Publisher's Synopsis
Metaphysics by Theophrastus is a philosophical treatise that explores the nature of reality, existence, and being. The book is divided into three main parts, each of which examines a different aspect of metaphysics. The first part focuses on ontology, or the study of being and existence. Theophrastus considers the various types of beings, their characteristics, and their relationships to each other.The second part of the book is concerned with cosmology, or the study of the universe and its origins. Theophrastus discusses the nature of space and time, the origins of the universe, and the relationship between the physical world and the divine.The third and final part of the book deals with theology, or the study of God and divine beings. Theophrastus explores the nature of God, the relationship between God and the world, and the role of prayer and worship in human life.Throughout the book, Theophrastus draws on the ideas of earlier philosophers, including Aristotle, Plato, and Parmenides, to develop his own theories and insights. The result is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of some of the most fundamental questions of human existence.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
