LessonsThe Five Predicables: Differentia, Property, Common Accident, Essential and Accidental AttributesQuiz

فصل: العرض المفارق - أعني ما يمكن انفكاكه عن المعروض - أيضا قسمان:
Separable accident—an accident capable of separating from its subject—is divided into two kinds: one persists with its subject under relevant external circumstances; the other ceases, either quickly or slowly.

Quickly ceasing: a moving object's motion comes to an end.
Slowly changing: some bodily characteristics alter between youth and old age.

An accident's persisting for a long period is not the same as its being logically inseparable. The key distinction remains whether separation is possible.
