Synopsis

This treatise by the ancient Greek philosopher offers a fine introduction to classical metaphysics, a foundational area in the history of science. Aristotle employs the dialectical method, reasoning from reliable opinions rather than known truths, to refute skepticism, demonstrate God's existence, compare metaphysics to the other sciences, elucidate the nature of the infinite, and explore other major philosophical issues.
