Aristotle's Metaphysics

The metaphysics is perhaps aristotle's most complex and difficult work, i am going to have to come back to it in later episodes. Aristotle envisions a single science devoted to nothing less than being. Hiawatha is primary, and the species giraffe is secondary. Because particulars are more fundamental than species. Accidents are beings, and the substances in which they inhere are beings, but the latter beings are more primary.
