Philosophy and Historical Thought

The Metaphysics contains a number of formulas that supposedly refer to the science which occupies the top of the hierarchy of philosophical disciplines. But there is great disagreement among scholars over the possibility of effectively reconciling these different formulas. Thus, one of the most important issues which the reader of the Metaphysics has to deal with is to determine whether the work is concerned with a single preeminent science or if it contains different projects of preeminent science. In this paper we discuss the views of some of the most important interpreters, paying particular attention to two authors from the German Aristotelian tradition: Eduard Zeller and, specially, Paul Natorp.
