spoken of the principles in this way, and made them of this number. Leucippus and his associate Democritus say that the full and the empty are the elements, calling the one being and the other non-being-the full and solid being Moncler Naiset pitkä untuvatakki being, the empty non-being (whence they say being no more is than non-being, because the solid Jakub Kindl Jersey no more is than the empty); and they make these the material causes of things. And as those who make the underlying substance one generate all other things by its modifications, supposing the NHL Mens Calgary Flames Pond Hockey Pullover Hoodie - Black rare and the dense to be the sources of the modifications, in the same way these philosophers say the differences in the elements are the Dave Keon Jersey causes of all other qualities. These differences, they say, are three-shape and order and Belstaff Let Bomber Kurtki position. For they say the real is differentiated only by ‘rhythm and ‘inter-contact’ and ‘turning’; and of these rhythm is shape, inter-contact is order, and turning is position; for A differs from N in shape, AN from NA in order, M from W in position. The question of movement-whence or how it is to belong to things-these thinkers, like the others, lazily neglected.
Regarding the two causes, then, as we say, the inquiry seems to have been pushed thus far by the early philosophers.
Book I Chapter 5
Contemporaneously with these philosophers and before them, the so-called Pythagoreans, who were Simon Despres Jersey the first to take up mathematics, not only advanced this study, but also having been brought up in it they thought its principles were the principles of all things. Since of these principles numbers are by nature the first, and in numbers they seemed to see many resemblances to the things that exist and come into being-more than in fire and earth and water (such and such a modification of numbers being justice, another being soul and reason, another being opportunity-and similarly almost all other things being numerically expressible); since, again, they saw that the modifications and the ratios of the musical scales were expressible in numbers;-since, then, all other things seemed Washington Capitals Jerseys in their whole nature to be modelled on numbers, and numbers seemed to be the first things in the whole of nature, they supposed the elements of numbers to be the elements of all things, and the whole heaven to be a musical scale and a number. And all the properties of numbers and scales which they could show to agree with the attributes and parts and Brock Nelson Jersey the whole arrangement of the heavens, they collected and fitted into their scheme; and if there was a David Krejci Jersey gap anywhere, they readily made Ray Bourque Jersey additions so as to make their whole theory coherent. E.g. as the number 10 is thought to be perfect and Benoit Pouliot Jersey to comprise the whole nature of New York Rangers Jersey numbers, they say that the bodies which move through the heavens are ten, but as the visible bodies are only nine, to meet this they invent a tenth — the ‘counter-earth’. We have discussed these matters more exactly elsewhere.
But the object of our review is that we may learn from these philosophers also what they suppose to be the principles and how these fall under the causes we have nlinks:
