Description
Aristotle's Metaphysics explores fundamental questions about reality and existence. This foundational work of philosophy examines the nature of substance, potentiality, and actuality, and delves into the relationship between metaphysics and other sciences. The treatise is structured around key philosophical issues, including a refutation of skepticism, a demonstration of God's existence, and an examination of the infinite. Aristotle's dialectical method, which relies on reliable opinions rather than known truths, provides a unique approach to understanding these complex concepts. This edition offers a comprehensive introduction to classical metaphysics, making it an ideal choice for readers seeking to understand the principles of philosophy that have shaped Western thought.
