e and prior? The axioms are most universal and Washington Redskins Barn are principles of all things. And if it is not the business of the philosopher, to whom else will it belong to inquire what is true and what is untrue about them?
(3) In general, do all substances fall under one science or under more than one? If the latter, to what sort of substance is the present science to be assigned?-On the other hand, it is not reasonable that one science should deal with all. For then there would be one demonstrative science dealing with all attributes. For ever demonstrative science investigates with regard to some subject its essential attributes, starting from the common beliefs. Therefore to investigate the essential attributes of one class of things, starting from one set of beliefs, is the business of one science. For the subject belongs to one science, and the premisses belong to one, whether to the same or to another; so that the attributes do so too, whether they are investigated by these sciences or by one compounded out of them.
(5) Further, does our investigation deal with substances alone or also with their attributes? I mean for instance, if the solid is a substance and so are lines and planes, is it the business of the same science to know these and to know the attributes of each of these classes (the attributes about which the mathematical sciences offer proofs), or Scarpe Nike Air Max Uomo of a different science? If of the same, the science of substance also must be a demonstrative science, but it is thought that there is no demonstration of the Aston Villa Barn essence of things. And if of another, what will be the science that investigates the attributes of substance? This is a very difficult question.
(4) Further, must we say that sensible substances alone exist, or that there are others besides these? And are substances of one kind or are there in fact several kinds of substances, as those say who assert the existence both of the Forms and of the intermediates, with which they say the mathematical sciences deal?-The sense in which we say the Forms are both causes and self-dependent substances has been explained in our first remarks about them; while the theory presents difficulties in many ways, the most paradoxical thing of all is the statement that there are certain things besides those in the material universe, and that these are the same as sensible things except that they are eternal while the latter Maillot SS Lazio Pas CHer are perishable. For they say there is a man-himself and Scarpe Nike Lunar Donna a horse-itself and health-itself, with no further qualification,-a procedure like that of the people who said there are gods, but in human form. For they were positing nothing but eternal men, nor are the Platonists making the Forms anything other than eternal sensible things.
Further, if we are to posit besides the Forms and the sensibles the intermediates Chicago Blackhawks Barn between them, we shall have many difficulties. For clearly on the same principle there will be Scarpe Nike Air Max 87 Donna lines besides the lines-themselves and the sensible lines, and so with each of the other classes of things; so that since astronomy is one of these math |
