Usual shelf-wear. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the most towering achievements in the history of human thought, Aristotle's Metaphysics stands as the foundational text of Western philosophy, a work so profound that it gave the discipline of metaphysics its very name. Written in the fourth century BCE, it chronicles Aristotle's rigorous investigation into the nature of being, substance, causality, and the ultimate principles that underpin all reality — questions that remain as urgent and unresolved today as they were in ancient Athens. Edited and translated by John Warrington, with an authoritative introduction by Sir David Ross, former President of the Aristotelian Society, this Everyman's Library edition presents one of antiquity's greatest minds in an accessible and scholarly format.\n\nAristotle argues with a systematic precision and intellectual daring that no philosopher since has fully surpassed, building a universe of categories, essences, and first causes from first principles alone. His style is dense, exacting, and relentlessly logical — demanding a reader who is willing to be transformed by the encounter. This edition, issued as the landmark No. 1000 in the celebrated Everyman's Library series, is a collector's treasure and a philosophical necessity, inviting the reader to confront the most fundamental question of all: what does it mean for anything to exist?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130699522267,"sku":"2026100007988-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/dcf8b8e2-1543-4066-8f27-0f24bc3bc93e.png?v=1786588848","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007988-secondhand-metaphysics","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
