Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metaphysics of Aristotle: Literally Translated From the Greek; With Notes, Analysis, Questions, and Index The Metaphysics of Aristotle we except Kant's Critique, and certain portions of the works of the Scholastics) embody, perhaps, the only formal Treatise on the Science yet in the possession of mankind. They, therefore, must be considered as one of the most precious remnants of antiquity; but their intrinsic worth can only be appreciated by those who have read them through with care. And this the student will discover, when, after climbing up the rugged mountain side of abstract speculation, he finds himself standing on one of its summits, beholding far and wide the vales of thought spread before him in expanded glory. In evidence of this, he may at the outset be reminded that the subjects treated of are those which have exercised the highest faculties of the human reason; and that he will there find an able Review of the Greek Philosophy a Refutation, most complete and elaborate, of Scepticism a Demonstration, a priori and a posteriori, of God's existence; an Examination into the relation of Metaphysics to the other Sciences an Overthrow of the Ideal Hypothesis of Plato, as well as of the Theory of Pythagoras; an Elucidation of the nature of the Infinite and an Investigation into Truth, in relation to man's faculties for the attainment of it.
