Alexander Of Aphrodisias On Aristotles Metaphysics 1. Translated By W. E. Dooley by Alexander of Aphrodisias
A late-antique commentary on the first book of Aristotle’s work on first philosophy, it elucidates the nature of wisdom as knowledge of first causes and principles and unpacks the survey and critique of earlier thinkers. It clarifies the four causes, assesses Presocratic, Pythagorean, and Platonic doctrines, addresses textual and conceptual difficulties, and provides line-by-line exegesis that situates the arguments within the Peripatetic tradition while defending their coherence.
