What is at stake in that form of inquiry that the western philosophical tradition has called first philosophy or metaphysics? Is it an abstract, now outmoded branch of philosophy, or does it address a problem that is still of great interest  namely the unity of western knowledge?
In fact, metaphysics is first only in relation to the other two sciences that Aristotle called theoretical: the study of nature (phusik) and mathematics. It is the strategic sense of this primacy that needs to be examined, because what is at issue here is nothing less than the relationship  of domination or subservience, conflict or harmony  between philosophy and science. The hypothesis of this book is that philosophys attempt to use metaphysics as a way of securing primacy among the sciences has resulted instead in its subservience: philosophy, once handmaiden to theology (ancilla theologiae), has now become more or less consciously handmaiden to the sciences (ancilla scientiarum). So it is all the more urgent to explore the nature and limits of this primacy and subservience, which is what the present book does through an archaeological investigation of metaphysics.
