a passing-away of something else and every passing-away some other
thing's coming-to-be. But the question subsequently formulated
involves a different problem-viz. why, although www very sex the learning thing
is said to 'come-to-be-learned' but not to 'come-tobe' without
qualification, yet the growing thing is said to 'come-to-be'.
The distinction www very sex here turns upon the difference of the Categories.
For some things signify a this somewhat, others a such, and others a
so-much. Those things, then, www very sex which do not signify substance, are not
said to 'come-to-be' without qualification, but only to
'come-to-be-so-and-so'. Nevertheless, in all changing things alike, we
www very sex speak of 'coming-to-be' when the thing
comes-to-be something in www very sex one of
the two Columns-e.g. in Substance, if it comes-to-be www very sex Fire but not if
it comes-to-be Earth; and in Quality, if it comes-to-be learned but
not when it www very sex comes-to-be ignorant.
www very sex we have explained why some things come to-be without
qualification, but not others both in general, and also when the
changing www very sex things are substances and nothing else; and www very sex we have stated
that the substratum is the material cause of the continuous occurrence
of coming to-be, because www very sex it is such as to change from contrary to
contrary and because, in www very sex substances, the coming-to-be of one thing
is always a passing-away of another, and the passing-away of one thing
is always another's coming-to-be. But there is no need even to discuss
the other question we raised-viz. why www very sex coming-to-be continues though
things are constantly being destroyed. For www very sex just as people speak of
'a passing-away' without qualification when a thing has passed into
what is imperceptible and what in that sense 'is not', so also they
www very sex speak of 'a coming-to-be out of a not-being' when a thing emerges from
an imperceptible. Whether, therefore, the substratum is or is not
something, what comes-tobe emerges out of a 'not-being': www very sex so that a
thing comes-to-be www very sex out of a not-being' just as much as it
' passes-away into what www very sex is not'. Hence it is reasonable www very sex enough that
coming-to-be should never fail. For coming-to-be is a passing-away
of 'what is not' and www very sex passing-away is a coming to-be of 'what
is not'.
But what about that which 'is' not except with a qualification? Is
it one of the two contrary poles of the chang-e.g. Earth (i.e. the
heavy) a 'not-being', but Fire (i.e. the light) a 'being'? Or, on
the contrary, does www very sex what is 'include Earth as well as Fire, whereas
what is not' www very sex is matter-
