Synopsis

Aristotle approaches metaphysics through a dialectical method, building arguments from reliable opinions rather than established truths. In doing so, he sets out to challenge scepticism, considers the existence of God, and positions metaphysics in relation to other sciences.

The discussion also addresses the nature of the infinite alongside other major philosophical questions, making this a focused work within religion and philosophy.
