Aristotle - Philosophy and Ethics

Science

Metaphysics

Aristotle defines metaphysics as the knowledge of immaterial being or of being in the highest degree of abstraction. He calls metaphysics the first philosophy and the theologic science.

The term metaphyisics was created after Aristotle's death and means behind the physics. Aristotle's metaphysics contain for example examinations of the concept of substance and essence and thoughts of universals and particulars, in which he disagreed with his teacher Plato.
