Description

This lecture delves into Aristotle's treatise on metaphysics, exploring the distinction between knowledge, experience, and observation. It discusses how science seeks to answer 'why' questions through general laws, the relationship between physics and metaphysics, and the role of natural philosophy in understanding the essence of nature and formulating general theories based on scientific knowledge.
