All living things strive for completion and self-fulfillment. The independent is better than the dependent. The natural is better than the artificial. Forms are grasped by the mind through observation of concrete things.
Activity is better than passivity.
Circular motion is better than linear motion. Enlivened matter is better than lifeless matter. The human soul is non-material, but depends upon the body. Rest, not motion, is the natural state of things. Science is general rather than particular knowledge.
