if it is said if our doctrine is known the problem is removed for existents are divided into those that are in a place such as accidents and forms and those that are not in a place. this is divided into those that are in a place for others such as bodies and those that are not in a place such as existents that are substances existing by themselves. these are divided into those that affect bodies which we call souls and those that do not affect bodies but rather souls which we call abstract intellects. as for existents that reside in a place such as accidents they are created and have created causes and they end in a principle that is created in one respect and permanent in another and it is the periodic motion and there is no discussion of it.
فإن قيل إذا عرف مذهبنا اندفع الإشكال، فإن الموجودات تنقسم إلى ما هي في محال كالأعراض والصور وإلى ما ليست في محال، وهذا ينقسم إلى ما هي محال لغيرها كالأجسام وإلى ما ليست بمحال كالموجودات التي هي جواهر قائمة بأنفسها، وهي تنقسم إلى ما يؤثر في الأجسام ونسميها نفوسا وإلى ما لا يؤثر في الأجسام بل في النفوس ونسميها عقولا مجردة. أما الموجودات التي تحل في المحال كالأعراض فهي حادثة ولها علل حادثة وتنتهي إلى مبدأ هو حادث من وجه دائم من وجه، وهي الحركة الدورية وليس الكلام فيها.
