"The motive which inspires Aristotle throughout the Metaphysics is the wish to acquire that form of knowledge which is most worthy of the name of wisdom." -- W. D. Ross

Many of the great and perennial problems in philosophy are to be found in Aristotle's Metaphysics. Aristotle thought that wonder at the world around us, and at the "world beyond physics" was the beginning of philosophy. However, in a less romantic vein he also thought that the task of philosophy was, in a sense, to extinguish wonder by offering complete explanations of all there was to wonder about. Among the varied topics covered in this work, Aristotle philosophizes on reality, unity, fact and value, truth, and causation.
