Book 5 of the \u003ci\u003eMetaphysics \u003c\/i\u003eis 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. \u003cbr\u003eAlexander 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 \u003ci\u003eMetaphysics\u003c\/i\u003e as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam E.
