ‘then you are already admitting a number other than mathematical number’. But in fact we can regard the process in either way; it is absurd to rest the doctrine of two entirely different kinds of number on so superficial an dzropia. 10837 1-2.

Laert. iv, 2. 13. 8.

The argument is as follows: There are no indivisible magnitudes (proved in De Gen. et Corr. 315” 24—3177 17). Or at least units (numerical indivisibles) have not magnitude. And a magnitude cannot consist of indivisibles. But arithmetical number consists of units, which are indivisibles. Therefore real things, which are magnitudes, cannot consist of numbers. , But these thinkers apply arithmetical theorems directly to real things, and imply that real things consist of numbers.

If (6), then (a) the elements are not all present in everything ; (8) the units are not without difference in nature; (y) what of the odd unit in 3? Perhaps this is why they make the One itself occupy the middle place in odd numbers. 30. If (2), then (2) How will 2 be a single entity? How will it differ from a unit? (8) The unit is prior to the two and therefore must be an Idea of an Idea. And it must have been generated before the two. From what, then? Not from the indefinite dyad, for this makes not units but twos. (2) How many tdeal numbers are there P 36. Number must be either infinite or finite, if it is self-subsistent. But (a) it cannot be infinite. For (a) infinite number is neither odd nor even, but the generation of numbers whether by addition or by multiplication is always either of odd or of even numbers. 1084* 7.

(4) If number is finite, how far does the series go? They should tell us both how far it goes, and why it goes just so far. If it stops at 10, then (a) the Forms will soon run short. E.g. the kinds of animal will exceed the numbers up to ro. 18. (8) If the number 3 is the Idea of man, then all the other threes will be Ideas of man, or at any rate men ; thus there will be an infinite number of men. 21.

Further, they identify spatial magnitudes (lines, &c.) with numbers short of ro. (3) What ts the nature of the One? » 2g. If number is self-subsistent, is 1, or 2, 3, &c., prior? Inasmuch as the number is composite, the one is prior ; inasmuch as the universal or form is prior, the number is prior, being to the units as form to matter. 47. The right angle is in a sense prior to the acute, viz. in definition and because it is determinate ; the acute angle is in a sense prior, because it is a part of the right angle. The acute angle is prior as matter; the right angle which is the union of form and matter is prior because nearer to the form. 13. How, then, is the One a first principle? ‘ Because it is indivi- sible.’ But both the universal and the particular or element are indivisible. ‘They are first principles in different senses, however; the former is first in definition, the latter in time. : 18. They make the One a first principle in both ways. But this is impossible; it cannot have the primariness both of form and of ‘matter. Both the number and the unit are in a sense one, but if the number is actually one (not a mere aggregate), the units exist only potentially. . 23. The cause of the mistake is that they were inquiring from two points of view, that of mathematics and that of general definitions ; from the former they treated the One (i.e. the first principle) as a point, merely divested of position, a minimal material part analogous to the atoms, while from the latter they treated the unity which is predicated of each number as a formal element in the number. These characters, however, cannot belong to the same thing. 32. But if the One must only be without position, differing from the unit merely by being a first principle, and the number 2 is divisible while the unit is not, the unit is liker the One than the number 2 is, and therefore each unit in 2 is prior to 2. But they generate the number 2 first. 1085* 1. Further, if the number 2 is one thing and the number 3 is one thing, they make, together, a 2. What, then, is the origin of this 2? 3. Does the number 2, or one of the units in it, come next after 1? 444 COMMENTARY (4) Défficulties about the first principles of geometrical objects. 7. Similar difficulties arise about the genera posterior to number— the line, the plane, the solid.

There is a difference of opinion about the formal principle answering to the One. ‘14. These views involve many impossible results. (i) Lines, planes, and solids are cut off from one another, unless their first principles go together so that the broad and narrow is also long and short (in which case the plane would be a line and the solid a plane). 20. (ii) The same difficulty arises as with regard to number ; long, short, &c., are atirzbudes of spatial magnitude, not the ma/ter of it, any more than straight and curved are. (23. We may put the same difficulty that arises with regard to species when we posit the existence of universals, viz. whether it is ‘animal’ itself or some other ‘animal’ that is present in a particular kind of animal. Similarly if the One and the numbers are self- subsistent, is the unit which we recognize in a number the One itself ?) gi. (4) Others derive magnitudes from the point (which is akin to the One) and an element akin to plurality. The same difficulties follow. 35. For (i) if the matter is-one, line, plane, and solid will be the same ; (ii) if it is different, the matters either go together or not, so that the plane either will not contain a line or will be a line. (5) Lhe difficulty of generating numbers and spatial magnitudes ~ as the Platonists generate them. b4. The difficulties which attend the great and small as material principles of number, attend plurality also if this be taken as the. material principle (Speusippus). One thinker generates number from the plurality which is universally predicated, the other generates it from a particular plurality, viz. the first (the dyad). (@) In both cases we may ask whether the elements are united by mixture, position, fusion, generation, &c. 12. (4) Each unit must be composed of the One and either plurality or a part of plurality. Now the unit, being indivisible, cannot be a plurality, while if its material element be a part of plurality, (a) each of the parts must be indivisible, and it is not, as they say, plurality, but M. 8. 1083) 23 445 a part of it, that is the material principle ; (8) number is being derived from a plurality of indivisibles, i.e. from another number. 23. (c) We may inquire with regard to these thinkers too, whether that number is infinite or finite. There was a finite plurality from which the finite units were derived, and there is another ‘ plurality itself’ which is infinite plurality. Which kind. of plurality is the first principle? 27. (d) Similarly (cf. * 32-34) a point cannot be derived from the ‘point itself’ and an interval, nor from the ‘ point itself’ and an indi- visible part of an interval ; for spatial magnitudes are not, like number, composed of indivisibles. SUMMING UP OF CRITICISM OF IDEAL NUMBERS ° (ch. 9. 1085 3410868 18). 1085” 34. These objections show that number and spatial magni- tudes are not self-subsistent, as is shown also by the diversity of views about numbers, (1) Those who believed only in the objects of mathe- matics (Speusippus) did so because they saw the difficulties about the Ideas. 1086? 5. (2) Those who thought of the Ideas as numbers, and did not see how, if the first principles are what they suppose them to be, mathematical number could exist apart from ideal number (Xeno- crates), made them the same in name, but really did away with mathematical number. 11. (3) The first thinker who held that Forms existed and were numbers, and that mathematical objects existed (Plato), naturally separated them. 13. All are partly right and (as their mutual contradictions show) partly wrong. Their error springs from the wrongness of their assumptions. 1083” 23—1085? 34. So far Aristotle has distinguished the various modes of conceiving numbers as substantial entities, and has criticized them separately. Now he attacks the general view which was common to the Pythagoreans and the Platonists, no longer drawing the distinc- tions drawn in 1080 15—1083? 19. His criticisms from now onwards may best be classified not according to the thinkers attacked but according to the subjects on which he attacks the whole of the two schools. These fall, as Bz. has pointed out, into five groups. (1) 1083>23-36. How are the numbers produced from the material principle ? (2) 1083” 36—1084" 2. How many ideal numbers are there ? 446 COMMENTARY (3) 1084 2—-10852 7. What is the nature of the One? (4) 1085° 7—- 4. On the principles of geometrical objects. (5) 1085» 4-34. On the difficulty of generating numbers from unity and multitude, and spatial magnitudes from similar principles. 23. Aristotle begins with a difficulty arising out of Plato’s (cf. 1081 24) description of the units in the ideal two as produced through the equalization of the great and small by the One. Aristotle appears, as Bz. points out, to have misconceived the nature of the Platonic material principle. It was no doubt conceived as a principle which was both great and small; i.e., it was indeterminate quantity. But Aristotle habitually speaks of the great and /he small as if they were two distinct principles, and his argument here turns entirely on this point. We may note a significant looseness in Aristotle’s way of referring to the principle. Sometimes (and, we must suppose, more correctly) it is 7d peya Kal puxpor, e.g. B. 998 10, M. 1083> 32, 10852 12, N. 1087» 8. At other times it is 76 peya Kal 76 palkpor, @.g. A. 987» 20, 988 26, M. 1083? 27, 10852 9, N. 1087 11, 14, 16, and this is what the argument here requires. 28-30. ‘ Further, what account can the Platonists give of the units in the ideal Three? One of them is an odd unit and cannot be assigned to the great or to the small (since these produce only one unit each); which is perhaps why they make the ideal One the middle unit in odd numbers.’ For the fact that they did so cf. Diels, Vorsokr.’ 270. 18. And why should they not? we might ask. Aristotle’s answer would doubtless be that if they make the One a purely formative principle in the case of even numbers, they have no right to make it one of the material elements of odd numbers. We can hardly suppose, however, that they did this ; it is more likely that they represented the One as a sort of arbiter (cf. Al. 767. 17 tv THs povddos peciteiav) between the tendencies to excess and to defect. 30-32. ‘If each of the units in the ideal Two comes from both the great and the small, these being equalized, how will the ideal Two be a single entity composed of the great and the small? Or how will it differ from one of its units?’, sc. if each of the units turns out to be what they describe the ideal Two as being, viz. what is produced by the co-operation of the One and _ the-great-and-the-small (which dvorows jv |. 36). 36. ddpiotos Suds. Robin quotes this as one of the few passages definitely relating to Plato in which this term is used. The other passages he cites are N. 1088815, 10915, besides various places in later writers (Robin, 643-5). 37. xwptotov yap morodor. Aristotle holds that if you regard number as a separately existing substance, you have to say that it actually is finite or that it actually is infinite, and both alternatives are impossible ; he believes himself to escape the difficulty by holding that number does not exist as something given for all time, but only in the process of counting, and that it is potentially infinite in the sense that, however high a number has been counted, a higher can be counted.

The peculiar words wimrew, éumirrew (not elsewhere found in Aristotle, nor, perhaps, in other authors, in this connexion) are probably Academic terms to express the mode of generation of numbers. ‘There are three cases: (1) By addition (dt pev) of 1 to an even number an odd number is produced. (2) By multiplication (dt dé) (z) of 1 by 2 a power of 2 is pro- duced, (4) of an even number by an odd number, an even number not a power of 2 is produced. eis TO ev is apparently to be supplied with éuaurrovays, being under- stood from 6 ad’ évos durdAacalopevos, while with di 8& rév wepurrav we must supply in thought the eis tov dptiov of ll. 4,5. The main opposition is that between generation of numbers by addition and by multiplication, the latter being subdivided. Accordingly Aristotle says Gd d€ THS ev Svados, Meaning to continue with ray dé repirtav. But by an oversight he continues with wot d¢ tév qwepittav. Alexander offers a more elaborate classification, which doubtless preserves some real information about the Pythagorean and Platonic arithmetic (cf. Heath, Gk. Math. i. 71-74). According to him every genesis of number is (1) dpridkis dpa (powers of 2, = (2 a) above), or (2) dpriomépiacos (products of an odd number and 2), or (3) mepuroaprios (products of an odd number and 4 or a higher power of 2), or (4) apy kal dovvberos (prime numbers), or (5) Sevrépa kat avvOeros (composite odd numbers), or (6) kal?’ éavrnv pev devrépa Kat ovvOeros mpos adAov 8é ‘pity Ka dovvOeros (pairs of composite numbers which are prime to one another). ; Alexander supposes that (1), (2 2), and (2 2) of Aristotle’s classifica- tion are identical with (4), (1), and (2) of his own, and that Aristotle omits the rest dia Bpaxvdoyiay (769. 21). But it is evident that a com- plete classification is necessary to Aristotle’s purpose. Aristotle’s (1) includes Alexander’s (4) and (5); his (2 4) includes Alexander’s (2) and (3); and Alexander’s (6) has no proper place in the classification, since it depends on a relation between two numbers, not on a quality of one. - Q. ote Kata tiv Odow évBdxeTat, i.e. it is incompatible with the notion of the Idea as a principle of limit; ote kata Aédyoy, i. e. it is unreasonable in itself, since it implies the existence of an actual infinite. 10, tdtrovci y oltw tds iS€as. The manuscript reading (rérrovor 5 otrw ras ideas) can hardly mean, as Alexander supposes, ‘ but they 448 COMMENTARY limit the series of ideal numbers to 10’. Since this is not mentioned till 1. 12, it cannot be what otrw means here.

The origin of the view is of course to be found in the fact that the Greeks used a decimal system and in the reverence paid by the Pythagoreans to the number 10; cf. A. 986*8 and Philolaus fr. rr Diels. to was the sum of the first four numbers, the terpaxtvs, Which had a special significance because they were the principles of the point, the straight line, the triangle, and the tetra- hedron respectively. 15. Bz. (dnd. Ar. 12575) takes aité as predicate ; ‘each number up to 10 is a thing-itself (an Idea)’; cf. Zop. 162° 28. It seems better to take aird Exaoros dpiOds together = 6 cidytixds apiOuds, as Alexander does (770. 23), and péxps dexddos as predicate. atrd éxacros apiOpds = ‘the series of numbers which are the several things-themselves (the Ideas of the several things)’.

But on this view what is the point of dAX’ pus (1. 17)? That suggests that in spite of there being a /arge variety of numbers to choose the Ideas of different kinds of animals from, there would not be enough. Now the notion of numbers contained in other numbers is clearly in Aristotle’s mind (cf. Il. 18, 19 and notes) and is expressed similarly by év. May it not be that Aristotle uses év rovrous in a double sense? ‘The Idea of horse © must be one of the numbers contained in these, i.e. either one of the numbers between 1 and ro, or one of the numbers contained in those between 1 and 10,’ 18-21. There is little to be said for Christ’s transposition of this section to]. 25. ovrws refers quite as naturally to |. 14 as it would to 1. 22 (6 ek rév ovpBAyrov povddurv). 18. at adda tpiddes. Alexander explains this (770. 30) as ai tpuades THs avtoeEddos Kal trav NowrHv, and similarly Bz. thinks the 3’s included in the other ideal numbers (cf. 10824 2, 28, » 13) are meant. Against this Robin argues (p. 351, n. 7) that on the view here criticized the ideal numbers are limited to ten, and the ‘ other 3’s’ in these will be only 14 in number (1 in 4, 1 in 5, 2 in 6, 2 in 7, 2 in 8, 3 ing, 3 in 10), so that the conclusion depo. éoovrar avOpwrot (1. 20) will not follow. He therefore supposes Aristotle to be now taking account of mathematical numbers, which are not limited to 10, and saying that M. 8. 10842 12-30 449 each 3 contained in them, since it is like the ideal 3, will be some sort -of a man, even if not an ideal man. We may either suppose this, or suppose Aristotle to be taking account of a further complication within the series of the ideal numbers. Besides the 14 3’s of which Robin takes account, there will be the 3 which is in the 4 which is in the 5, the 3 in the 4 which is in the 6, the 3 in the 5 which is in the 6, the 3 in the 4 in the 5 in the 6, &c. A list which may fairly be called dreipov is thus produced. IQ. oporar yap at év toils adtois dpiOpots. Bz. supposes idéar to be the noun implied by ai, and takes the phrase to mean ‘the Ideas con- sisting in identical numbers’. But zpuddes is the only word that can be supplied ; and further Bz.’s interpretation assumes that the dAdo tpuddes are Ideas, which Aristotle expressly leaves uncertain (Il. 20, 21). It seems better to suppose, with Robin (p. 352), that Aristotle means that the 3 which is in the 4 itself is like the 3 which is in the 4 which is in the 6, and the 3 which is in the 6 itself is like the 3 which is in the 6 which is in the 7 itself, and so on. Yet even this interpreta- tion is not quite satisfactory, since to justify ai dAAa (ad/ the other) tpiddes Aristotle ought also to mean that the 3 in the 4 itself is like the 3 in the 6 itself. But probably Aristotle overlooked this point. 20-21. ‘Ifeach 3 is an Idea, each of the numbers will be Man Him- self.’ 25. The assignment of numbers to the different Ideas by Aristotle is arbitrary ; itis quite unnecessary to read tpids for duds with Christ to bring the sentence into conformity with Jl. 14, 18. 27-29. Bz. thinks this is an interpolation, belonging to the criticism not of ideal numbers but of Ideas in general (cf. 1080%2-8). The passage is, however, interpreted by Alexander and Syrianus without any suspicion of its spuriousness, and it seems quite possible to connect it with what precedes, if we interpret «id as meaning ideal numbers, which in view of the repeated identification of Ideas with numbers we are entitled to do. Aristotle has just referred (il. 25-27) to the arbitrary assertion of the existence of Ideas of numbers up to ro, and the arbitrary denial of their existence beyond that point. Here he points to a similarly arbitrary distinction. ‘Forms are introduced to explain being and becoming.” Yet some things (negations 10794 9, relations 1079° 12, manufactured objects 1080 5) are and become with- out being supposed to have Forms answering tothem. Why have they not Forms? ‘The fact that the Platonists can dispense with Forms in these cases shows that Forms are not the causes of being and becoming.’ 30. padddv tr ov. It seems pretty clear that Alexander and Syrianus had the same reading as our manuscripts. Alexander interprets it as meaning kal radra 70 ev Kar’ avrovs paAdév Tu ov KTA.; SO also Syrianus (Alexander may have read in the next clause xa/ for kairo). Bz.’s proposal to read «i 6 dpuOpos prexpr THs Sexddos, parAdv Te dv Td Ev Kal eldos xtA. has not the authority of the Greek commentators; and the accusative absolute is not probable. The interpretations of Alexa: and Syrianus do not commend themselves. According to Alexande 2573-2 Gre: 450 COMMENTARY argument is: ‘If the One is both the Form of the ro and ungenerated, while the ro has come into being, there will be an 11 whose Form is the One and whose matter'is the decad’, According to Syrianus the One in question is the One which is the formal principle of number, and what it is in relation to all the numbers, the ideal ro is in relation to the other tens, the hundreds, and the thousands, for which reason it was called Sevrepwdovpéva povas. The meaning seems to be: ‘Further, it is paradoxical if the number series up to ro is more of an entity and a Form than the ro itself; to this we may object that there is no generation of the series as a unity, while there is of the 10. Yet they try to speak as if the number series up to 10 were complete’, Certain Platonists may have said something (we do not know what) to justify Aristotle in describing them as holding the series up to ro to be more of an entity than the 10 itself; once grant this and Aristotle’s objection becomes plain. He objects that, as the Platonic theory only describes the origin of the numbers severally and not of the series ws évds, the series cannot form a true entity or Form. 32. Ta émdpeva, ‘the derivative entities’. 33. To kevov kT. Alexander explains that the space between the even numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, or again between the odd numbers 3, 5, 7, 9 was the Idea or pattern of the void (this may be an inference from Phys. 213° 24 70 yap kevov duopilew thy piow airar, sc. Tov apiOpar, but it is of the Pythagoreans that Aristotle says this); that ‘2, 4, (6), 8’ was the pattern of arithmetical and ‘2, 3, 6, 9’ the pattern of geometrical proportion; that the number 1 was the Idea of oddness ; while movement and good were derived from the One, rest and evil from the indefinite dyad. Thus he takes ra dAAa (1. 35) to refer to ro Kevov, THY dvaoylav, TO mepitTov, TA GAAa Ta ToLadTa. On the other hand Theophrastus (JZef, 312. 18—313. 3 Br. = fr. xii. 11 fin., 12 Wimm.) says that the Platonists derived place, she vord, the infinite from the indefinite dyad, and certain other things, e.g. soul, from the numbers and the One. Robin accordingly (p. 317) takes 70 Kevov, dvadoyia, To mepitrév, as well as xivyows, ordows, dyabdv, Kakov to have been derived from the dpyai (the One and the indefinite dyad), and thinks that 7a dAAa (1. 35) is left here without illustration but means what Theophrastus describes as yy) kal GAN drra. With Theophrastus’ statement that the void was derived from the indefinite dyad cf. Phys. 209> 11 IAdrov tiv vAnv kal thy xdpav taiTd dyow etva. Zhe odd is actually described in 1. 36 as identified by the Platonists with one of the dpyai, the One, In this the Platonists followed the Pythagoreans, who described the formal principle indifferently as the limit and the odd. The best explanation of the reference to proportion is furnished by Syrianus, who points out that instances of all the three fundamental évaAoyia. ean be found without going beyond the number ro: arithmetical dvaAoyia, e.g. 1, 2, 33 geometrical, e.g. 1, 2,4; harmonic, e.g. 2, 3, 6. For the derivation of movement from the indefinite dyad cf. K. 1066 11, where we are told that some thinkers describe movement as érepéryra Kal dvicdryta Kal Td M. 8. 10842 32 — 1084> 7 451 pa ov (which = 70. péya Kal 7d puxpov Phys. 1927), and A. 992? 7. Eudemus also says that Plato identified movement with the great and small (ap. Simpl. PAys. 431. 6, 13, p. 41. 18, 42. 8 Spengel). For the reference of good and evel to the One and the indefinite dyad respectively cf. A. 9884 14. 36-37. ‘ And so they identify the odd with the One (a principle, not a number); for if oddness had depended on the first odd numéer, how would 5 (which according to the theory has not the ideal 3 in it) be odd?’ To say that the number 3 is the principle of oddness would imply deriving 5 from the union of 2 and 3, whereas according to the Platonic view itis otherwise derived. The force of 80 seems to be this: The Platonists derived all derivative entities either from the first principles or from the numbers up to 10. Now oddness could not be derived from a number such as 3, because this would not explain the oddness of any other number (the numbers being supposed independent of each other) ; sherefore it had to be derived from one of the principles, and of the two the One rather than the indefinite dyad was indicated for the purpose. For the force of év rq rpiads cf. Eucken, Sprachgebrauch d. Ar. pie2as 37-b 2. éru... SexdSos, ‘ Further, magnitudes and the like extend, they say, only up to a certain point, e.g. there is the first or indivi- sible line, then the two, &c.; these entities also extend only up to ro.’ Aristotle is giving a further ground for his statement that the Pla- tonists treat 10 as the perfect or complete number (I. 31). They recognize first the primary or indivisible line (their substitute for the ‘point’ of geometrical theory, A. 992% 22). mpdérn ypappi) dropos is difficult, and it seems best to read 4} rpérn ypayyn, 4 dropos.

I know of no exact parallel to zpwry ypaypy in this sense, but in A. 9924 21 the indivisible line is called dpy% ypappys, and 4 te dpxi mpGrov Kal 70 mpa@tov dpyyn, Top, 121? 9. Certain Platonists (A. 992°21, De An. 404» 16-24 suggest that Plato himself was among them, while a comparison with N. 1090 20- 32 suggests that Xenocrates also is referred to) connected the point or indivisible line with the number 1, the line with 2, the plane with 3, the solid with 4 (N. rogob22, Z. 1036514, H. 1043%33); and I+24+3+4= Io. b 4-13. The discussion whether the One or number is prior may be compared with the discussion in Z. 10, 11, where the same illustration (the right and acute angles) is used (1034> 28, 10356, 1036% 14). The present passage seems to be written without any reference to the previous one. 7. 6. dprotar Kat TO Adyw. Two reasons for the priority of the right angle are given, (1) that it is definite, while the acute angle may be of any size between 0° and 90°, and (2) that it is involved in the Gea 452 COMMENTARY definition of the acute angle while the acute angle is not involved in zs definition. 12, 76 dpe, i.e. what is elsewhere called 76 é& doty (A. 1071" 9), or 76 ovvdpdw (H. 1043%22). 6 dpiOuds, which is here treated as a compound of form and matter, was in 1. 6 described as form. 14-15. The list of three things that are indivisible—the universal, the particular (for the meaning of 76 ért pépous cf. Meteor. 359” 30, lV. E. 11074 30), and the element—is somewhat embarrassing, since in the passage as a whole only two things are opposed to each other (e. g. 7d pev 15, 76 5€ 16, worépws 16). Alexander seems not to have read kat 7d oroxetov, but it is 7d emt pépovs that could be best dis- pensed with, since it is the opposition of universal or form to element, not to particular, that is insisted on through the greater part of the passage (cf. ll. 4, 5; 19, 20). At one point, indeed (Il. 9-12), the opposition of number to one is seen to be more truly that of whole to element ; and the whole (76 ddov To ek THs TAns Kal Tod eidovs) = the particular (76 éwt pépovs) ; but for the most part number is treated as a universal. In fact the relations of whole and part, and of universal and particular, are not kept sufficiently distinct. The difficulty may be escaped in various ways. (1) We might read 7a dé in 1. 16 and take it to refer to both the particular and the element, 7d pev referring to the universal. (2) We might suppose ro émt yr€povs to be added for the sake of completeness though it does not enter into the argument and is forthwith ignored. (3) We might suppose that kat 7d wrorxetov is explicative of 7d ét pepovs. The mention of 70 KaOdAov, we may suppose, led Aristotle to its natural opposite 7d él yépovs, which elsewhere means the particular, but, the relations of whole and part and of universal and particular being here confused, Aristotle uses 76 éi pepovs in the sense of ‘part’ and explains his usage by adding kai 76 orouyetov. This use of ért pépovs would be to some extent in line with the uses of xara pépos, ava pépos, Tapa pepos, év pépe quoted in Znd. Ar. 455” 3~23.—Of these possibilities the last is, in view of the dichotomy which pervades the passage, the most probable. 15-16. ddXG tpdtrov Gov kth, An opposition of ‘indivisible in Aéyos’ and ‘indivisible in time’ would be quite unparalleled in Aristotle, and no reasonable meaning can be attached to it. Alexander explains that the universal is indivisible in Adyos because ‘ footed two-footed animal’ is not divisible into other Adyou and eidy as ‘animal’ is into ‘man’ and ‘horse ’—which is evidently nonsense ; and that the particular is indivisible in time because my form is not prior in time to me— which, besides interpreting 76 émi pépovs in a sense which we have seen reason to doubt, is a very unnatural interpretation of ‘indivisible in time’. Nor does any better interpretation of this last phrase seem possible. We are driven, then, to suppose that rpomov dAXov KTAi does not qualify ‘indivisible’. Ifwith Bekker we read a full stop before dAAd, we may take tpdrov addAov as qualifying dpyy. ‘The One is M. 8. 1084» 12-32 "453 said to be dpxy because it is indivisible. But the universal as well as the element is indivisible. Yes, but their consequent primariness is of different kinds.’ We thus get the ordinary opposition of zpdérepov Aoyw and xpovw, for which cf. ll. 12, 13, Z. 1028%32, 1038 27, @. 1049 11, Phys. 265% 22. Accordingly in]. 16 Aristotle asks not ‘in which sense is the One indivisible?’ but ‘in which sense is the One apxn Le 18. Kat ckatépa, pia may mean (1), as Alexander says, ‘ and each of these is one and the same with itself’. I.e. these words may simply emphasize the fact that one single thing may be in one sense prior, in another posterior, to another single thing. But it seems more likely (2) that these words fit into the argument as follows: In which sense is the One dpxyn? The right angle is prior to the acute angle, and in another sense the acute angle is prior to the right angle, and each of these is one (s¢.the acute angle is one as an element is one, and the right angle is one as a whole—here confused with a universal—is one). |The Platonists accordingly (84) make the One primary in both senses, in time and in Aéyos. But this is impossible ; for ‘One’ is here used ambiguously— it is what is one, as a form or essence (= universal) is one, that is primary xara Adyov, but it is what is one as a part, or as matter, that is primary kata xpovov. 20-24. éott ydp mws ktd. ‘For each of the two (the unit and the number) is one in a certain sense—in /rwth, if the number is not a mere aggregate but a unity consisting of units qualitatively distinct from those of any other number’ (cf. 10808 15-35), ‘each of its two units exists’ (and is one) ‘only potentially, not actually’ (while the number exists, and is one, actually). ‘This isthe truth, and the cause of the error into which the Platonists fell is that’ &c. 22.

Thus the two clauses have not any such connexion as ydp indicates, and can hardly be right as they stand. Alexander feels no difficulty, but gives an impossible interpretation; and Bz’.s interpretation, which takes aerov as if it could mean dpyixdy, does nothing to meet the difficulty. The proposed emendations of dOerov (ddvaiperov Schwegler, dovvOerov Bywater) would give a satisfactory sense if it were not for pdvov, but in the presence of povov are unsatisfactory. Two suggestions may be made. (tr) It is just possible that a@eroy may be used in a new sense. Each unit has, on the Platonic view, a setting or Oéc1s in some parti- cular number ; all that distinguishes the One which is the formal prin- ciple of number is that it has no such particular setting, that it is aerov. It would not be unlike Aristotle to use dOeros thus in a different sense from that which it bore in l. 27, but the suggested use of d@eros is apparently without parallel. (2) We might suppose povaducoy to have been corrupted into pdvoy ddiov, and this to have been altered through a reminiscence of ]. 27 into povoy aberov. 33-34.

It is simply this: If one thing added to another always makes a two, the two itself and the three itself make a two, and a two of whose generation the Platonists can give no account. They cannot derive it from the One and the indefinite dyad, since what these originate is the two itself, the three itself, and so on. 3. ab pev odk oti, cf. 10822 20, Phys. 227220.

The objection to (1) is that then there is a two (composed of the number one + one of the units in two) before there is the number two itself (cf. 10818 32). The objection to (2) is that the first unit in two, being prior to the second unit, should be prior to the two composed of them (10818 25~27), 7. tav botepov yevav Tod dpOyod, ‘the kinds posterior to number’.

The Platonic opinions mentioned regarding the material principle of spatial magni- tudes are (1) That it is the various kinds of the great and the small (108529, A. 992%11, N. 1090537). Some, if we may believe Aristotle, did not distinguish the great and the small which is the material principle of number from that which is the material principle of spatial magnitudes (B. roo1» 19). Al. 228. 10, Asc. 207. 37, Syr. 48. 20 think Plato himself is here referred to, and this may well be so. Others divided the great and small into the many and few, which is the épy7 of number, and the long and short, the broad and narrow, the deep and shallow, which are the dpxaé of spatial magnitudes (N. 1089? 11). (2) That it is something analogous to 7A7Gos, i.e. something which is to spatial magnitudes what multitude is to numbers (10854 33). wAnGos is mentioned in various places as the material principle of number according to some Platonists ( 5, N. 10876, 27, 1091 31, 10928 28, 35). A comparison of 1091) 30-35 with 10914 29-» 3, and with A. 1072 30 (where he is mentioned by name), makes it pretty certain that Speusippus is the thinker referred to. Cf. Al. 823. 12. Plut. De An. Procr.ii, 1, 2. 1012 DE, ascribes the view to Xenocrates, but his testimony is of less worth. 13-14. ‘As regards the principle in such objects which answers to the One (i.e. which is for geometrical objects what the One is for numbers), different thinkers hold different views.’ Al. 777. 17 distinguishes two views. (1) Some thought that the ideal numbers were the forms of geometrical objects—two the form of the line, three of the plane, four of the solid. (2) Others thought that the One was their form. Both views are suggested in B. roo1? 24. (1) This view is mentioned in N. 1ogo} 22, Z. 103613. It may be that the holder of this view was Xenocrates, for in Z. 1028» 24, after saying that Speusippus severed the various classes of being from each other, Aristotle continues with the words évou dé ra pev td Kat rovs dpOpors Tiv aitny exew dact pic (this shows that Xenocrates is 456 COMMENTARY in question, cf.

The view of Zeller (ii. 1.4 949, n. 2) that Plato was the holder of this view seems less probable. “Al. 777. 16, Syr. 154.9 refer the view to Plato, but we have seen reason to believe that they knew little about early Platonism. Cf, Robin, pp. 295-298. We have no further information about view (2), but (3) a third view is expressed in |. 32, the view that the formal principle was the point, considered as analogous to the One. Cf. 27. The persons who held this view are identified by Aristotle with those who took the material principle to be otoy wAOos, and we saw (l. 9 n.) that Speusippus is meant. It could not be either Plato or Xenocrates that is referred to, for they did not believe in points (for Plato cf A. 992 20). 16. dmohedupéva te is caught up by rairé re |. 20. The argument in ll, 16-20 may be put thus: If long and short, broad and narrow, deep and shallow are the characteristics of the lines, the planes, the solids respectively, either (1) what is broad or narrow is not long or short, so that lines and planes are quite cut off from each other, or (2) it is, in which case the plane is a line. 19-20. The point of ém 8é. .. dmod00jcetar; seems to be: ‘ How will they describe the principles of excess and defect which are to angles and figures what the long and short is to the line, the broad and narrow to the plane, &c. ?’ 20. tadtd te cupPaiver tots mept Tov dpiOudy, sc. cvuPaivovow, Long and short, &c., are, as much as straight and curved, attributes (to be exact, they are properties, which are xa atrd in the latter of the senses stated in Am.

I believe that 07 has its ordinary meaning and that the argument runs thus : ‘A question which can be applied to all these Platonic beliefs is that which must be faced in the case of species of a genus, when one posits the existence of universals, viz. whether it is ‘animal’ itself that is present in the particular species of animal, or an ‘ animal’ distinct from ‘animal’ itself. If we do not assign separate existence to the M. 9. 10852 16 — 1085) 22 457 universal there is no difficulty; if we do assign separate existence to the One and the numbers, the question is difficult, not to say impossible.’ 26. % Erepov atrod tuou.

Christ’s conjecture airaé is nearer to the manuscripts, but the crasis does not appear to be used by Aristotle. The passage suggests 10822 20, but the point is not the same. There the question was, How are the units combined into numbers? here it is, How are the formal and the material principle combined? On pigs and Oécis cf. 1082420. «pao is a kind of pigis (Zop. 122>26)—the kind that belongs to fluids; though sometimes the words are used interchangeably (Po/. 126218). Cf. Al. De Mist. xili. 228. 7, 25 Br. 18-22, From the supposition that each unit is derived from the One and a part of plurality, three difficulties might seem to be deduced : (1) each of the parts of plurality must be indivisible, so that a divisible is composed of indivisibles (which is absurd),—unless we are to make the part of plurality itself a plurality and the unit divisible (which is equally absurd); (2) the elements will be not the One and plurality but the One and a part of plurality; (3) this plurality of indivisible parts which is supposed to be an element of number will be itselfa number. But there is a difficulty in this interpretation. In 1. 33 number is said to be composed of indivisible parts. That each of the parts of plurality should be indivisible (1. 18) is, then, in itself no difficulty. d8vatperov (1. 18) . . . dvarperqv (I. 19) is not a complete 458 COMMENTARY objection ; the following words cai. . . évés must go withit. The first objection then is that each of the parts of plurality will be indivisible, and thus the material principle will not be +AOos at all; and there are only two objections, not three. re, then, in 1 18 is caught up not by xaé in |. 19 but by éru in |. 21. : In all this, Bz. remarks, Aristotle ignores the facts (1) that Plato probably did not think of number as containing units at all, (2) that he meant by the material principle of number something which was a mere potentiality and could not be charged with being an actual number. But as regards the first point, we must remember that Aristotle is here attacking not Plato but Speusippus (cf. 1. 5 n.), who did not believe in ideal but only in ordinary mathematical number (cf. 1076® 20-21 n.), and is therefore more open to Aristotle’s attack. 22.

A similar question has already (1083> 36) been asked regarding the theory which derived number from the One and the indefinite dyad; Aristotle is now considering the theory which derives number from the One and rA7j@o0s. But it is not quite the same question that is asked. In 1083 36 the question was, Is number finite or infinite? Here the question is, Is the number which we have shown the original rA7#60s to be (1. 22) finite or infinite? That this is what Aristotle is asking is shown by |. 26 zotov ovv tAROos oTorxeiov. tept tods otw Néyovtas. The manuscripts read apa xrA., and Bz, Ind.

Alexander seems not to have had the pre- position, and to have taken rots ovrw A€yovras as object of Cyryréov ; but this is not an Aristotelian construction. 24. xa, at first sight difficult, may be explained by the following para- phrase: ‘Since the units produced from the 7AjOos and the One were finite, the ThIGos also must have been finite ’. 26. €or. te . . . daeipov. Alexander explains ‘and plurality is different from infinite plurality’. (Though he does not use the word air, it would not be safe to infer with Christ that he did not read it.) So too Bz. The only objection to this interpretation is that if we adopt it, Il. 24-26 give no reason at all why the original plurality should not have been finite. But Aristotle evidently thinks that he is putting Speusippus into a difficulty. Perhaps, then, we should in- terpret the whole passage thus: ‘ There was, according to Speusippus, a finite plurality from which and the One the units were derived. And there is another plurality which is “ plurality itself’ and infinite plurality. Which sort of plurality, then, is the material principle in number ?’ 27-34. Aristotle now passes from the views of Speusippus about the derivation of numbers to his views about the derivation of spatial magnitudes (stated in 432-34). The objections stated here to the M. 9. 1085 22 — 10868 12 459 derivation of points are clearly akin to those raised against the deriva- tion of units in Il. 12-21.

A comparison with 10814 12-17, N. 1090” 36 shows the point to be that if the One and the great-and-small are taken as the first principles, it is hard to deduce do/h the Ideas and mathematical numbers from them. If tavtas be kept, the reference is to the discussion of the One and the great-and-small in 1083 23—1085 34. But ras airds would be rather more pointed, and may be the true reading.

There is therefore something to be said for Christ’s proposal to omit the second eva. This gives the sense ‘ He who first posited that the Ideas were also numbers naturally separated the Ideas and the mathematical objects’.

Criticism OF THE Doctrine or IpzEas (M. 9. 10862 18—N. 2. 10g0® 2), (A) Lf assigns separate existence to universals (M. 9. 10864 18—ro. 1087 25). 18. So much for the numbers; with regard to the first principles, what those say who are speaking of sensible substance only is a question for physics; we must discuss the statements of those who believe. in non-sensible substances, Ideas and numbers, whose principles are the principles of all things. 29. Those who believe in mathematical numbers only may be deferred ; we must discuss the believers in Ideas. They treat the Ideas as universals and at the same time as existing apart and as being particulars. 34. The reason of this impossible combination is that they thought that since sensible particulars were in constant flux, universals must be something apart from these. be. Socrates by reason of his definitions gave the impulse to this view, but did not separate the universals from the particulars. He was right, for knowledge implies a universal; it is the separation that causes the objections to the Ideas. 7. His successors, seeing that if there are substances apart from sensibles they must exist separately, could find no others than these universals to assign separate existence to, and therefore assigned it to them. The result is that their universals and their particulars are practically the same kind of thing. 14. We may state a difficulty already discussed which affects non-believers as well as believers in Ideas: if we do not suppose substances to exist apart, we annihilate substance; if we do suppose them to do so, what are we to say of their elements ? 20. (1) If we make these particulars, then (a) things will be no M. 9. 1086% 17-21 461 more in number than their elements, and (4) the elements will be un- knowable. For suppose syllables to be substances, and their elements (the letters) the elements of substances. 24. Then (a) each syllable will be a unique individual, and there- fore also each letter; and therefore there will be nothing but the letters. 32. (4) The elements will be unknowable. For knowledge is of the universal, as is clear from the nature of demonstration and definition. 37. (2) If the first principles are universal, either the substances com- posed of them wil] be universal, or what is not substance will be prior to substance. For the universal is not-substance, the first principle is universal, and the first principle is prior to what is composed of it. 10872 4. These difficulties arise when people derive the Ideas from elements, and at the same time treat the Ideas as existing apart from the substances that have the same form. But (a) if there are many a’s and b’s and no ‘ aitself’ or ‘b itself’ apart from the many, there can be an infinite number of similar syllables ; and so with substances and their elements. 10. (4) The view that knowledge is universal, so that the first principles of things must be universal and not separate substances, is true only in a sense. 15. The potentiality of knowledge, being universal and indefinite, is of the universal and indefinite, but the actuality is definite and of the definite, individual and of the individual; what the grammarian studies is ‘ this a’, and ‘a’ only indirectly because this a is an a. 21, If the principles had to be universal, their compounds would have to be universal, and then there would be no self-subsistent sub- stance. But it is only in one sense that knowledge is universal. 1086? 20. Bz.’s proposal to read wereopevoy or rererpévovs for the second memetopévos does nothing to remove the difficulty. The manuscript reading is as old as Alexander. The sentence though careless is not unnatura]. Aristotle writes ot@év paAXov as if some- thing like ay éxidoéq could be supplied from the previous clause; but he happens to have written in the previous clause dy zeioGein, which with zpos 76 reve Oqvar would make nonsense.—Cf. note at beginning of Book M. 21. Syrianus tells us (160. 6) that some manuscripts made Book N begin at this point. Certainly there seems to be a greater change of subject than at 108729. So far, Aristotle has been discussing the question whether Ideas and numbers exist independently of particular 462 COMMENTARY things; now he proposes to discuss ‘the first principles and the first causes and elements’. In essence 1086* 21—108¥%4 25 is a preface to N, and with N forms a parallel and probably earlier treatment of the subject dealt with in M. init.—10862 18. Cf. note at beginning of Book M. In the discussion now entered upon two~distinct questions arise: (1) whether Ideas and numbers could serve as the elementary principles of things; (2) whether the account given by the Platonists of the principles of Ideas and numbers is satisfactory. ‘The two questions are, as Bz. observes, not kept very clearly apart by Aristotle. 23. év Tols wept pucews.

Bz. supposes Aristotle to be admitting that the refusal to posit substances separate from sensibles leads to the negation of substance, and accord- ingly takes ds BovddpeBa A€yew to mean ‘as we are willing to admit for the sake of argument’. But this is not (I think) idiomatic Greek, and no reason can be suggested why for the sake of argument Aristotle should admit something so entirely contrary to his own view, He is in fact saying something quite different: ‘If one does not suppose substances to exist separately, and in the way in which individual things are said to exist, one will destroy the kind of substance that we wish to maintain’. The question of the chapter is a general one, involving those who do not believe in Ideas as well as those who do (Il. 15). Aristotle agreed with the Platonists in supposing substances to exist separately (the substances ‘hey meant being Ideas, i.e. entities which were supposed to combine universality with independent existence, while the substances 4e means are individuals). He there- fore dismisses at once the supposition that substances do not exist separately, and passes (1. 19) to the supposition that they do, which occupies the rest of the chapter. Are their elements unique individuals or universals? (1) If individuals (Aristotle is no doubt thinking here of expressions like ‘ ‘ze One’, ‘ the indefinite dyad’), then (a) the sub- stances will be unique individuals also, and (6) the elements will be unknowable. (2) If universal, the substances will be universal and no true substances. --Aristotle’s-own view is that the elements, and the substances, are neither unique individuals nor universals. All that is substantial is individual, but individuals are not necessarily unique ; there may be many ofa kind. And what is true of substances is true also of their elements(1087* 7-10). So Aristotle meets objection (1 a) ; (1 5) he meets by the assertion that in a sense knowledge is of individuals (10878 10-25); (2) he leaves alone, since his view is that the elements are individuals, though not unique individuals, Cf. note at beginning of Book M. 22-32. totwoav... pdvoy Ta atorxeta. ‘The main point of these lines may be put thus: If each letter of the alphabet were a unique individual, then you could never by any process of composition get any more at one time than just A, B, C, &c., each occurring once. 464 COMMENTARY You could not have, for instance, a syllable BA and a syllable BC. Similarly, if the elements of substances were unique individuals, sub- stances would be miserably Jimited in their number. Aristotle professes to be assuming that the elements are unique individuals (ll. 20, 21). But he complicates the argument by deducing this (Il. 27, 28) from the unique individuality of the composite sub- stances, which he first states as following from their being separate substances (Il. 22-27), and then establishes by reference to what the Platonists actually say (én... r.0éacw 1. 27). 27. dpdvupov is used here in the sense more properly expressed by ovvevepov (cf.

This use of ei py is found, e.g., in Ar, Zy. 186, Av. 1681, Lys. 943, Thesm. 898, and Alexander so interprets the words here (790. 1)—There are, however, occasional references in Aristotle to the occurrence of singular propositions as the minor premise or conclusion of syllogisms (e.g. Az. Pr. 43° 37-40), and in the absence of any evidence of this idiomatic use of ei jm in Aristotle, it seems preferable to suppose that Aristotle has in mind a syllogism of the form : All triangles have their angles = two right angles, This figure is a triangle. . This figure has its angles = two right angles. Cf. An.

There is manifestly no argument here; the second clause makes nonsense of the passage. All that is needed is to insert 4 before gorau in 1087%1. ‘But if the principles are universal, either the substances composed of them are also universal or non-substance will be prior to substance.’ Cf. 10879 21 ézel ei dvdyKy Tas dpxas KabdAov Elva, ava-yKn kal ta éx TovTwv KaGodov. When the first 7 once came to be mis- understood as ‘or’, the second was bound to drop out. Syrianus (164. 36) treats the clause beginning 7% xai as apodosis, and therefore probably read the second 7. Aristotle has already (ll. 20-37) shown the difficulties that arise if the elements of substances be taken to be numerically single. He has now (1086 37—1087* 4) shown that if the elements are universal, either non-substance will be prior to substance (which is absurd) or the substances will be universals ; but this contradicts the very notion of substances, which is that they are xeywpiopevat, Kal Tov TpdTov TovTOV ds A€yerau 7a Kal?’ Exacta TOV dvtwv (1086) £7).

(2) ‘And when they claim that there is a single abroeioos separate from the substances, i. e. from the Ideas, which have in them the dpyixov & or avrocidos’ (791. 5). Besides misreading 76 ard eldos aS TO avToEtoos, this introduces a notion which the context does not warrant, the notion of a hierarchy among the Ideas.

Aristotle says domwep as if he were afterwards going on to state 2573 2 Hh bili ded 466 COMMENTARY the true view about the elements of substances, of which the true view about the elements of syllables is an illustration ; but the dozep clause gives his meaning sufficiently and the principal clause never appears.

The modification is contrary to his usual view, which is that actual knowledge is of universals.

In neither of these passages is the doctrine introduced to escape from difficulties such as that put forward here ; it is a genuine part of Aristotle’s theory, though perhaps incon- sistent with another part. Usually knowledge is opposed to sensation as being of the universal while sensation is of the particular, but occasionally Aristotle admits that knowledge is of the universal in the particular, as he admits (An.

All philosophers make the first principles contraries, the first principles of unchangeable substances as well as those of the objects of physics. Now, since there cannot be anything prior to the first principle of all things, the first principle cannot be an attribute of something else, for then that other would be prior to it. But M, Yo! 1087" 13-22 467 all generation from contraries implies a substratum, so that all con- traries are attributes of a subject and none is self-subsistent ; therefore no contrary is strictly a first principle. . b4. Now the Platonists make one of the contraries—viz. the unequal (the dyad of the great and small) or plurality—the material principle, and its contrary, ‘the One’, the formal principle. 12. Further, they state the first principles badly, whether they describe the material principle (a) as the great and small, or (6) as the many and few, or (c) as the exceeding and the exceeded. These diversities make no difference to any but the verbal objections. 21. If you treat the exceeding and the exceeded in general as the principle rather than the great and small, you should say that number in general is derived from the elements previously to the number two ; but they do not say this. 26. Others oppose (¢) ‘the other’, or (e) plurality, to the One. If the One has any contrary, it is plurality; but even this antithesis is wrong, because it would follow that the One is few. Objections (ch. 1. 1087> 33-2. 1088 35). (1) Objection relative /o the formal principle. 33. ‘The one’ evidently means a measure. It always has a sub- stratum, in harmony the semitone, in length the finger, &c., and generally in qualities a quality indivisible in kind, in quantities a quantity indivisible to the senses; there is no substantial ‘One itself’. 1088%4. This is natural, for ‘one’ means a measure of some plurality, and number a measured plurality or a plurality of measures (so that one is not a number). 8. A measure must be something common to the things measured ; ‘horse’ is the measure of horses, ‘living being’ is the measure of a man, a horse, and a god, ‘class’ is perhaps the measure of ‘man’, ‘white’, and ‘ walking’. (2) Objections relative to the material principle. 15. Those who make the dyad an indefinite something composed of great and small say what is neither plausible nor possible. For (a) these are, like odd and even, &c., attributes rather than the sub- stratum of numbers and magnitudes. 21. (4) Great and small are relative terms, and therefore belong to the least substantial of all the categories. Relation is an accident of quantity, and always implies a substratum. Hh 2 468 COMMENTARY 2g. Its unsubstantiality is shown by this, that of it alone there is no generation, destruction, nor change, as there is increase and diminution in respect of quantity, alteration in respect of quality, motion in respect of place, generation and destruction in respect of substance; a thing becomes greater or smaller without itself changing, if its correlative becomes-smaller or greater. by. (c) The matter of a thing is what is potentially that thing; but relation is neither potentially nor actually substance. Non-substance cannot be an element in substance. 4. (d) Elements are not predicated of their compounds, but many and few are predicable of number, long and short of line, &c. 8. If there is a plurality (e.g. two) which is simply ‘few’, there must be one which is simply ‘many’ (e.g. 10 or 10,000), But if the many and few are elements in number, either both or neither should be predicable of it. (3) Odjection to regarding eternal entities as composed of elements. 14. Can eternal things be composed of elements? If they were, they would have matter. That which is composite is generated from its elements, but that from which a thing is generated is that which is potentially it. Now that which is potential need not become actual. Therefore that which has matter, however long it lasts, is capable of not being and is therefore not eternal. 28. Those who make an indefinite dyad the material principle, but avoid calling it the unequal, avoid only the objections incidental to making the unequal (a relative term) an element. The mistake on which the theory rests (ch. 2. 1088> 35-10908 2). 35. The chief reason why the Platonists turned to such causes was their archaic statement of the problem. They thought all things would be one, viz. ‘being itself’, if they did not oppose Parmenides’ dogma and prove that not-being is; they thought that if things are many, they: must be composed of being and something else. 1089* 7. But (r) if ‘ being ’ has many senses (substance, quality, &c.), what sort of unity will all things be if not-being does not exist? Will all substances be one, all qualities, &c., or all things in whatever category they are? It is impossible that one thing (not-being) should cause the diversity between the different categories. 15. (2) What sort of not-being combines with being to make things ? Not-being has different senses answering to the categories. 20. Plato means by ‘not-being’ the false; whence it was said that N. 1. 10884— 2. 1089) 469 we must presuppose something false, as geometers assume the line which is not a foot long to be a foot long; but in fact geometers assume nothing false, and this sort of not-being will not account for the generation or destruction of anything. 26. It is from not-being in another sense, viz. the potential, that generation takes place. gi. The inquiry seems to be how being in the sense of substance is many; for what these thinkers generate is numbers, lines, and bodies. But it is absurd to ask how there are many substances and not how there are many qualities or quantities. The indefinite dyad cannot be the cause of there being many colours, for instance; for then colours would have been numbers and units. bg. If they had considered this, they would have seen the cause of the plurality of substances also; for it must be at least analogous. This error is also the cause of their treating as the material principle a relative term (viz. the unequal) which is not really opposed to being or to the One but is one kind of being. 8. They ought to have asked how relations are many; but while they ask how there are many units besides the One, they do not ask how there are many unequals besides the Unequal. Yet they use many unequals—great and small, many and few, long and short, &c. 15. It is necessary to presuppose for each thing that which was potentially it; the author of this theory indicated what in his view is potentially substance, viz. the relative—he might as well have said quality—which is neither potentially the One or being nor the con- tradiction of them, but a kind of being. 20. Much more, if he was asking how things are many, was it necessary not to confine himself to substances or to qualities. 24. In the categories other than substance there is another problem as to how things are many ; no doubt, since they do not exist apart, they are many through the substratum taking on many qualities, &c.; but there must be a matter for each category, only it cannot be one existing apart from substances. 28. But in the case of substance we can see how the individual is many things, if we avoid the mistake of treating the same thing both as an individual and as a nature; the real difficulty here is how there are many actually existing substances. gz. A ‘this’ and a quantity are not the same, but the Platonists do not tell us how existing things in general are many, but how there are many quantities; for every number indicates a quantity and so does the unit. On the other hand, if a ‘this’ and a quantity are treated as the same, many contradictions follow. 470 COMMENTARY 1087? 29. Tis odctas TaUTys, i.e. the dxivytos otcia which has been the subject of Book M (cf. 1076211), Aristotle has already at 1086 21 passed from the discussion of the Idea-numbers, which were the axivyntos ovata that the Platonists believed in, to the discussion of the first principles of the Idea-numbers, so that the transition now made is really not from the dxivyros otcia to its ‘principles but from one question about the principles to another. ‘This difficulty is correctly stated by Bz., but his proposal for its solution, the reading of dzopias for obaias, does not commend itself; Alexander read otcéas and inter- preted it as we have done. We have already seen (10868 21 n.) that there was an early divergence in the manuscripts as to where N should begin. It might be suggested that the original beginning was at 1086 21 (or 18), and that the present clause or the whole sentence was added by an early copyist who divided the books at this point and felt the lack of a formal introduction. But it seems more probable that 1086418 and 1087229 were two alternative transitions, both written by Aristotle, to the question of the principles of Idea-numbers, or in other words that 1086? 18—1087 25 is a fragment which does not really belong to the main structure of MN but was introduced by an early editor as dealing with the same subject. In any case the distinction between M and N as dealing, the one with dxivnros ovata, the other with its first principles, is not well maintained ; we hear a good deal in M of the One and the indefinite dyad. br. 1000’, i. €. dzroKeipevov TL 3.

In the light of the evi- dence there cited, we may ignore Alexander’s statement that it is the Pythagoreans (796. 32) or Pythagoras himself (ib. 34) that Aristotle is referring to. Xenocrates may possibly also have used the expression in this context (Plut. De An. Procr. ii. 1,2, 1012 Dk, cf, Aet. i. 3. 23). 12. Alexander reads dpv6ud Adyw & ov, and apparently takes the words to mean that the unequal, though in point of fact the same thing as the great and the small, has a different definition. But it seems more probable that the manuscript reading is right, and that N. 1. 10872 29— 1087? 27 471 the meaning is: Plato treats the unequal (or the great and the small) as one and does not draw the distinction that though definable by a single definition it contains within itself a plurality, sc. the great and the small. This has more point in the context. Obviously contraries go in pairs, and Aristotle is confirming his statement that the Platonists make their first principles contraries by showing that for Plato the One and the-great-and-the-small are but /wo things. Aristotle himself in accordance with his usual misinterpretation of the great and small (cf. M. 108323 n.) insists on treating them as ¢hree (I. 14). This interpretation is rendered certain by comparison with 1088? r5. 12-13.

Alexander explains (799. 21) that the finger is indivisible in efSos because it is not divided into fingers but into half-fingers, which are different in eidos from the finger; while the dieous is indivisible xara rHv alcOynow because it is the smallest sound— he means of course the smallest interval. This account of ‘indivisible in efSos’ is not a natural one, and does not agree with Aristotelian usage. In Aristotle the phrase seems to apply (1) to infimae species (B. 999? 3)3 (2) both to genera and to species, in virtue of the core of identity in each (A. 1016419; Aristotle says there dv advalperov 76 eloos Kata THY alobyow, So that Kad.

In I. 1 the indivisible in quantity is opposed first to the indivisible in quality (1052” 35) and then to the indivisible in eidos (1053% 20, cf. De An. 430» 14), and the indivisible in «idos is evidently meant to be the same as the indivisible in quality.

There is no distinct kind of change which can be called change in respect of relation, as there is change in respect of substance, quality, quantity, and place. Change in respect of a relation is always due to change, in one of these other respects, of one of the relata. A thing may change in respect of a relation when z¢ does not change at all, but its correlative changes. This indicates, Aristotle observes, that relation is a superficial category. The statement that relation is the only category which has not a specific kind of change answering to it implies a list of categories including only substance, quality, quantity, place, relation. This precise list is not found else- where. But Aristotle probably has in mind a list of eight categories without kxetoOa. and éyew (which occur only in Cat, 1527, Top. 103 23), and omits wovy and wacyew as being practically equivalent to xivnors itself (cf. Phys, 22513 = K. 10684 14), and zoré because, while time is involved in-change, there is obviously no change which is merely in respect of time. There is an excellent conspectus of the forms in which the list of categories appears in Aristotle, in Apelt, Beir. 2. Gesch. d. Gr. Phil. pp. 140, 141. The subsidiary character of relation is nowhere stated in the Categories; this distinction between it and the other categories belongs more properly to metaphysics than to logic. b6. kat Xwpls kal Gua, e.g. two is merely few, the largest number is merely many, but three is many relatively to two, few relatively to the other numbers. 8-11, «i S¢ 8)... pupa.

Christ thinks that this section belongs to the latter part of ch. 1.

The passage suggests at first sight that the description of the material principle as ‘the indefinite dyad’ was a modification of an earlier description of it as ‘the unequal’. Yet Aristotle couples the two phrases as occurring in the same theory (1088415), and implies that the phrase ‘indefinite dyad’ goes back to Plato (1090) 32 —1091*5, M. 1083 23-32). His meaning here is that owing to certain difficulties some thinkers abandoned the phrase ‘the unequal’ N. 1. 1088> 10 —2. 1089? 20 415 but retained ‘the indefinite dyad’. Cf. Robin, pp. 643-653. | Xeno- crates is probably meant, as there is evidence connecting the ee ‘indefinite dyad’ particularly with him (M. ro814 14 n.). 10892 2-6.

Aristotle asks ‘ what sort of unity do all things make?’, and interprets this (]. 10) as meaning ‘ what things make the unity?’. The question he addresses to the Platonists really is ‘do you mean that all substances make a one of substance, or that all the categories make a one which embraces them all?’ Cf. Phys, 185% 20-30.

So too in the case mentioned here the geometer says dédorax ypappa odvaia and seeks to prove something about it or to construct some figure onit. But supposing the given line is not a foot long, what then? It does not matter, says Aristotle; the zpdracis is not part of the proof. Strictly the weddos occurs not in the zpdracis or general enunciation but in what Proclus calls the éeous or setting out of the particular data.

Bz. prefers the interpretation of this as = dmdxpiow, which occurs once in one manuscript of Alexander (811. 27). But Alexander’s commentary there shows that this is a mere copyist’s error. Alexander really interpreted the word as meaning dzopiav (816. 8, 12, 21, 811. 27), and this meaning alone agrees with the Aristotelian usage of émicracis (cf. Phys. 1967 36, £. £. 1236” 33) and of épiordvar (cf. 1090" 2 and Jnd, Ar. 305% 2-17). émicracis is an arresting of the attention, and this is caused by a problem or dzropia.

But these words are concessive and preparatory to the problem, which is stated in xafrov... tav ovovdy.

Now he continues ‘it is intelligible how the individual thing can be many, if we do not confusedly suppose that a thing can be both an individual and a certain characteristic ’,—the confusion with which Aristotle habitually charges the Platonists. If an individual were a characteristic, it could not be many in the sense of being many characteristics, but there is no reason why a genuine individual should not be many in the sense of having several characteristics—Alexander’s interpretation of ll. 29, 30, adopted with reserve by Bz., seems impossible. 30-31. airy dé... odctar.- ‘ The problem that really arises out of the facts about substance is this, how there can be many actually existing substances ’,—not how one thing can be many in the sense of having many attributes. 82.

For a similar confusion between dru and xaé in the manuscripts, where Alexander preserves xai, cf. H. 1043828. The error probably arose from the misreading of a contraction.

(A) Zhe theory that mathematical numbers exist separately (ch. 2. 1090 2—3. 10gI® 12), 1090* 2, (1) How are we to be convinced that the numbers exist? For the believers in Zdeas they act as causes of existing things, since each number is an Idea. 7. But why should we believe one who sees the difficulties about the Ideas but posits mathematical number; what causal value has this? It is not asserted to be the cause of anything, but a self-subsistent entity, nor does it turn out to be the cause of anything ; the theorems of arithmetic are true of sensible things, and do not imply self- subsistent mathematical number. 16. (z) Those who hold that there are Ideas and that these are numbers (Plato) fail to show why there must be Ideas, and therefore why self-subsistent number must exist. 20. (6) The Pythagoreans, because they saw many attributes of numbers belonging to sensible bodies, thought things must be numbers —not separately existing numbers but numbers of which things were made. 25. (c) Those who believe in mathematical number only (Speusip- pus) cannot say this; they only said that the objects of the sciences could not be sensible things. We maintain that they are. If mathe- matical objects existed apart, their attributes would not be found in bodies. 30. The Pythagoreans are free from objection on this score, but in constructing bodies out of numbers seem to be speaking of other bodies than those we perceive Nea2 1OOOt 1-4 479 35. while those who treat number as self-subsistent are open to the objection made above (1. 29). b5. (d) Some treat the limits, point, line, and plane, as separate entities. But (i) at this rate the limit of a walk should be a substance, and (ii) at all events the limits do not exist apart from the things of which they are limits. 1g. (2) One might point out that the prior genera contribute nothing to the later; (a) if number did not exist, spatial magnitudes could still exist for those who believe in mathematical objects only (Speusippus) ; and if these did not exist, the soul and sensible things could still exist. But nature is not episodic like a bad tragedy. 20. (4) The believers in. Ideas (Xenocrates) escape this objection, for they construct magnitudes out of matter and number, lines out of the number two, planes out of three, solids out of four, But (i) are these magnitudes Ideas, or what are they? They contribute nothing to sensible things, any more than the mathematical objects referred to above (I. 15). 27. (ii) No mathematical proposition is true of them, unless one starts a new set of assumptions. 32. (c) The first thinkers who believed in both ideal and mathe- matical number (Plato) cannot tell us how the latter exists. They make it intermediate between ideal and sensible number. If it is derived from the great and small, it is the same as ideal number; if not, the elements are getting rather numerous. If the formal principle in both kinds of number is a One, how does the One take these two forms, if at the same time number cannot on Platonic principles be derived from anything but the One and the indefinite dyad? 091° 5. The theory is evidently like Simonides’ ‘long story’, which slaves. spin when they have nothing sound to say. The great and small seem to complain of their ill-treatment; for they cannot generate any number but two and its powers. 1090* 2—109QI® 12 is a discussion of the doctrine of separately exist- ing numbers, covering much the same ground as that covered in M. 2, 3, and it seems impossible to detect the distinction Bz. draws between the two passages: ‘lIllic ipsa rei natura disputandi legem et ordinem praescribit, hic vero eorum philosophorum, qui res mathematicas per se esse statuerunt, sententias singulas respicit et refutat.’ M and N cannot have been meant to form parts of a single treatise; they are independent essays. 4. etotv.

E.g. in» 2 in attacking the view of Plato and Speusippus Aristotle says the Pythagoreans (6 évayriovjevos Adyos) can make out as good a case for the opposite view. 16-19. The best interpretation of this very difficult sentence seems to be got by reading, as Bessarion perhaps did, 74 before xard in|, 17, omitting rd in 1, 18, and reading ¢éorw inl. 19. ‘As for those who assert that the Ideas exist, and that they are numbers, by their assumption —in virtue of the method of setting out each term apart from its in- stances—of the unity of each general term they try at least to give some account of why they believe number to exist.’ I take the subject of Zarw to be number, which is the subject of the whole discussion (cf. ll. gf, 10, 13, 20). It is impossible to say what Alexander read, except that he does not seem to have had 76, Other attempts to deal with the sentence are (1) that of Winckelmann, who keeps the manuscript reading and translates ‘those who posit the Ideas ... try at least to say how and why it is possible, according to the doctrine which separates each kind of thing from its many particulars, to assume each to be a unity’. ‘The objections to this are that (a) 76 is unexplained, and (4) the order in which the words are taken is intolerably unnatural, (2) Bz. suggests card 10 exOcow. » « Aap Bdvew.

Alexander says that in the "Araxro. Simonides represented the sort of story that a slave will tell to cover his failure in some duty (fr, 189 Bergk.). Cf het, 141523.

The great and the small cannot (Aristotle maintains) produce any number save 2 and its powers, since it is dvoroids (M. 1082 14, 1083» 35).

(B) Adsurdity of ascribing generation to the numbers tf these are thought of as eternal (ch. 3. 10918 12—4. 10g1* 29). 12. It is absurd to ascribe generation to eternal things, as the Pythagoreans certainly do. They say that when the One had been put together the nearest part of the unlimited began to be drawn and limited by the limit. 18, But the discussion of these thinkers is more appropriate to physics ; we are seeking the principles of wnmovadle things. 1091° 23. They say the odd is not generated, implying that the even is, viz. from the equalization of the great and the small. These, then, must previously have been unequal, so that the account is meant to be historical, and not merely logical. 1091* 12-29. Bz. points out the connexion between this passage and 1088 14-35. — Aristotle there showed that eternal things cannot be constructed out of elements. Here he shows that the Pythagoreans and Platonists actually proposed to explain the generation of eternal things. 15-18. This is one of the comparatively few passages which throw light on the general Pythagorean cosmology. Aristotle’s suggestions as to the mode of composition of 76 & (i.e. the spatially extended first unit, M. 1080 20-21 n,) are not necessarily based on any- thing the Pythagoreans had said; they might be merely derisive con- jectures of his own, like his suggestions about the constitution of the Platonic numbers in 10g2* 21 ff. (where owépya occurs again, ib, 32). But in one respect he uses the Pythagorean terminology, for xpo.ds is doubtless used in the Pythagorean sense of ‘surface’ (De Sensu Tia . 484 COMMENTARY 439" 30). Aristotle is here referring to the Pythagorean generation of solids by fluxion from planes, of planes from lines, and of lines from points. Again, his reference to seed probably implies that some Pythagoreans thought of the generation of numbers as akin to that of living things. For the conception of the ‘ nearest parts of the infinite ’ being ‘ drawn and limited by the limit’ (here apparently = the One) cf. Anatol. p. 30 Heib.

Lvl. i, 18. 1 b = Diels 276. 43),—things not distinguished in the early period of Pythagorean- ism (cf. Anaximenes). The One is thought of as being in the centre of a shapeless mass of air or vapour and gradually introducing shape and limit into it, working from within outwards. The ‘drawing in’ is further described as ‘ breathing’, and the wind or void drawn in is said to keep the units apart (Phys. 213° 24). ‘This is’,as Prof. Burnet remarks (Z. G. P. §53), ‘a very primitive way of describing the nature of discrete quantity’. It will be observed that the Pythagoreans are trying to describe at one moment the formation of the number system and that of the physical universe, which is just what on their principles they were bound to do. The number One is identified with the central fire, as two was with the earth and seven with the sun, 15-17. &s... O07. For similar tautology cf. Znd. Ar. 538” 33-39. 19. éferdfew tu wept picews.

Though so far Aristotle has mentioned only the Pytha- goreans (I. 13), he now proceeds to argue that the Platonic account of the origination of things from the principles is chronological, not merely logical. For their failure to give any account of the production of odd number cf. A. 98734n. It is hard to believe that they seriously denied the derivativeness of odd numbers. Zeller supposes that it was only the first odd number (3) that they treated as ungenerated, as it is their original (zpérov) generation of even number that is referred to in 1. 243 if they assumed the number 3 without generating it, they might be said to deny the derivativeness of odd number, though they gave a derivation for odd numbers other than 3. Syrianus’ explana- tion is probably the correct one—viz. that the Platonists were speaking ‘symbolically’; ‘likening odd number to the gods, they naturally say it is ungenerated, while, taking even number as analogous to things that have matter in them, they call it generated and liken it to a dyad ; but none the less they derive the series of even and odd numbers from the same principles’; i.e. they described the odd numbers as un- generated because they likened them to the One, the principle of pure form, and the even numbers as generated because they likened them to the indefinite dyad, the principle of matter and change.

De Caelo 279 32 280% 2, which the Greek commentators interpret as referring to Xenocrates. A similar interpretation of the Platonic Yoxoyovia as logical, not temporal, was offered by Xenocrates and Crantor (Plut. Az. Procr. 3. 1013). From Procl. 7 Lucid. ed. Friedlein, p. 77. 15—78. 8, we may infer that Speusippus is also referred to. (C) Relation between the first principles and the good (ch. 4. 10918 29—5. 1092 21). 2g. It is a difficult question whether the good and the beautiful are among the first principles or are later. 33. The cosmologists seem to agree with some moderns who treat them as later owing to the objection which confronts those who make the One a first principle; but the objection is not to the ascribing of goodness as an attribute to the principle, but to making the One actually the constituent element in things. b4. Similarly the cosmologists say that not the first beings—Night, Ouranos, Chaos, Ocean—but Zeus rules the world ; 8. but those whose treatment is not purely mythical, such as Pherecydes and the Magi, identify the first generator and the best, as do Empedocles and Anaxagoras. Of the believers in unchangeable substances some identify the One with the good, but make oneness its essence. 16. It is strange if itis not as being good that self-sufficiency and eternality belong to the primary being; but truly they belong to it just because it is good. The first principle, then, is good. 20. But that this good principle should be the One, or an element of numbers, is impossible. Difficulties arise (to avoid which some make the One the principle of mathematical number only) : 25. (1) Each unit becomes essentially a good, and we get too many goods. 26. (2) Every Form becomes essentially a good. But if there are Forms only of goods, the Forms are not substances ; while if there are Forms also of substances, all animals, plants, &c., will be goods. gt. (3) The contrary element will be the bad itself. One thinker avoided describing the One as good, just because it would follow that plurality was bad. Others accept the identification of the unequal with the bad. a 486 COMMENTARY 35. It follows that (a) all things partake of the bad except the One ; (8) the numbers share it in a purer form than the spatial magnitudes ; (y) the bad is the place of the good and shares and desires in that which destroys it; (8) the bad is the potentially good. 1092? 5. These conclusions follow from treating (1) every prin- ciple as an element, (2) the contraries~as principles, (3) the One as first principle, (4) the numbers as the primary substances, self-sub- sistent, and Forms. g. If, as we have seen, it is impossible either to put or not to put the good among the first principles, evidently the account of the first principles must be wrong. It is wrong, too, to argue that because living things come from something indefinite and undeveloped, the first principles of all things must be undeveloped; the undeveloped seed comes from a fully developed parent. 17. Again, it is absurd to make place simultaneous in origin with the mathematical solids (for they are not anywhere), and to say that they must be somewhere without saying what their place is.

Zeller (i.6 122 ff.) enumerates four Orphic cosmogonies, of which the first is referred to by Plato (Craé. 402 8, Zim. 40 D—4I a) and Aristotle (cf. A. ro71® 26) and described by Eudemus (ap. Damase. c. 124). Aristotle supposed it to have been put into writing by Onomacritus (fr. 1475* 44). According to this system, Night came first and gave birth to Earthand Heaven. The children of Earth and Heaven were Ocean and Tethys (Orpheus, fr. 12 Diels). Musaeus is said to have derived all things from Night and Tartarus (fr. 14); Epimenides, from Air and Night (ff. 5) ; Acusilaus, from Chaos, Night, and Erebus (fr. 1). Aristophanes (Av. 694) makes the birds sing of Erebus and Night as the first parents. The chief other Orphic system is the ‘rhapsodic’ cosmogony dating from the third century B.c. and described by Damascius (¢. 123), which places Chronos in the first place, followed by Aether and Chaos, &c. Zeller argues convincingly for the priority of the first-named system, but Lobeck and others took the opposite view. Tannery shows in A. G. P. xi, 13-17 that the rhap- sodic cosmogony differed from the original Orphic cosmogony not by transforming it so much as by adding to it. For the place of Night in the cosmogonies cf.

But truly it is imperishable (= eternal) and self-sufficient for no other reason than because its condition or nature is good.’ Aristotle establishes the goodness of the first principle in two ways: (1) the self-sufficiency and eternality which it is assumed to possess are good qualities. (2) It could not have these if it were not in itself good. One is tempted to read os dya66 in |. 17, but then ll. 18, 19 would merely repeat what is said in ll. 16-18. 20, tovadtyy = dyabyv, TatThy = Tiv dapxnv tHv ayabyv. It is impossible, says Aristotle, to suppose that this good first principle is the One; or even, without saying this («i 7 todro), to describe it (more indefinitely) as an element, and an element of numbers. (Plato says that the good is the dpy7 of things; he also says the ororxeta of num- bers are the dpyai of things. It follows, then, that the good is a oto.xetov of number, even if it be not expressly identified with the One.) The reasons for describing this as impossible come in Il. 25-32 ; Aristotle mentions parenthetically in ll. 22-25 the attempt made by some thinkers (evidently Speusippus is meant; cf. M. 1076* 20-21 n.) to escape the difficulties. 22-25. Speusippus attempted to escape the difficulty by doing away with the ideal numbers and treating the One as the starting-point of mathematical numbers only, so that no goodness need be assigned to it and no superabundance of goods be produced from it (I. 26 woAAy Tis evrropia éyabav). 25.

From this Aristotle draws a consequence of his own probably not drawn by Speusippus : (3) What is imperfect cannot be said really to be. The One is imperfect. Therefore the One is not. Aristotle denies the premise numbered (2) above. 17-21. The charge of ‘producing place simultaneously with the mathematical solids’ and of ‘assigning place to them without saying what their place is’ has little connexion either with what precedes or with what follows.

Not by composition, for (1) that implies position ; (2) number would then be two distinct things, the unit+ plurality. Number cannot be derived from elements which inhere in it (for this applies only to things that are generated), nor as from seed (for nothing analogous to seed can come off from the indivisible One). 33. Is it derived from its contrary? This implies a substratum which persists. These thinkers seem to derive number from con- traries; a substratum therefore is implied. bg.

(2) The product of mixture is something different from its elements, so that after the mixture had been achieved the One would no longer exist as a separate and distinct entity; cf. De Gen. et Corr. 327% 22-26 for the doctrine that the constituents exist only potentially when once the mixture has been made. The second te in |. 25 serves to introduce not, as Bz. supposes, a third argument, but (as Alexander takes it to do) the second part of the same argument. 26. 4ddd ouvOécer. oivOeors differs from piéis as mechanical from chemical combination (De Gen. ef Corr. 3284 3-17). 30. €oT. pev . . . od.

From this is to be distinguished the generation of a thing from an efficient cause which is zo/ present in the thing (A. 10238 26, 29; cf. 1013 4, 7, A. 1070? 22 for the meaning of évurdpyeuv). 32. GAN’ es dard oméppatos ; Cf. 1091716. Alexander (825. 30) takes this as an instance of ds é« px evutapxovrwv, as adda. suggests, and takes yéveors to refer to artistic production. Bz. supposes that édAd indicates not as in Il. 26, 33 the transition to a fresh alternative, but as in Il. 24, 27, 32 (GAN ody oiov krA.) an objection to the alternative under discussion. ‘Only those things which yiyvera: can be said to be é éevyrapydvtuv. But can we suppose that number yiyvera: ds dd orépparos?’ Bz. is evidently right as against Alexander in saying that yéveous cannot = artistic production as against natural generation. It either means natural generation as opposed to artistic production or includes both (Z. 1032% 26). On the other hand, Bz. seems not to be right in taking . ws ard oméppatos to be a case of ws é& evuTapydvrwv. o7méppa, NO doubt, means sometimes the seed of plants, in which the male and female elements are united, and which may be said to be ‘ present in’ the plant that grows from it; but it seems more likely to mean, as it constantly does, the male element in animal reproduction, which is no part of the offspring but only its efficient and formal cause (G. A. 729” 1-21, 35, 730” 10-19, 716% 4-7, 765” 11). The supposition that number comes from its principles ds e& evv- mapxovrwy is sufficiently refuted by the answer that it is only things that are generated (whether naturally or artificially) that are é€ évu- mapxovrwv—while the numbers are eternal (cf. 1088 14-28). as did o7repparos is one form of as éx py evuTrapyYovTwy. ; GAN obx ofdy Te Tod Adiatpérou Ti dmeAOetv. Bz. interprets thus: “To explain growth from seed, something must be supposed to come off from the seed; but nothing can come off from the indivisible One’. But it is no part of Aristotle’s theory to suppose that in generation something comes off from the seed; rather the seed comes off from the male parent (for this use of dwedOeciv cf. Meteor. 4669, P. A. 641° 34, G.A. 721 12 ef passim). 33. GAN ds ek Tod évaytiou py Gmopevovtos; Aristotle now passes to another case of production é« pi) évurdpxovros. Production from a contrary which does not persist (cf. a. 994% 24, 30) is dAAoiwors, not yeveots amdh ; for yéveois arAF is yeveots Kara. THY ovciay, and an ovcia has no contrary (1087 3 n.); yéveows dAf is peraBodr Kat’ dvribacw, from the absence of a substance to its presence, not from one contrary to another (PAys. 2252 12-17), and it involves no persisting sensible substratum (De Gen. e¢ Corr. 319» 14, 33), while the kind of production here in question does involve such a substratum (109 2° 34). 34-3. The argument against the suggestion that number comes from a contrary which does not persist runs thus: ‘What comes from its contrary presupposes also something that persists. Now number 492 COMMENTARY is represented as coming from contraries. Therefore there must be something else, from which, as well as from one contrary, number is produced’. The reasoning is evidently fallacious. The major premise states that when A is produced from zs contrary B, a substratum C is presupposed. The minor states that number is according to the Platonists produced from /wo contraries. Production of a thing from its contrary, and production of a thing from.two contraries, are quite different, and there is a fallacy of four terms. Aristotle perhaps means to say that instead of deriving number from the One and plurality the Platonists should have derived it (since it is itself plurality) from the contrary of plurality, viz. the One, and from something which can be the substratum at one time of oneness, at another of plurality, as the change from white to black implies a substratum which can be either ; but if this be his meaning, he does not express it clearly. 35- 6 pév. In the light of 1091 32 and A. 1072? 31 it is clear that this means Speusippus; cf. M, 10859 n.,5n, Plutarch (De An. Procr. ii. 1. 2, 1012 D £) tells us that Xenocraées spoke of the material principle as plurality, but of this we cannot be so sure. 6 8€(?1) means Plato, b4. dca e€ évaytiwy contains the ambiguity commented on in the note on *® 343; it might mean things of which each is produced from its contrary, or things each of which is produced from two con- traries. Kav ék wavrds 9, ‘even if all the contrary is used up’ (which refers to this case alone, not to ois éorw évayria) shows that the former is meant. The contrary which has been used up in making a thing is conceived of as still potentially present in it (évurdpxov |. 6) and capable of destroying it, no less than a contrary which is outside the thing (1) évurdpxov). 7. otov 7 veikos 76 piypa, in Empedocles’ system.

We are not told how numbers are the causes of substances, whether (1) as boundaries (as points are of spatial magnitudes, or as Eurytus determined the number of each thing by counting the pebbles he used in tracing its outline), or (2) because harmony, man, and every- thing else is a ratio of numbers. , 15. But (1) how can attributes, like white, be numbers? (2) The ratio is the substance of a thing ; the number is merely matter. ‘The number is always a number of something, of portions of fire or earth or of units; the substance is ‘so much to so much ’, i. e.a ratio of mixture of numbers. 23. Thus number is neither efficient, material, formal, nor final cause of things. N. 5. 1092% 35 — 10928 493 26. What is the good that comes from the fact that a mixture is expressible in numbers? (1) It is more important that honey-water should not be too strong than that its elements be in any particular ratio, 30. (2) The ratios of mixture involve not numbers merely but the addition of numbers, not ‘thrice two’ but ‘three of one to two of another’, while in multiplication the genus must be the same. 1093°1I. (3) Ifallthings share in number, (a) it does not follow that a thing’s number is its cause, (4) many things have the same number and will therefore, on the theory in question, be the same. 1g. There are seven Pleiads and there were seven against Thebes, but the nature of the number seven is not the cause of their being seven, 20. They say there are only the three double letters, BWZ, because there are just three concords ; but the number is in either case arbitrary. We are reminded of the methods of the old Homeric scholars. Other numerical comparisons which the Platonists make are equally frivolous, b, The lauded characteristics of numbers are not causes in any of the senses of ‘ cause’ ; but these thinkers do show in a sense that good- ness belongs tothe odd, the straight, &c. There is a sort of correspon- dence between the straight in length, the even in breadth, the odd in number, the white in colour. at, (4) It is not the ideal numbers that are the causes of harmonic relations and so forth (for equal ideal numbers are different in kind), so that this affords no reason for believing in Ideas. 24. These difficulties show that mathematical objects are not separate from sensible objects, and that the first principles are not those which these thinkers put forward. 1092» 8—109329. Aristotle now passes from the alleged genesis of numbers to the alleged genesis of things out of numbers. The following considerations show that he has in mind the Pythagoreans and perhaps also the Platonists who most resembled them : (1) The mention of Eurytus. (2) The reference to the connexions established between numbers and movements of sun and moon, and the periods of animal life (1093* 4-6, cf. A. 986% 3-8). (3) The reference to the significance of the number 7 (1093* 13). (4) The reference to the two cvororxias (1093° T1-14). It is only at 1093 21 that Aristotle turns to the Platonic theory of Idea-numbers. 8-15. Mr. Cornford suggests with much probability (Class. Quart. 494 COMMENTARY xvii. ro f.) that the second of the alternatives here mentioned, the view that ‘things embody or represent numbers, not are numbers ’, is the origi- nal Pythagorean doctrine; and that the first alternative, ‘the crude materialistic view... that things ave numbers, and numbers consist of monads, which are the terms or boundary-stones (6po.) marking out the void “ field” (yépa) in the geometrical patterns of numbers “figured” by pebbles’, is-a later, fifth-century doctrine. Aristotle’s doubt as to the meaning of the Pythagoreans may well be due to his not having distinguished successive phases of their doctrine. Cf. M. 1080? 16 n. 10. We may infer from Theophr. Ae/, 11 Wimm, = 312. 15 Br. that the source of Aristotle’s information about Eurytus was Archytas. Eurytus belongs to the beginning of the fourth century; he was a disciple of Philolaus. Alexander tells us that his method was to sketch the outline of, e.g., a man with coloured pebbles, and then to say that the number of pebbles he had used, say 250, was the number ofman. ‘This is a travesty of the method of limits according to which the early Pythagoreans represented the line by the number 2 (the number of points required to determine it), the surface by 3, the solid by 4 (cf. Z. 10368 n.).. The same process was as it were worked backwards when the numbers were ‘reduced to the forms of triangle ane square’ (l. 12). 3 (.*.), 6 (.:) and all numbers of the form “** were triangular (cf. Plut. Plaz. Quaest, 2.1003 F). Nicomachus of Gerasa (Introd. Arithm. ii. 8-11) and Theo of Smyrna (pp. 31-33 Hiller) represent numbers by a’s arranged in various geometrical patterns: I 2 3 4 5 6 9 a aa a aa a (9 ee Aas 3 aaa aad aa aa a aa a ae ag aad ‘Square’ and ‘cube’ survive as names for kinds of numbers; ‘linear’, ‘plane’, ‘solid’, ‘ triangular’, ‘ oblong’, ‘ pentagonal ’, and other names which belong to the same geometrizing order of thought have passed out of current use, but, as Prof. Burnet observes, we still represent numbers in this Pythagorean way on dice and dominoes, and we still call numbers figures. On ‘figured numbers’ cf. Heath, Hucld, vol. ii. 288 f., Gk. Math. i. 76-84, Burnet, L. G. P.§ 47, G.P. 53, Iamblichus, Zxfrod. p. 56. 26 ff. Pistelli. According to Lucian (Biwy mpacis 4) the ‘triangular numbers’ were recognized by Pythagoras himself, 13. utd is surprising when the instances given have been man and horse. Christ conjectures Cgwv xal durdv from Alexander (827. 26), but it is by no means clear that Alexander read this (cf. 826, 35), and it seems more likely that Aristotle uses durdv in its older and wider sense of ‘living being’, which is found in Plato (Soph. 233 8 8, Rep. N. 5. 1092510 —6. 1092 29 495 401 44, Zim.goAa6). Aristotle may be quoting from Archytas’ account of Eurytus, 15-16. 7a 5é 8h wdOn. . . Oepudy.

SHAov is an objection to the second suggested mode (Jl. 13-15); if harmony is a Adyos dpufyav, the numbers are merely the matter, the ratio is the essence. 18. 68 dp.Opds dAy is in verbal contradiction with ovre vAy |. 24, and Schwegler would read tags (cf.

Aristotle’s view, however, is that ap. .0s cwparixds (1. 22) (i.e. amounts of certain simpler forms of matter, numerically determined) is the vAy of a compound, though dpibpuds povaducos (1. 20) is not the vAy of any material thing but only the measure of its constituents; so that both statements are true, though of number in different senses. 19.

If number is in no sense the cause of things, how is it related to them? Aristotle nowhere gives a positive theory of number (the nearest approach is in M. 3), but his answer might be that number is an oixetov 7aOos of their matter. 27. év edhoyiot» means not, as Alexander says, éy dpriy, i.e. in a ratio like 1:2 or 1: 4, but ‘in an easily reckoned ratio’ (illustrated in De Sensu 439° 25—4402 6 by 3:2 and3:4). It excludes (r) ratios of which either term is an irrational, and perhaps also (2) ratios which cannot be expressed in terms of numbers within the series 1-10, 28. év mepitta, in a ratio like that of 1:3 (Alexander) or possibly like that of 2:3 (~:2+41). For the virtues of the odd number according to the Pythagoreans cf. A. 9864 18 n. tpis tpta. The meaning of this difficult phrase is clear from 1. 32. Aristotle supposes the Pythagoreans, when they say tpis dvo, to mean ‘three to two’. When they gave zpis zpéa, then, as the recipe for peAtkpatov, they meant that if you take three parts of honey you must take three parts of the other ingredient (milk in Homeric times, later water). Alexander’s mention of a third ingredient, saffron, seems due to a misinterpretation of zpis tpia; it is contrary to his statements about pAikparov elsewhere and to those of other writers. Cf, Columella xii. 12. 29. év ob8é Adyw. Aristotle does not mean that the constituents 496 COMMENTARY could be in no ratio; he means that the particular ratio does not matter provided there is enough water. 30. axparoy, not of course absolutely dxparov (for then there would be no ratio), but axparéorepor. 30—109371. Aristotle’s statement that ‘3 to 2’, not ‘3 times 2’, is the right way of stating the formula ofa mixture is evidently right. A mixture is got not by taking the same thing over and over again but by taking two or more things in a given ratio. Multiplication means the addition of things of the same kind (1d aird det yévos ctvat év tats rokAarAacuiceow |. 32). If a given kind of body could be properly represented as ABT, i.e. as IX2X 3, it must be ‘measured by A’, i.e. it must consist of a unitary amount of some substance, taken six times. If another kind of body could be properly represented as ABZ, i.e.as 4X5 X17, it must similarly consist of four portions of some substance, taken 35 times. dore rd aird ravra (sc. det perpeio Bar) (1. 35) Seems to mean ‘so that all the things i in whose formula a certain number occurs must consist of a larger or smaller number of portions of a single elemen- tary substance’. It follows that the number of fire cannot be BETZ (2x5xX3%X7) and at the same time the number of water 2x3. 2X5X3X7=6X35, and a unitary amount of fire would simply consist of 35 unitary amounts of water (which Aristotle treats as absurd). 1093*1-1g. There seem to be two arguments used here, (1) ll. 3-9. If all things share in number (this is not a mere concession to the adversary, but is Aristotle’s own view), there is nothing surprising in the fact that some things (e.g. the periods of movement of sun and moon, the periods of the life of animals) should be designated by square and cube numbers, or by numbers related as equal or as double and half to one another. This is no warrant for treating the numbers as the cause of the phenomena. (2) Il. 9-13. It was assumed that different things could fall under the same number. Then, onthe view which is being considered, they will be the same thing, which is absurd. This interpretation involves treating sober te l. 9 asnot depending on «i (Bekker, Bz.) but starting a fresh sentence. re often introduces a new objection (e. g. A. 991 27). 4. For the number of the motions required to account for the motions of the sun and the moon cf. A. 1073? 17, 35. 8. dvdykn év TouTois otpépeo Par, ‘all things must move within these limits’ (i.e. be designable by square or cube, equal or double, numbers); ch, KikXw otpédecOau. 12, The sun and the moon on Aristotle’s view have, each of them, five proper motions (A. 107317, 35), and this makes them a good enough illustration of his meaning. The Pythagoreans themselves assigned dzfferen/ numbers to them (2, 7). 13-» 4. Syrianus says that no important Pythagorean quoted triviali- ties such as those which Aristotle here ridicules, as instances of the power of numbers. He refers to the Pythagorean Prorus as having written about the number 7 (the treatise really belonged in all proba- N. 6. 1092 30 — 10939 24 497 bility to Alexandrian times, Diels, Vors, 267. 22), but says he confined himself to showing how many things ‘nature does in seven years, months, or days’; while others wrote about the number 10. He retorts on Aristotle by pointing out that Aristotle himself does rever- ence to the number 3 in the De Caelo (2684 13), and forcibly reduces the flavours and the colours to seven each (De Sensu 442219). On the number 7 in Greek cultus, mythology, philosophy, and medicine cf. Roscher in Adbh. der phil.-hist. Kl. der K. Sachs. Gesellschaft d. Wissenschaften, vols. xxi, xxiv, esp. xxiv. 24-43 on the Pythagoreans. The numerical fact about 7 which interested the Pythagoreans was that within the decade it alone has neither product nor factor (Philol. fr. 20 Diels). 14. xopdat 7 dppovios (JA*T Al.) is not very natural, since seven chords are very different from seven modes or harmonies.

The epic verse has seventeen syllables, if we assume a spondee only in the last place. Alexander takes év pév 76 ded to mean ‘in the first half of the verse’, and this is confirmed by the fact that ‘ right’ and ‘left’ were technical terms for the first and second parts of a lyric system. The alternative is to suppose that ‘right’ is the part after the caesura xara tpitov tpoxatov, the common- est caesura in Homer; this too has nine syllables. Wilamowitz in Berl. Classthertexte,v. 2. 141, and S. E. Bassett in Class. Phil. xi. 458- 460 defend Alexander’s interpretation of 76 defidv. For the identi- fication of the right with the dépyy of movement cf. H. A. 498° 6, I, A. 70518, De Caelo 285” 16 (cf. 284» 6, where the Pythagoreans are referred to). Bassett quotes many instances to show that 70 defov was used by the metricists of the section of the verse which came first, e.g. Mar. Vict. 108. 16 Keil ‘arma virumque cano... Huius incisioni quae syllaba clauditur, si alteras duas adicias, ut tertium pedem trisyllabon compleas, erit hoc trimetrum defidv’, i.e. the three dactyls at the beginning of the line form the colon dexitrum or dpxrixdv (cf. Mar. Vict. 74. 8 K., Plotius 514. 28 K.). Further, Aristotle would naturally mention the first half of the line first. And, finally, BatveoOar refers not to caesura but to scansion in feet. The earliest Greek definition of caesura is in Aristides Quintilianus (p. 52 Meibom), in the second or third century a. p. b 2-4. The meaning is that there are 24 notes on the flute, from the BouBvé (an onomatopoeic word for the deepest note) to the highest. guwvny is to be supplied with 6gvrarnv. 4. js. 24 is reckoned as the number of the highest note, so that Diels’s ois is unnecessary. ioos TH odAopeneta, Alexander suggests that the number of the uni- verse is 24 because there are 12 signs of the zodiac, 8 spheres (i. e. the sphere of the fixed stars and those of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Sun, Moon) and 4 elements. ovAouéAea is an Ionic word meaning the whole nature of a thing (uéAos = limb) ;_ cf. Hipp. De Artic. iv. 108 L., De Anatom. viii. 540, De Gland. viii. 556, N. 6. 10932 26 — 1093 14 499 De Nutr. ix. 106. Here, however, there is probably a reference to the music of the spheres, cf. A. 9864 2 f. (uéAos = tune), Nicom. ap. Phot. Bzd/. 14425 says it was used as a name for the number -7, and in Theol.

Their view that numbers are the causes of good and evil evaporates on examination ; but they make it clear that in some sense the good ‘ belongs’ to certain numbers. The seasons of the year and of life go ‘together’ with certain numbers. There is an analogical relation between things in different ‘categories’ (loosely used here for genera), whereby oddness _in number may correspond to straightness in a line, evenness in a surface, and perhaps even to good in things which can® be either good or evil.

It is doubtful whether this means the ‘ powers’, in the mathematical sense (cf. A, 1019” 34, @. 104628, De Lin.

Alexander gives the second interpretation, and illustrates éviéwy by TEeTpPAyOVUY, TpLrywovev (numbers like 1, 3 (Ee 1+2), 6 (= I+et+ 3)), eayovov (numbers like 1, 6 (= 1+5), 15 (=1+5+9)). dua yap Opar Kal dpi6pds tovogdi, ‘for the seasons and a certain kind of number (the square number 4) go together’, There may also be a reference to the comparison, ascribed by Aristides Quintilianus (Musica, iii, p. 145 Meib.) to Pythagoras, of the seasons to the con- Kka 500 COMMENTARY cords; spring is to autumn the fourth, spring to winter the fifth, spring to summer the octave, so that the four seasons are to one another as 6, 8, 9, 12.

It is not Idea-numbers but ordinary mathematicalnumbers that are at the base of musical harmony and the like, for equal Idea-numbers, like Idea-units, differ in kind (M. 6-8), whereas the theory of harmony implies that equal numbers are identical. 22-23.

From the fact that Plato treated the different numbers as different in kind Aristotle infers that the units were also different in kind, and from this that equal numbers composed of different units were different in kind. 27.
