something that shares its name. (Natural objects xxx cartoon and other things both
rank as substances.) For things
come into being either by art or by
nature or by xxx cartoon luck xxx cartoon or by spontaneity. Now art is a principle of
movement in something other than xxx cartoon the thing moved, nature is a
principle in the thing itself (for man xxx cartoon begets man), and the other
causes are privations of these two.
There are three kinds of substance-the matter, which is a 'this'

head; for these are all matter, and the last matter is the matter of
that which is in the full sense substance); the nature, which is a
'this' or positive xxx cartoon state towards which movement takes place; and
again, thirdly, the particular xxx cartoon substance which is composed of these
two, e.g. Socrates or Callias. Now in
some cases the 'this' does xxx cartoon not
exist apart from xxx cartoon the composite substance, xxx cartoon e.g. the xxx cartoon form of house
does not so exist, unless the art of xxx cartoon building exists apart (nor is
there generation and destruction of these forms, but it is xxx cartoon in
another way that the house apart from its matter, and health, and
all ideals of art, exist and do not exist); but if the 'this' exists
apart from the concrete thing, it is only in the case of natural
objects. And so Plato was not far wrong when he said that there are as
many Forms as there are kinds of natural object (if there are Forms
