Question

This book claims that although the senses “give us the most authoritative knowledge,” they cannot be considered as wisdom after arguing that art relates to knowledge more than experience does. According to this book’s “method of division,” definitions are made through finding an ultimate differentia, which is why man cannot be defined as a “footed two-footed animal.” (15[1])This book, which begins by noting “all men by nature desire to know,” (15[1])rejects using universals, genera, and subjects in favor of using (*) essence to define substance, or ousia. In this (-5[1])work’s Book Zeta, its author further develops his previously proposed (10[1])doctrine of hylomorphism. This book defines its title field as the study of “being qua being.” (10[1])For 10 points, name this book by Aristotle (10[1])titled for a field called “first philosophy,” which he named (10[1])for coming (10[1])after his Physics. ■END■ (10[1])
