Most of Aristotle's works have been lost. Those that have been preserved are classified into logical, natural, biological, psychological, metaphysical, ethical, political, technological, and problems. The present work of Aristotle, "Metaphysics," belongs to the so-called esoteric or secret works of the philosopher.
Book I: Conclusions regarding substance. The substance of sensibles as energy. The four causes. Matter and change? Potential and actual. The unity of definition is achieved with the pairs: matter-kind and potential-actual.
Book II: Being as power and actuality. Comparison with the Megarian School. On actuality. Being in relation to truth and falsehood.
Book III: The one, the same, the different, the similar, the opposite.
Book IV: Compilation (most likely made after Aristotle's death) of the books Metaphysics B, C, E and Natural Philosophy C, E.
Book V: The principles of Being and motion. The immutable and eternal substances.
Book VI: Is there an immutable and eternal Being beyond the sensory beings? Critique of the distinction between ideas and numbers.
Book VII: Critique of the Platonic conception of the one, the large, the small, and ideal numbers.
