ANALYSIS OF CONTENTS 



Chap. I. The origin of all movement must itself be un- 

 moved. So if there is to be animal movement, something 

 in the animal must be at rest. Hence joints are necessary.

 moving animal. Illustration from the rowing of a boat. 



III. The nature of the " prime mover." The fable of 

 Atlas.

 universe. The movement of inanimate things must 

 originate from animate things. 



V. Alteration, growth, generation and corruption as 

 forms of motion.

 ment lies in the sphere of action. Its limitation in com- 

 parison with eternal movement.

 action, not of the speculative syllogism. Animal move- 

 ment compared with that of automatic toys. 



VIII. ITie psychology of animal movement and the 

 organic changes which accompany it. The cause of move- 

 ment must be situated in a definite origin.

 simultaneously : both are moved by the soul.
