The Power of Metaphysics

Description

Derived from the Greek meta ta physika ("after the things of nature"); referring to an idea, doctrine, or posited reality outside of human sense perception. In modern philosophical terminology, metaphysics refers to the studies of what cannot be reached through objective studies of material reality. Examples of metaphysical concepts are Being, Existence, Purpose, Universals, Property, Relation, Causality, Space, Time, Event, and many others. They are fundamental, because all other concepts and beliefs rest on them. All Knowledge and Value is based upon the definitions of these concepts. Ontology, cosmology and philosophical theology are the branches of metaphysics. Most of today's beliefs and theories about metaphysics are derived from the study of ancient Greek philosophy. The present book “The Power of Metaphysics” provides a detailed resume of current knowledge about Metaphysics to the students as well those who are interested in learning about its conception.
