LessonsAccidents: Definition, Categories and the Beginning of the Origination ArgumentQuiz

أما الأعيان فإنها لا تخلو عن الحوادث، وكل ما لا يخلو عن الحوادث فهو حادث
Substances are not free from originated states; and whatever cannot be free of originated states is itself originated.

The classical inference takes this form:
Premise 1: A body or substance is always associated with some originated spatial or qualitative state.
Premise 2: Whatever cannot exist apart from such originated states is itself originated.
Conclusion: Substances are originated; since accidents are also argued to be originated, the world in this classification is originated.

This is the structure of the argument, not yet a full defense of each premise. The universality of “cannot be free” and the entailment “therefore originated” demand independent examination.
