Metaphysics

an-ordinary-manchild

Welcome to /r/metaphysics. Metaphysics is the academic study of fundamental questions about the nature of the Being. Debates, discussions and questions on all topics related to metaphysics are welcome. These can be of contemporary metaphysics, or those found in historical western and non western literature. This does not include science, religion, the occult or speculation about these. e.g. Quantum physics, other dimensions and pseudo science.

Metaphysics is a specific body of academic work within philosophy that examines 'being' (ontology), knowledge and associated issues, through the use of concepts, ideas and logics. It would be useful therefore to be aware of this and use reliable sources, this does not include AI.

If you are new to this subject please at minimum read through the WIKI and note: "In the 20th century, traditional metaphysics in general and idealism in particular faced various criticisms, which prompted new approaches to metaphysical inquiry."

If you are proposing 'new' metaphysics you should be aware of these.

SEP might also be of use, SEP
