Metaphysics

Book • 1960

Aristotle's Metaphysics is a collection of fourteen books exploring fundamental questions about reality, substance, change, and causality.

Its complex arguments and profound insights continue to be studied and debated by scholars today, offering a rich understanding of Aristotle's philosophical system.
