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
against actual and possible criticisms, and attempting to integrate
what is said in Book 5 into the context of the "Metaphysics" as a
whole.
