From Ayn Rand to Sartre and Beyond: Metaphysical Exploration
Introduction:
- the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.“they would regard the question of the initial conditions for the universe as belonging to the realm of metaphysics or religion”
- abstract theory with no basis in reality.“the very subject of milk pricing involves one in a wonderland of accounting practice and a metaphysics all its own”
Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that delves into the nature of reality itself. It seeks to answer the fundamental questions about the world we live in and the universe that surrounds us. What is the nature of existence? What is the ultimate structure of reality? What is the nature of consciousness and the mind? These are just some of the questions that metaphysics seeks to answer.
For centuries, metaphysics has been a central area of inquiry in philosophy, influencing other fields such as theology, physics, and psychology. It has sparked countless debates and has been the subject of many great works of philosophy throughout history. From Aristotle to Descartes, from Kant to Heidegger, many of the greatest thinkers in history have tackled metaphysical questions and contributed to the field.
