we make. For we make it out of brass and the sphere; we bring the form into this particular matter, and the result is a brazen sphere. But if the essence of sphere in general is to be produced, something must be produced out of something. For the product will always have to be divisible, and one part must be this and another that; I mean the one must be matter and the other form. If, then, a sphere is ‘the figure whose circumference is at all points equidistant from the centre’, part of this will be the medium in which the thing made will be, and part will be in that medium, and the whole will be the thing produced, which corresponds to the brazen sphere. It is obvious, then, from what has been said,Chaussures New Balance 999, that that which is spoken of as form or substance is not produced, but the concrete thing which gets its name from this is produced,Mężczyźni Barbour Quilted Kurtka, and that in everything which is generated matter is present, and one part of the thing is matter and the other form.
Is there,Miehet Cg Borden Bomber Suomi, then, a sphere apart from the individual spheres or a house apart from the bricks? Rather we may say that no ‘this’ would ever have been coming to be, if this had been so, but that the ‘form’ means the ‘such’, and is not a ‘this’-a definite thing; but the artist makes, or the father begets, a ‘such’ out of a ‘this’; and when it has been begotten, it is a ‘this such’. And the whole ‘this’,Barn Moncler Vest Norge Salg, Callias or Socrates,Dame Moncler Lans Norge Salg, is analogous to ‘this brazen sphere’,[url=http://www.le-guide-du-nord-pas-de-calais.fr/serie-a-c-244/#PasCher">Serie A Pas Cher[/url], but man and animal to ‘brazen sphere’ in general. Obviously, then, the cause which consists of the Forms (taken in the sense in which some maintain the existence of the Forms, i.e. if they are something apart from the individuals) is useless, at least with regard to comings-to-be and to substances; and the Forms need not, for this reason at least, be self-subsistent substances. In some cases indeed it is even obvious that the begetter is of the same kind as the begotten (not,Belstaff Gangster Mit Kurtki, however, the same nor one in number,Belstaff Knockhill Jackor, but in form), i.e. in the case of natural products (for man begets man), unless something happens contrary to nature, e.g. the production of a mule by a horse. (And even these cases are similar; for that which would be found to be common to horse and ass, the genus next above them,Belstaff Brian Długo Kurtki, has not received a name, but it would doubtless be both in fact something like a mule.) Obviously, therefore,Dame Moncler Mari Norge Salg, it is quite unnecessary to set up a Form as a pattern (for we should have looked for Forms in these cases if in any; for these are substances if anything is so); the begetter is adequate to the making of the product and to the causing of the form in the matter. And when we have the whole,Ralph Lauren Barn, such and such a form in this flesh and in these bones, this is Callias or Socrates; and they are different in virtue of their matter (for that is different),Belstaff New Albatros Jackor, but the same in form; for their form is indivisible.
Book VII Chapter 9
The question might be raised, why some things are produced spontaneously as well as by art, e.g. health, while others are not, e.g. a house. The reason is that in some cas
