In Book 11, Aristotle explores the nature of wisdom and its object of study. He argues that wisdom must be a science of first principles, but grapples with defining these principles. He rejects the idea of forms as separate entities, and analyzes the possibility of wisdom being concerned with mathematical objects or perceptible substances, ultimately concluding that it must be a separate discipline focusing on being itself.
