Aristotle called the philosophy of being "first philosophy" because it does not examine the parts of reality (politics, math, music, history), but reality itself: existence, change, properties, space, time, causality, and possibility. This first philosophy is also called "metaphysics," deriving from the Greek words meta ("beyond") and physica ("physical").

I designed this site for students taking the Philosophy of Being section at the University of Dallas. Whether or not you are taking the course, I hope that you find the articles, outlines, and essays helpful.

Metaphysically,
Taylor Marshall
