商品描述

"All men by nature are actuated with the desire of knowledge," declared Aristotle. The philosopher's works are foundational to the history of science, and his treatise on metaphysics, or "first philosophy," is divided into sections of previous philosophical thought and theories; a refutation of skepticism; a demonstration of God's existence; an examination of the relation of metaphysics to the other sciences; an elucidation of the nature of the infinite; and other major philosophical issues.
The central theme consists of an inquiry into how substance may be defined as a category of being. The philosopher describes substance as both formal and material reality, and he discusses the relation between potentiality and actuality. An excellent example of Aristotle's dialectical method, which reasons from reliable opinions rather than known truths, this work offers a fine introduction to classical metaphysics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

「所有人天生都懷有對知識的渴望,」亞里士多德宣稱。這位哲學家的著作對科學史具有基礎性的重要性,他的形而上學論文,或稱「第一哲學」,分為幾個部分,包括先前哲學思想和理論的回顧;對懷疑論的反駁;對上帝存在的證明;對形而上學與其他科學之間關係的探討;對無限本質的闡明;以及其他主要的哲學議題。

其中心主題是探討如何將實體定義為存在的一個類別。這位哲學家將實體描述為形式和物質的現實,並討論潛能與現實之間的關係。這部作品是亞里士多德辯證法的絕佳範例,該方法是從可靠的意見而非已知的真理進行推理,為古典形而上學提供了良好的入門。
