I. THE FUNCTION OF SvV^urov UveCfia IN GIVING

The move- ( 1 ) 



ment of 

 animals is 

 ako caused

 mover. 



Comparison (3) 



and contrast 



of animal 



movement 



with that 



of the 



universe. 



M.A. 700 b 15 if., De anima III. 433 b 11 if. All the 

 various stimuli (such as intellect, imagination, purpose, 

 wish, appetite, sensation) which " move " animals are 

 reducible to mind and desire {vovs and ope^is) ; hence the 

 TrpwTov Kivovv of animals is the object of intellect and 

 the object of desire (to opeKrov koX to SiavorfTov). And 

 the npcoTov KI.VOVV Kivel ov kivov /xevov, in virtue of being 

 apprehended in thought or imagination : it is, in fact, 

 TO -npaKTov ayadov, the good which can be attained in the 

 field of action. We thus have first (1) the object of desire, 

 TO opeKTov, which Kivel ov Kivovfievov ; next (2) is desire 

 itself, ope^Ls (or to opcktlkov, the faculty of desire), and 

 this KLvei Kivovfievov ; last (3) is the animal, which is a 

 Kivovfxevov ov kwovv — it gets moved without causing any 

 further movement : it is the last term in the series. 

 M.A. 700 b 30. Thus it is evident that in one respect 

 every animal gets set in movement (Kivdrai) in the same 

 manner as that in which the ael KivovpLfvov gets " moved " 

 by the del kivovv (which Kivet cos epajfievov ; see App. A 

 § 3) ; in another respect, however, there is a difference, 

 for it is not " moved " det, but its every movement has a 

 limit. This limit is to ov eveKu, the purpose aimed at by 

 the movement, and when the purpose is achieved the 

 movement ceases.
