ite, and then the other colours are observed to be produced out of this and black, and black is the privation of white, as darkness of light. Therefore if all existent things were colours, existent things would have been a number, indeed, but of what? Clearly of colours; and the ‘one’ would have been a Sweter particular ‘one’, i.e. white. And similarly if all existing things were tunes, they would have been a number, but a number of quarter-tones, and Nicklas Backstrom Jersey their essence would not have been number; and the one would have been something whose substance was not to be UGG Classic Cardy one but to be the quarter-tone. And similarly if all Nike Air Presto kengät existent things had Teemu Selanne Jersey been articulate sounds, they would have been a number of letters, and the one would have been a vowel. And if all existent things were rectilinear figures, they would have been a number of figures, and the one would have been the triangle. And the same argument applies to all other classes. Since, therefore, while there are numbers and a one both in affections and in qualities and in quantities and in movement, in all cases the number is a number of particular things and the one is one something, and Tie Domi Jersey its substance is not just to be one, the same must be true of substances also; for it is true of all cases alike.
That the one, then, in every class is a definite thing, and in no case is its nature just this, unity, is evident; but as in colours the one-itself which we must seek is one colour, so too in substance the one-itself is one substance. That in a sense unity means the same as being is clear from the facts that its meanings correspond to the categories one to one, and it is not comprised within any category (e.g. it is comprised neither in ‘what a thing is’ Gordie Howe Jersey nor in quality, but is related to them just as being is); that in ‘one man’ nothing more is predicated than in ‘man’ (just as being is nothing apart from substance or quality or quantity); and that to be one is just to be a particular thing.
Book X Chapter 3
The one and the many are opposed in several ways, of which one is the opposition of the one and plurality as indivisible and divisible; for Classic Tall Lace Czyścibut 5230 that which is either divided or divisible is called a plurality, and that which is indivisible or not New Cardy Škornji 3177 divided is called one. Now since Pteris Short Škornji 5831 opposition is of four kinds, and one of these two Nike Air Max 97 Herrar Skór terms is privative in meaning, they must be contraries, and neither contradictory nor correlative in meaning. And the one derives its name and its explanation from its contrary, the indivisible from the divisible, because plurality and the divisible is more perceptible than the indivisible, so that in definition plurality is prior to the indivisible, because of the conditions of perception.
To the one belong, as we indicated graphically in our distinction of the contraries, the same and the like and the equal, and to plurality belong the other and the unlike and the unequal. ‘The same’ has several meanings; (1) we sometimes mean ‘the same numerically’; again, (2) we call a thing the same Chris Kreider Jersey if it is one both in definition and in numbelinks:
