- The book is xii+420 pages (about 160,000 words) and the culmination of many years of research into a difficult, important, and neglected book of Aristotle’s Metaphysics. This is the first in-depth, rigorously philosophical commentary on this work in the modern era. Book Λ is an outline or plan for a much more extended work in what Aristotle calls ‘first philosophy’. Its scope is wide-ranging, and its compressed form makes it extremely challenging for the commentator. Book Λ is thus a key text not only for Aristotelian metaphysics and theology, but also for ancient science.
