- Please explain to a beginner: what is metaphysics?
Heidegger once delivered a famous lecture called "What Is Metaphysics " After he finished and a baffled silence a student raised his hand "But Professor Heidegger," he asked, "what is metaphysics?" To which Heidegger responded, "That is a very good question " To this old wives tale I'd add the suggestion that the answer also changes, because "physics" changes
- What is the difference between the spiritual and the metaphysical
Your definition of metaphysical is a diminished connotation of the philosophical meaning All it actually refers to is, 'that which is real' By 'real' in this case is meant a thing whose existence is 'necessary', unlike people, objects and things which are 'contingent'
- What exactly is metaphysical possibility? - Philosophy Stack Exchange
Metaphysical possibility is defined in an analogous manner: Definition 5 (Metaphysical possibility m) Formula φ of propositional modal language is metaphysically possible (symbolically: m φ) iff it is true in Carnapian models at some valuation Example Let's see whether the formula (p ∧ q) is metaphysically possible
- epistemology - Metaphysical Impossibility Vs Logical Impossibility . . .
Metaphysical necessity, possibility, and impossibility, were basically invented by Kripke as an effort to patch rationality in the face of the realization of the radical contingency of our world
- What is the difference between metaphysics and ontology?
As you say, really there is no difference We may choose to study this or that area of metaphysics but by its very nature all the approaches to metaphysics converge It would not be possible to solve ontology without solving all significant metaphysical problems There is a difference between the definitions but as you observe it doesn't matter much
- Are the laws of physics brute facts or metaphysical necessities?
A proposition is said to be necessary if it could not have failed to be the case Nomological necessity is necessity according to the laws of physics and logical necessity is necessity according to the laws of logic, while metaphysical necessities are necessary in the sense that the world could not possibly have been otherwise
- We know reality exists but can we prove what is real?
Thus, by your metaphysical first principles, you are working with an entirely different frame of context when you use words like evidence, reality, and proof So, for you, it is a philosophical problem to distinguish reality from the unreal, because for you, the real is based on physically unjustified belief
- In non-reductive physicalism, what are the things that make the mind?
The definition problem for metaphysical physicalism and naturalism has been that future physics, or future science (for the naturalists), since they are both active fields of inquiry that have repeatedly overturned prior apparently unimpeachable paradigms, could well include "those things that physicalists want to reject" in the words often
- metaphysics - What is the criteria for a metaphysical truths . . .
Metaphysical truths are usually truths that predicate the "true being", if one believes in such a thing So to Plato existence of the ideal realm is a metaphysical truth, and to Aristotle of the unmoved mover, to Christians God and angels, etc Necessity and universality are neither necessary nor sufficient
- What is the difference between naturalism and materialism?
I think that the only difference between the two is the semantic objective of the definition Naturalism (see the SEP) is the view that the world can be explained entirely by physical, natural phenomena laws Naturalists either assert that there is no supernatural (or metaphysical) existence, or that if there is, it has no impact on our physical world The branch called Ontological Naturalism
