The Latin phrase 'sine qua non' may be taken to mean '[a condition] without which it could not be'. The word-by-word translation is the following: 'sine' means 'without'; 'qua' means 'which'; and 'non' means 'not'. It therefore is an 'indspensable and essential action, condition or ingredient'. And so the statement says that human life is impossible without matter.
