Alexander of Aphrodisias was the greatest exponent of Aristotelianism after Aristotle, and his commentary on Metaphysics 1-5 is the most substantial commentary on the Metaphysics to have survived from antiquity.

Aristotle's battery of objectives to the theory of Ideas is spelled out with fragmentary quotations and paraphrases from four of Aristotle's lost works, and we are given an extended account of Plato's 'unwritten doctrines' according to which the Ideas...

Aristotle was a systematic writer who often cross-referred to the definitions of terms given elsewhere in his work. Book 5 of the Metaphysics is important because it consists of definitions of the main uses of key terms in Aristotle's philosophy, and it is extremely valuable to have a commentary on this important text by Alexander of Aphrodisias, the leading commentator of his school.
Alexander provides a detailed commentary on all of the thirty terms analysed in Book 5, weighing alternative interpretations of what Aristotle says one against another, defending Peripatetic views...

Many people wonder how their life will end and if there's anything beyond this life, other than a dark and empty void that many perceive. We as a society concern ourselves with ideas of becoming debilitated or unaware of our surroundings or being alone when we make our final journey. None of this seems as important to me as it once did. What if we knew without an iota of doubt, that there is eternal life for all of us? What would our perception of life be; would it change? I guarantee you, you would perceive things differently. Although I know there is truly an eternal life, I have to...
