stroyed, and is, without qualification, capable of separate existence; for of substances completely expressible in a formula some are separable and some are separable and some are not.
But clearly matter also is substance; for in all the opposite changes that occur there is something which underlies the changes, e.g. in respect of place that which is now here and again elsewhere, and in respect of increase that which is now of one size and again less or greater, and in respect of alteration that which is now healthy and again diseased; and similarly in respect of substance there is something that is now being generated and again being destroyed, and now underlies the process as a ‘this’ and again underlies it in respect of a privation of positive character. And in this change the others are involved. But in either one or two of the others this is not involved; for it is not necessary if a thing has matter for change of place that it should also have matter for generation and destruction.
The difference between becoming in the full sense and becoming in a qualified sense has been stated in our physical works.
Book VIII Chapter 2
Since the substance which exists as underlying and as matter is generally recognized, and this that which exists potentially, it remains for us to say what is the substance, in the sense of actuality, of sensible things. Democritus seems to think there are three kinds of difference between things; the underlying body, USA Dame Fodboldtrøjer the matter, is one and the same, but they differ either in rhythm, i.e. shape, or in turning, i.e. position, or in inter-contact, i.e. order. But evidently there are many Russia Fodboldtrøjer differences; for instance, some things are Kroatien Fodboldtrøjer characterized by the mode of Dzieci Moncler Kamizelka composition of their matter, e.g. the things formed by blending, such as honey-water; and others by being bound together, e.g. bundle; New Zealand Pelipaidat and others by being glued together, e.g. a book; and others by being nailed together, e.g. a casket; and others in more than one FC Proto of these ways; and others by position, e.g. threshold and lintel (for these differ by being placed in a Psg Børn Fodboldtrøjer certain way); and others Benfica Fodboldtrøjer by time, e.g. dinner and breakfast; and others by place, Turkki e.g. the winds; and others by the affections proper to sensible things, e.g. hardness and 2017 Northface Naiset Takki softness, density and rarity, dryness and wetness; and some things by some of these qualities, others by them all, and Uruguay Pelipaidat in general some by excess PJS Naiset Dodie 6 and some by defect. Clearly, then, the word ‘is’ has just as many meanings; a thing is a threshold because it lies in such and such a position, and its being means its lying in that position, while being ice means having been solidified in such and such a way. And the being of some things will be defined by all these qualities, because some parts of them are mixed, others are blended, others are bound together, others are solidified, and others use the other differentiae; e.g. the hand or the foot requires such complex definition. We must grasp, then, the kinds of differentiae (for these will be the principles of the being of things), e.g. the things chalinks:
