Not illustrated. 1875 edition. Excerpt: ... nizance of sight or touch. The act of thought belongs to a totally different sphere. Further, there is no change of the nature of the mind in the exercise of thought--in the realisation of the power--nothing equivalent to transmutation, as in physical causality. Aristotle saw this long ago. He allowed dAAoiWis, transmutation, in physical sequences; he properly denied that it extended to mind. The conceptions indicated by Swa/xis and ivipyna ground the whole philosophy of Aristotle. He shows himself well aware of the difficulties connected with the very notion of primary organic development, and ascribes the impulse to a kind of indwelling soul or mind; yuY' ecrrtv evreXeeia 'rj wputrr rtopM.r0S tpvcrtKOv Swd/jiei (wrjv lovros. (De Anima, II., i.) "The vital principle is the first form of a natural body having life in potence "--that is, capable of realising life. His whole views on this point are immensely in advance of certain current physical conceptions. Trendelenburg, in his learned note on this chapter, fully explains Svvapus, ivreXeeia, and ivepyeia.
