Persian, because it is farther from the present),CG Menn Mountaineer Jakke, others by being nearer the present, i.e. in the case of future events (for the Nemean games are prior to the Pythian, if we treat the present as beginning and first point, because they are nearer the present).-Other things are prior in movement; for that which is nearer the first mover is prior (e.g. the boy is prior to the man); and the prime mover also is a beginning absolutely.-Others are prior in power; for that which exceeds in power,Chaussures Nike TN Femme, i.e. the more powerful,Chaussures New Balance 576, is prior; and such is that according to whose will the other-i.e. the posterior-must follow,PJS Dameklær Alaska Parkas, so that if the prior does not set it in motion the other does not move, and if it sets it in motion it does move; and here will is a beginning.-Others are prior in arrangement; these are the things that are placed at intervals in reference to some one definite thing according to some rule, e.g. in the chorus the second man is prior to the third, and in the lyre the second lowest string is prior to the lowest; for in the one case the leader and in the other the middle string is the beginning.
These, then,Canada Goose Hybridge Jackor, are called prior in this sense, but (2) in another sense that which is prior for knowledge is treated as also absolutely prior; of these,Belstaff Kobiety Kurtki, the things that are prior in definition do not coincide with those that are prior in relation to perception. For in definition universals are prior, in relation to perception individuals. And in definition also the accident is prior to the whole, e.g. ‘musical’ to ‘musical man’, for the definition cannot exist as a whole without the part; yet musicalness cannot exist unless there is some one who is musical.
(3) The attributes of prior things are called prior, e.g. straightness is prior to smoothness; for one is an attribute of a line as such, and the other of a surface.
Some things then are called prior and posterior in this sense, others (4) in respect of nature and substance, i.e. those which can be without other things,Maillot Griezmann Pas Cher, while the others cannot be without them,-a distinction which Plato used. (If we consider the various senses of ‘being’, firstly the subject is prior, so that substance is prior; secondly, according as potency or complete reality is taken into account,Ralph Lauren Halsduk, different things are prior,CG Menn Lodge Down Jakke Norge Salg, for some things are prior in respect of potency,Blackwater Quilted Gilet, others in respect of complete reality, e.g. in potency the half line is prior to the whole line, and the part to the whole, and the matter to the concrete substance, but in complete reality these are posterior; for it is only when the whole has been dissolved that they will exist in complete reality.) In a sense,Buty Jordan Retro 9, therefore, all things that are called prior and posterior are so called with reference to this fourth sense; for some things can exist without others in respect of generation, e.g. the whole without the parts,Chaussures Nike Air Max 2013 Femme, and others in respect of dissolution, e.g. the part without the whole. And the same is true in all other cases.
