Reviews"The translator is to be commended for the scholarly and painstaking service which he has rendered to one of the great philosophic masterpieces of all times." --Paul Helsel, "Mr. Hope translates every term in as many ways as are required by different contexts and by Aristotle's own intended meanings, thereby producing a version that is immeasurably more intelligible than one based on the assumption that every Greek word must be rendered by a single English equivalent." --Ben Ray Redman

SynopsisAristotle's great work translated into English with an index giving Greek, Latin, and English forms of key terms, Arthur Madigan presents a clear, accurate new translation of the third book (Beta) of Aristotle's Metaphysics, together with two related chapters from the eleventh book (Kappa). Madigan's accompanying commentary gives detailed guidance to these texts, in which Aristotle sets out what he takesto be the main problems of metaphysics or 'first philosophy' and assesses possible solutions to them.
