Aristotle's Metaphysics (week 1)

Join us for weekly discussions of Aristotle's incredibly influential musings on substance, causation, hylomorphism, and other fun abstractions.

Reading for this meeting: Book I (Alpha)

I'll be reading the 1999 translation by Joe Sachs. Feel free to use any translation or edition—comparing differing translations can help with getting a feel for the meanings of terms in the original Greek. There are several versions for free online, including this one.

We'll be meeting at Farm.One, which a brewery and indoor farm in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The space is also a quiet cafe between 10am and 12pm, so get there early if you prefer coffee to beer (and maybe to finish up the reading)!
