Abstract
Aristotle wonders whether the One is prior to the Many, or conversely. Indeed, the Many seems to be an aggregate of several Ones; but, in order to understand the One, it has to be compared with Many others. This article evaluates Aristotle's approach to this problem, according to the reading and solution given by Aquinas in his Commentary on Metaphysics.
