✦ Synopsis

Aristotle’s Metaphysics is foundational for the philosophical study of those speculative objects that extend beyond the realm of natural science: being, unity, goodness—Aristotle here begins the scientific treatment of what transcends the physical. St. Thomas Aquinas’s justly renowned commentary, written at the peak of his scholarly life, illuminates what is obscure in Aristotle’s text and guides readers through passages that are often dense and impenetrable.

The fine editions of the Aristotelian Commentary Series make available long out-of-print commentaries of St. Thomas on Aristotle. Each volume has the full text of Aristotle with Bekker numbers, followed by the commentary of St. Thomas, cross-referenced using an easily accessible mode of referring to Aristotle in the Commentary.
