Metaphysics is a philosophical treatise written by Theophrastus, a student of Aristotle. The book explores the fundamental principles and concepts of metaphysics, which is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of reality and existence. Theophrastus delves into topics such as substance, form, causation, and the nature of being. He also examines the concepts of time, space, and infinity, as well as the relationship between mind and matter. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both scholars and lay readers. It is considered an important work in the history of philosophy and is still widely studied and referenced today. This is a new release of the original 1929 edition.
