- heterogeneous; foreign to the nature
Meaning
Form.
The neuter adjective denotes what has acceded to a body without belonging to the sought nature and should be separated in the author’s purification account. It pairs with joining pure to pure, cooked to cooked and raw to raw according to nature’s weight. The criticism is not simply of any mixture: it targets incompatible additions that frustrate a specific natural conjunction.
