Excerpt from Essai sur la M taphysique d'Aristote, Vol. 1 Le premier volume r pond la premi re de ces trois questions; le second, qui suivra de pr s celui - ci, contiendra la r ponse la seconde et la troisi me. L'analyse de la M taphysique supposait la solution pr alable de diff rentes questions, souvent controvers es, sur l'authen ticit de cet ouvrage et l'ordre dans lequel les parties en sont dispos es. En outre, la M taphy sique nous tant parvenue plus ou moins in compl te et en d sordre, une simple analyse ne pouvait suffire pour en d voiler le plan et faire connaitre fond la doctrine qui y est contenue. Le premier volume se partage donc en trois par ties, dont la premi re, qui sert d'introduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
