A new translation of one of the cornerstones of Western philosophy.
Always passionately interested in natural phenomena, Aristotle eventually dissented from Plato's idealist premise that what we perceive is just a pale reflection of the true reality. The Metaphysics is Aristotle's first mature statement of his own philosophical understanding of reality. An extraordinary synthesis, integrating the natural and rational aspects of the world, Aristotle's Metaphysics probes some of the deepest questions of philosophy: What is existence? How is change possible? What makes something the same thing at different times? Are there things that must exist for anything else to exist at all? Furthermore, with his notion of "substance" and his associated concepts of matter and form, essence and accident, and potentiality and actuality, Aristotle laid the foundations for Western speculative thought on the nature of reality. Hugh Lawson--Tancred's translation achieves a read-ability absent from earlier versions, and in a stimulating introductory essay he highlights the central themes of one of philosophy's supreme masterpieces.

评分这个英译本实在一言难尽，导言写得相当精彩，每章前的开篇也不错，但加入了太多作者的主观意见，亚氏文中实际上是看不出来的，而且翻译很多地方确实难读，不知道是不是希腊语本身的缘故，但中译本却译的很流畅，作者自己也说不打算翻地简单，但这不是借口啊！有两个地方需要注意：1，substance, essence, definition, form, species之间的关系是什么？ 重点在于form/species之间（参SEP），导言中作者认为亚氏在《形》里对“第一本体”的定义与在《范》中相互颠倒，但SEP中并不这么认为。2，SEP和导言里对待substance是否为universal的意见也相互分歧，前者涉及definition must be of universal，后者predication。
