"The Metaphysics of Aristotle," translated from the Greek, stands as a cornerstone of Western philosophical thought. In this seminal work, Aristotle delves into the fundamental principles of being, existence, and reality, exploring concepts such as substance, essence, potentiality, and actuality. His inquiries into first causes and the nature of God have profoundly influenced metaphysics, theology, and science for millennia.
This edition offers readers access to Aristotle's original ideas, presented in a clear and accessible translation. Exploring questions that remain central to philosophical discourse today, "The Metaphysics" invites readers to grapple with the nature of reality and the foundations of knowledge. Its enduring relevance ensures its place as a vital text for students, scholars, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the world.
