It is asked concerning another position, whether it is valid	344
(It is asked concerning that same conclusion in the motion of increase) original: "augmenti". This refers to growth in size or quantity, distinguished from change in quality or place.	345
It is asked concerning that same conclusion in the motion of alteration original: "alterationis". Alteration is a change in quality, such as an object turning from cold to hot.	347
It is asked concerning what the author says: A quality alters in that which is sensible; it alters the contrary by sending in a form* alone* original: "speciem". In medieval science, a "species" or form is a likeness emitted by an object that allows it to be perceived by the senses.	349
(It is asked whether a sensible object alters its contrary by sending in a form alone)	351
It is asked in which species of quality alteration resides Aristotle identified four "species" or types of quality: habits and dispositions, natural capacities, affective qualities, and shape or form.	353
It is asked whether the habit of the practical intellect is acquired through alteration The practical intellect is the mind's ability to reason about actions and morals, as opposed to pure theory.	354
It is asked whether there is alteration regarding qualities belonging to the speculative intellect The speculative intellect is the mind's ability to contemplate abstract truths and necessary principles.	355
It is asked whether there is alteration in the second species of quality	357
It is asked whether there is alteration in the third species of quality	358
It is asked whether there is alteration in the fourth species of quality	359
It is asked concerning these three things which the author touches upon at the end of the seventh book regarding the comparison of motions: whether they are univocal, whether they concern the same subject, or whether they share in an indivisible species original: "univoca" and "specie athoma". Univocal terms have the same name and the same meaning. An indivisible species is the most specific category possible.	361
It is asked whether a genus is univocal in relation to its species original: "unius MS." A marginal note in the source indicates one manuscript uses the word "one" here instead of "genus."	365
It is asked whether circular and straight motion can be compared	367
(It is asked concerning what the author says: if any power, etc.)	368
It is asked concerning what the author says, that parts are either nothing or exist potentially in the whole	369

(THE QUESTIONS UPON THE EIGHTH BOOK OF THE PHYSICS BEGIN)

It is asked whether motion is eternal from the beginning	377
It is asked whether time is eternal	379
(It is asked whether the world has an end)	382
It is asked whether motion has an end	383
It is asked whether time is perpetual at the end	385
It is asked whether the author agrees that motion is eternal	386
It is asked whether he says that motion has an end	388
