Delta ? Book: The First Philosophical Lexicon

Conceptual key to Aristotle's Metaphysics?

Abstract

 In this search, the importance of the fifth book of Aristotle's Metaphysics is highlighted, many times ignored in the background of Aristotelian Metaphysics, to achieve a more expeditious understanding of the project that represents his first philosophy. This strange text of the Stagirite is studied, as a mystery fits the classical arrangement that the Andronicus of Rhodes edition originally inserted, and just as the texts of said Aristotelian project have come down to us. The interpretation of Alexander's Commentary is highlighted as one of the main authorities in the history of Aristotelianism that has made the relevance of the book Delta clear. And the significance of the Aristotelian contribution is explained by having written, for the first time and without any parallel, the first philosophical lexicon for posterity, problematizing its supposed incompleteness. This research focuses more on the textual form and its meaning as a whole, than on the exposition of its specific contents.
