Mother-in-law, what is meant by the term
Motion
Animal motion is not uniform
Circular motion is prior to all local ones
Definition of motion
Duplex motion
Every motion has a contrary rest and motion
is a certain reason, and the action of the thing being moved at the time in which it is moved
is also perfect act
It alone can be continuous
It can be infinite
It cannot be compared to a straight one
local motion is prior to generation and corruption
local motion is prior to qualitative generation
Local motion is threefold
Local motions are properly three simple ones
Motion according to place is the first of all motions
Motion according to place, of what kind
Motion is a certain passive act of that which is in potentiality
Motion is an imperfect act
Motion is considered in four categories
Motion is equivocal
Motion is not in that which moves, but in that which is moved
Motion is opposed to motion in one way, and to rest in another way
Motion is out of opposites and takes place into opposites
Motion is the same as both action and passion
Motions are opposed to motions and to rests, and again, those rests themselves are opposed to one another by reason of contrary places, qualities and quantities
Motions differing in genus
Motions differing in number
Motions differing in species
No motion upon a straight line is infinite
Principles of motions: God, soul, and nature
Rectilinear motion, in so far as it is contrary to the same
Rectilinear motion, in so far as it is not contrary to circular
The category of motion
The end and the beginning in motion are devoid of divisions
The natural motion of a simple body is simple
Things that are moved upon a straight line are moved non-uniformly
To every motion that is one in number, both the rest preceding the motion and the rest following the motion are repugnant
What continuous motion is
What contrary motions are
What kind of entelechy motion is
What to be in motion is
