 "being qua being", or being seeing that it is being. It inspects what can be attested about anything that exists in light of its presence and not in view of any unique qualities it has (Aristotle, 1956). Aristotle called metaphysics "First Philosophy" and philosophy of substance since it considers the primary causes and standards of reality. In Aristotle words he claimed that it is plain that nature in the primary and strict sense is the substance of things which have in themselves, as such, a source of movement; for the matter is called nature because it is qualified to receive this, and processes of becoming and growing are called nature because they are movements proceeding from this. And nature in this sense is the source of the movement of natural objects, being present in them somehow, either potentially or actually (Aristotle, 1985). From what has been said, then, metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that studies the totality of being in its inclination and structure. It is worth noting that the historical backdrop of western philosophy started with the question: what is the primordial substance of things down till today; this is still a recurring question in metaphysics. 2. What Is Substance? The expression "substance" is irregular in that, while it is a phrase that philosophy has given to common dialect, normal use today is no manual for its conventional essentialness. The word is generally utilized now for stuffs like gold, things tangible and of value. The Greek word which is substantia in Latin and substance in English is much more extensive in application (Broackes, 2006). Ousia is a verbal thing from the verb einai, to be, and a more straightforward interpretation would be or maybe (all the more conceptually) substance (Broackes, 2006). Since numerous sorts of thing can be said in various approaches to be beings, or to be the being of something, the term, obviously, is connected generally. Substance can be seen as a thing or rather the foundation of a thing. As indicated in the mild sense, the substances in a given philosophical framework are those things which are the foundational or major elements of reality. In this manner, for an atomist, particles are the substances (Levy, 2005), for they are the fundamental things from which everything is developed. Omoregbe concur on this when he defines substance has a stuff of which a thing is made, the material it is made out of (Omoregbe, 1991: p. 5). Spinoza sees substance
" being qua being ", or being seeing that it is being.

Aristotle called metaphysics " First Philosophy " and doctrine of substance since it considers the primary cause and standards of reality. In Aristotle password he claimed that it is plain that nature in the elementary and rigid sense is the means of things which have in themselves, as such, a beginning of movement; for the matter is called nature because it is dependent to receive this, and processes of becoming and turn are called nature because they are movements proceeding from this. And nature in this sense is the source of the motion of natural objects, being present in them somehow, either potentially or actually (Aristotle, 1985). From what has been said, then, metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that learn the sum of being in its inclination and structure.
