Aristotle's Metaphysics

Aristotle's "Metaphysics" explores the fundamental nature of reality and existence. He examines concepts like being, substance, and cause, arguing that everything has a purpose or function (telos) and that understanding the essence of things is crucial. Aristotle differentiates between what something is (its essence) and what it is like (its properties). He also introduces the idea of potentiality (what something can become) and actuality (what something is in reality), emphasizing that change and movement are essential to understanding the world around us. Overall, it seeks to answer profound questions about the nature of being and the principles that govern existence.
