Brief Overview
Aristotle's «Metaphysics» is a philosophical treatise that explores fundamental questions of being, essence, and the nature of reality. The book is composed of fourteen sections in which Aristotle examines concepts such as substance, causality, potentiality, and actuality. He seeks to understand what underlies all existence and the primary principles governing the world. Aristotle introduces the notion of «first philosophy», which studies the essence and causes of being, and he reviews various philosophical perspectives of his predecessors, including Plato. «Metaphysics» is one of the key works in the history of philosophy, significantly influencing the development of Western thought.
