Abstract
[spa] La presente investigación tiene como fin el esclarecimiento de algunas de las nociones centrales de la metafísica aristotélica. En concreto, se estudian las nociones de εἶδος y ἐνέργεια, poniendo especial atención a su relación con la noción central de oὐσία. Al respecto de la noción de εἶδος, se argumenta en favor de la particularidad de las formas aristotélicas. Sobre la noción de ἐνέργεια, se argumenta que, en el caso de Dios, su actualidad presenta una cierta trascendencia respecto de su forma, lo cual revela que la metafísica aristotélica no culmina en la doctrina de las formas, sino en la doctrina del acto. Con todo esto, se pretende alejar el pensamiento de Aristóteles de la tradicional lectura esencialista que se ha ejercido sobre su filosofía.

Regarding the notion of ἐνέργεια, it is argued that, in the case of the divine substance, its actuality presents a certain transcendence with respect to its form, which reveals that aristotelian metaphysics does not culminate in the doctrine of forms, but in the doctrine of act. With all this, it is intended to distance Aristotle's thought from the traditional essentialist reading that has been exerted on his philosophy.
