ABSTRACT
Three traditions of interpretation of etymological meaning of metaphysics have,
historically, contended for supremacy. The first is the tradition that ascribes the
etymological meaning of metaphysics to the sequence of Andronicus of Rhodes’
editorial undertaking. The second of the traditions interprets the etymological
meaning of metaphysics as deriving from the transcendental nature of the
subject matter of metaphysics.
