About the transcendentals, Aristotle made metaphysics the science of substance.
Suffice it to say that Aristotle conceives of this wisdom as a science of substance that is, or is a part of, a science of being qua being (for further information about this argument, see the entry Aristotle's Metaphysics, especially Sections 1 and 3).

Fun, to them, often means cheap thrills and even cheaper science, containing as much substance as a fistful of cotton candy.
