How is change possible? And are there certain things that must exist for anything else to exist at all? The seminal notions discussed in The Metaphysics - of 'substance' and associated concepts of matter and form essence and accident potentiality and actuality - have had a profound and enduring influence and laid the foundations for one of the central branches of Western philosophyHugh Lawson-Tancred's lucid translation is accompanied by a stimulating introduction in which he highlights the central themes of one of philosophy's supreme masterpiecesAristotle (384-22 BC) studied at the Academy of Plato for 20 years and then established his own school and research institute 'The Lyceum' His writings which were of extraordinary range profoundly affected the whole course of ancient and medieval philosophy and are still eagerly studied and debated by philosophers todayIf you enjoyed The Metaphysics you might like Aristotle's The Nicomachean Ethics also available in Penguin Classics"
