The Metaphysics (Greek: τὰμετὰτὰφυσικά; Latin: Metaphysica) is a key philosophical work of Aristotle. The book's name originally came from its position after the Physics in Aristotle's collected writings. However, it's title subsequently provided the name for the branch of philosophy with which it was concerned, addressing the fundamental nature of being.
