case to medical science, in the other to health, in others to
something else, but in each case to one identical concept. For a
discussion and a knife are called medical because the former
proceeds from medical science, and the latter is useful to it. And a
thing is called healthy in a similar way; one thing because it is
indicative of health, another because it is productive of it. And
the same is true in the other cases. Everything that is, then, is said
to 'be' in this same way; each thing that is is said to 'be' because
it is a modification of being qua being or a permanent or a
transient state or a movement of it, or something else of the sort.
And since everything that is may be referred to something single and
common, each of the contrarieties also may be referred to the first
differences and contrarieties of being, whether the first
differences of being are plurality and unity, or likeness and
unlikeness, or some other differences; let these be taken as already
discussed. It makes no difference whether that which is be referred to
being or to unity. For even if they are not the same but different, at
least they are convertible; for that which is one is also somehow
being, and that which is being is one
