About the Book:

Written by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, Metaphysics is one of the foundational works of Western philosophy. The book investigates fundamental questions about existence, reality, substance, causes, form and matter, and the principles underlying knowledge and being.

Aristotle examines what it means for something to exist and explores the nature of substance, potentiality and actuality, causation, and the first principles of reality. The work is traditionally regarded as a central text in the development of metaphysics and has had a lasting influence on philosophical thought.

This Readings Classics edition presents Aristotle’s philosophical work for readers interested in classical philosophy and the origins of Western thought.
