Making metaphysics accessible to all.

All works All papers

Metaphysics is the science that questions the beyond of the physical world. It is about answering, for example, Leibniz’s question: “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” or to understand Plato saying that all cosmology can only be “a probable myth (ton eikota mython)”, because it is, “of all necessity the image of something” (Timaeus, 29b, 29d). It is this something, this necessary source of things that metaphysics sets out to reveal.

If our science of nature remains hypothetical, it is not because of the weakness of our intelligence; it is because of a lack of reality in the object to be known. The ultimate reality of the universe is in its “beyond”: metaphysical science begins where physical science is forced to stop. The essential constraint of physics is in the constitution of its object of study: the physical. And while metaphysical questions often emerge in the study of the physical—from astrophysics to quantum mechanics—the physical sciences are not equipped to engage such questions. This is just one reason why we need metaphysics.
