چکیده

or speculative to be considered a science of sincere importance. This is because in Metaphysics, there is no set of superior or empirical observations, nor, is there a valid set of logical arguments which could definitively prove metaphysical axioms to be either true or false. Therefore, a metaphysical truth usually implies a belief about the perceived environment or world. Nevertheless, what makes Metaphysics unparalleled is not that it is commonly known as hard to comprehend, because in this student’s opinion, comprehension is all a matter of perspective, because what one considers difficult to understand, another may comprehend easily and vice versa, yet, it is the method of abstraction, used here by this student to mean a withdrawal of layers to expose something’s essence, core, or cause for being or existing, that essentially elevates the science of Metaphysics among its subsidiary sciences. The treatise by Aristotle, now known as Aristotle’s Metaphysics, was the first major work in the history of philosophy which bore the name “Metaphysics”. It was translated and given that name by a first century scholar named Andronicus of Rhodes and, according to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, was assembled by Andronicus from various smaller sections of Aristotle’s work. The title ‘metaphysics’literally meaning, ‘after the Physics’ very likely indicated ‘the location’ of the metaphysical topics discussed within the treatise, written by Aristotle, which were placed after the topics of Physics. However, Aristotle himself did not describe his work as “metaphysics.” He depicted his work in a variety of other ways, those being: ‘first philosophy’, or ‘the study of Being qua (in the capacity of) being’, or, simply ‘wisdom’. Aristotle viewed his work, which we deem as metaphysics, as the “first” or “highest” science, which he declared as being synonymous with the science of Theology, which again, is the study of the existence and attributes of the Divine, i.e. God. Aristotle proclaimed that what most men specify as wisdom is in actuality the study into the first causes and principles of all things. What Aristotle meant, as understood by this student, is that by classifying Metaphysics as the ‘first philosophy’, Aristotle wasn’t stating that metaphysics should be studied first, but rather that the science’s essential issues and concerns are of the most universal or considered to be at the highest
