Although I have seen many times, in English language commentaries. that meta means beyond, as a student of ancient Greek it would seem to me that thιs is not generally the case. Meta (μετα) in ancient Greek means "with", accompanied by followed by its object in the genitive case, or "after" if followed by an object in the accusative case. That of course does not mean we can't give meta whatever meaning we want in English, but if Aristotle wrote "μετα", and I presume he did, we might want to be careful translating it. The word for beyond in ancient Greek is pera (περα).
