lib. II, 412a3—112 Ἐοεὶ δὲ τὰ παραδεδομένα περὶ ψυχῆς παρὰ τῶν ἄλλων, ἐφʼ ὅσον ἕκαστος ἀπεφήνατο τῶν πρότερον, εἴρηται σχεδόν, νῦν ὥσπερ ἐξ ἀρχῆς πάλιν ἐπανίωμεν, πειρώμενοι διορίσαι τί ἐστιν ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τίς ἂν εἴη λόγος αὐτῆς κοινότατος· χωρίζομεν δὴ τὰς μὲν οὐσίας ἀπὸ τῶν ὄντων τῶν ἄλλων· τῆς δὲ οὐσίας τὸ μὲν ὡς ὕλην λέγεσθαι τίθεμεν, ὅ καθʼ αὐτὸ οὐκ ἔστι τόδε τι, τὸ δὲ ἡ μορφή, τὸ δʼ ἐκ τούτων. ἔστι δʼ ἡ μὲν ὕλη δυνάμει, τὸ δʼ εἶδος ἐντελέχεια, αὕτη δʼ ὑπάρχει διχῶς, ἢ γὰρ ὡς ἡ ἐπιστήμη, ἢ ὡς τὸ θεωρεῖν. οὐσίαι δὲ μάλιστα δοκοῦσιν εἶναι τὰ σώματα, καὶ τούτων τὰ φυσικά·
