Metaphysics by Aristotle ~ Full Audiobook [philosophy]

Metaphysics by Aristotle audiobook.

Genre: philosophy

Aristotle's Metaphysics is a foundational inquiry into what it means for anything to be. Written as a series of tightly argued investigations, it follows Aristotle as he searches for first causes and first principles - the deepest explanations that underlie nature, change, and knowledge. Along the way, he examines and critiques earlier thinkers, testing their answers about reality and exposing what they leave unexplained. Central to the work is the question of being itself: what kinds of things exist, what it means to call something a substance, and how form, matter, potentiality, and actuality help make sense of change without dissolving identity. Aristotle also confronts the tension between the world of everyday objects and the pull toward ultimate explanation, building toward a vision of a highest kind of understanding that unifies science, logic, and theology. Dense, challenging, and surprisingly wide-ranging, Metaphysics is not a single linear treatise so much as a guided struggle with the most basic problems of philosophy - why there is order rather than chaos, how thought can grasp reality, and what it would mean to know something in the fullest sense.
