ition. This fact is always clearer in the case of the later products of those, in fact, that are instruments, as it were, and have an end: it is clearer, for instance, that a dead man is a man only in name. And so the hand of a dead man,Muži Barbour Cranwell Bunda, too, will in the same way be a hand in name only, just as stone flutes might still be called flutes: for these members, too, are instruments of a kind. But in the case of flesh and bone the fact is not so clear to see, and in that of fire and water even less. For the end is least obvious there where matter predominates most. If you take the extremes,Fiorentina Drakt, matter is pure matter and the essence is pure definition; but the bodies intermediate between the two are matter or definition in proportion as they are near to either. For each of those elements has an end and is not water or fire in any and every condition of itself,Manu Ginobili Drakter, just as flesh is not flesh nor viscera viscera, and the same is true in a higher degree with face and hand. What a thing is always determined by its function: a thing really is itself when it can perform its function; an eye, for instance, when it can see. When a thing cannot do so it is that thing only in name,Shinji Kagawa Drakt, like a dead eye or one made of stone, just as a wooden saw is no more a saw than one in a picture. The same,Germany Drakt, then, is true of flesh, except that its function is less clear than that of the tongue. So, too,Moncler Marmelade, with fire; but its function is perhaps even harder to specify by physical inquiry than that of flesh. The parts of plants, and inanimate bodies like copper and silver, are in the same case. They all are what they are in virtue of a certain power of action or passion-just like flesh and sinew. But we cannot state their form accurately,New England Revolution Drakt, and so it is not easy to tell when they are really there and when they are not unless the body is thoroughly corrupted and its shape only remains. So ancient corpses suddenly become ashes in the grave and very old fruit preserves its shape only but not its taste: so, too, with the solids that form from milk.
Now heat and cold and the motions they set up as the bodies are solidified by the hot and the cold are sufficient to form all such parts as are the homogeneous bodies, flesh, bone,AC Milan Drakt Barn, hair, sinew, and the rest. For they are all of them differentiated by the various qualities enumerated above, tension,Parajumpers Damen Harraseeket Jacken Schweiz, tractility, comminuibility, hardness,Southampon Drakt, softness, and the rest of them: all of which are derived from the hot and the cold and the mixture of their motions. But no one would go as far as to consider them sufficient in the case of the non-homogeneous parts (like the head,Kashima Antlers Drakt, the hand, or the foot) which these homogeneous parts go to make up. Cold and heat and their motion would be admitted to account for the formation of copper or silver, but not for that of a saw, a bowl, or a box. So here, save that in the examples given the cause is art,Classic Czyścibut 5899, but in the nonhomogeneous bodies nature or some other cause.
Since, then, we know to what element each of the homogeneous bodies belongs, we must now find the definition of each of them, the answer, th
