PHL109: Ancient Philosophy: Metaphysics

Arthur Madigan presents a clear, accurate new translation of the third book (Beta) of Aristotle's Metaphysics, together with two related chapters from the eleventh book (Kappa). Madigan's accompanying commentary gives detailed guidance to these texts, in which Aristotle sets out what he takesto be the main problems of metaphysics or 'first philosophy' and assesses possible solutions to them.

Mr Kirwan has added a substantial section of further comment on central issues and considerably expanded the bibliography for this new edition.
