Study Notes
Metaphysics
- Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that explores fundamental questions about reality.
- It investigates concepts such as existence, being, time, space, and causality.
- Metaphysics focuses on the nature of reality itself, rather than specific aspects of human experience.
- Questions concerning the existence of God, the mind-body problem, and the nature of free will are all within the purview of metaphysics.
- Unlike other branches of philosophy, which often deal with specific aspects of human life or knowledge, metaphysics grapples with the most fundamental questions about what exists and how it exists.
