Exploring Aristotle's metaphysics, the book highlights how his observations of natural processes influenced his philosophical ideas, challenging traditional interpretations that view him as relying solely on abstract principles. It delves into his essentialism, examining unity in various entities and their elemental changes, ultimately proposing that substances can sometimes lack essential attributes. The work also introduces the concept of incomplete substances and bridges the gap between Aristotle's natural science and philosophy, offering a fresh perspective for philosophers, classicists, and historians of science.
