[@mrchiefbs]

That IS metaphysics. We are so much and yet so little. The natural world is huge and small. What does it mean to be alive when we can be conscious and unconscious? If we are unconscious and are unaware of our surroundings we are breathing but share the same experience of death. Or to exist seems so trivial because our minds allow us to consider a debate for something about being alive and existing or to argue whether we are living as we live.

This is where the most basic understanding is the greatest power. There are many who hide under complicated terms of which they created due to the simple fact of a lack of their own understanding which confuses and stops anyone else from understanding the basics of this universe. Find the origin of the definition and it will give you great understanding.

[@pl4t1n00b]

In that case it would be more appropriate to say that "meta" means "about" or "beyond" and "physics" stands for "nature", i.e. *"metaphysics"* would mean something like _"the science of what is beyond the nature"._

[@Orthologist]

Guys trust me, I'm Greek. Meta means after.

[@pl4t1n00b]

@@Orthologist Trust me, I have common sence. Meta-joke or meta-mathematics, for example, don't mean accordingly "after a joke" or "after mathematics" in English language, but there's a prefix called "post-" which perfectly serves your definition nowadays. According to Wikipedia: *_In epistemology, and often in common use, the prefix meta- is used to mean about (its own category)._*

Metaphysics is our relationship with our habitual way of thinking and that consequence. Thinking is a habit we live more consciously when we are more self aware of the decisions we make.

I was introduced to metaphysics at a young age and it made my day ro day life magical and very happy. Unfortunately as my brain grew older it was distracted and loss 4he belief of all magic. Now I'm near 50 and suffered a stroke three years ago. Ive gotten back into my metaphysical 4honkimg and beliefs ive regained that old happiness living in that magical world of manifestation, law of attraction and psychic abilities. Its like waking up and seeing thst dreams don't only happen while sleeping and that if i i let the universe what I want, the universe will provide it also both good and bad karma are real what you put out and do is returned to you 3x so put out good energy and you receive good energy

Hi DeAnna, I think you might be thinking of the way the word metaphysics is used in astrology and other spiritual systems. In philosophy metaphysics refers to the first causes, things-in-themselves, etc.

[@thefateshavewarned]

Great video. Excellent introduction to a field that doesn't get enough respect among regular people today, but is nonetheless important to the foundations of philosophy.

[@farzad228]

Now I think Metaphysics means asking questions about Existence, Reality, Truth and Mind is Metaphysics. Now I categories Metaphysics into 3 primary parts those are: 1, Ontology 2, Realogy 3, Mindology So, I start with: Ontology: So, Ontology ask questions about Existence, Physicality, Causality, Space, Universals, Property and Substance. So, questions are like: 1, What is existence? 2, What is the criterion of existence? 3, Is it possible for something to not exist for now but to exist in future? 4, What is causality? 5, Is causality a mental construct? 6, What is the nature of causality? 7, What is universals? 8, Are there any universals? 9, What is space? 10, What is the nature of space? 11, What is property? 12, What is substance? 13. What does Physical means? 14. Are all things are Physical? And there is: Realogy: It's a fancy word I made. So, the word “Rea” comes from the English word “Real.” And logy is a Greek word that means “Study.” So, if we coin it then it means “Study of reality.” But again terms are flexible. So, it's primarily ask about reality. But it also ask about Truth. So, questions here are like: 1, What is reality? 2, What is the nature of reality? 3, Do our observations and perceptions about reality match with reality? 4. Are there any subjective realities? 5. Is reality a mental construct? 6. What is Truth? 7. What is the nature of Truth? 8. Are there any relative and subjective Truths? 9. How can we get to the Truth? Then there is: Mindology: Again it's a fancy word I made. So, “Mind” means ”Mind.” And “logy” means “Study.” So, if we coin it then it means “Study of mind.” So, it asks questions about Mind, Consciousness, Identity, Self, Soul and Personhood. So, here questions are like: 1, What is mind? 2, Do mind and brain are same thing? 3, What is consciousness? 4, Where consciousness arises? 5, Does consciousness arise from non-physical things? 6, Does everything have consciousness? 7. If not, what things have consciousness? 8, Can I be certain that other living beings have consciousness when I can't check their consciousness? 9, What is self? 10, What is identity? 11, How can a human have the same self and identity when he changes all the time? 12, What is personhood? 13, What is soul? 14, Do we have any soul? So, that is Metaphysics in a nutshell.

3:41 You Cannot Answer "What does exist?" without answering "What does it mean to exist". If you don't have a concept to what is existence how can you provide a inventory of the things that exist? So maybe the reason why present day ontologists do not concern about the concept of existence is because they probably already have a very good answer to the question "what does it mean to exist", am I right?

Metaphysics as set theory I believe that Leibniz-Plato is not really philosophy, but mathematics. In fact, set theory. Unfortunately I am not a mathematician, and need some help. But here are some initial thoughts. In Leibniz, the physical object in spacetime is represented as a mental point called a monad. Mind is a formalization or form of mathematics in Plato-Leibniz. From set theory we find that a set is a collection of objects that it owns. This ownership I believe is what we call control, perception or creation. That is, a set controls the objects or sets within it hierarchically. Using the notation < to mean is conceptually contained in (a sidewise U), M as plato's Mind (the One), T as the domain of time, and S as the domain of space, p as a particle is spacetime, and m(p) as its monad, we have the sets m(p) < S < T < M The motion of an object in spacetime begins with its birth as a still point in Plato's Mind. That is. as a point in the all-encompassing set of points, Plato's Mind, which is the point containing all other (mental) points. The mental is the mathematical, the formal in terms of set theory. Time and space are quantized, as is experience, so experience is given to us a set of movie frames that we expeience as a movie. -- Dr. Roger B Clough NIST (retired, 2000).

Some of the properties of Metaphysics existed before the ancient Greeks. The ancient Indians practiced Renunciation and in that school of thought came about developments of examinations of various properties of Metaphysics. I am not convinced that the Greeks were influenced by Indian philosophy. Ancient egyptians also had geometric treaties that dealt with many aspects of Metaphysics but again I doubt that had little influence upon formalized Metaphysics developed aristotle.

[@lucofparis4819]

This is a well made video, I appreciate that. Thank you. So, in short metaphysics is the study of what is fundamental in reality, apparently... This gives me pause because it is nowadays pretty obvious that physics has been encountering such questions as well for a while now, and suffice it to say, metaphysics self-admittedly made no progress toward anwsering these questions, to the point of being somewhat at peace with the idea of never being able to answer them. And the hallmark of metaphysics is that it makes extensive use of armchair analytic, a priori reasoning. Meanwhile, physics does not have to be fed data in this strange ivory tower manner and can and will explore the emergent in order to comprehend its fundamental underpinnings, via observation _and_ theorizing. This means scientific reasoning is fundamentally synthetic, a posteriori reasoning. Contrasting those two approaches helps to highlight how metaphysics is in fact piggy backing on the scientific activity, not underpinning it, contrary to what those who held it as 'first knowledge' falsely believed. From this we can also make the inference that should metaphysics ever be effective, it stands to reason that it should incorporate scientificity, not reject it. Meanwhile, cosmology, psychology, and to an extent even 'theology' in Aristotle's sense have already been turned into scientific fields with great success. In many ways, we also have quantum physics to tackle the ontological question, though to no fundamental avail just yet. Nevertheless, it remains a very new field of study that still has much room to grow. With that being said, it seems to me that physics has already gobbled up and 'scientified' the field of metaphysics without having philosophers ever admitting that it had done so.

[@lucofparis4819]

@@ANDROLOMA It's strange how you can seemingly read two paragraphs where I delineated my points and yet not even notice them, despite the use of 'very refined words' in your opinion. I guess you just didn't care whatsoever to even comprehend what you were reading, perhaps out of the assumption that I was trying to be overly pedantic? A clearer version just for you: • Metaphysics purports to search for the foundations of reality. • It does so by analyzing the ideas we form about - and models we use to describe - reality. • Metaphysics self-admittedly failed as a field of fundamental research. • Physics also happens to be searching for the foundations of reality. • It does so by synthesizing observations we make of - and hypotheses we use to describe - reality. • Physics self-evidently succeeded as a field of fundamental research. • Instead of changing their armchair fruitless approach, metaphysicists keep thinking exactly backwards from the scientific reasoning used in fundamental research, paying only attention to the contents of modern scientific theories instead of its methodologies and philosophical underpinnings. • Simultaneously, metaphysicists happily spread the idea that Metaphysics underpins scientific research, when it is currently the exact opposite, any semblance of metaphysical progress being largely owed to scientific updates of our understanding of the world. • Metaphysicists apparently need to philosophically pull themselves by their bootstraps and start learning how to improve their field using scientific reasoning, instead of pretending to inform science with their flawed a priori reasoning.

Though a question arises to me: why cannot we just say that metaphysics is useless since science is doing what metaphysics was 'supposed' to be doing and overwhelmingly better? Where is the use of metaphysics? Plus, if it isn't using the new information that science is providing, what good metaphysics is for? Furthermore metaphysics studies 'what' things are; impossible for humans to know what reality is. We can only know how it behaves and it characteristics which are investigated by science. In other words, humans cannot know 'what' things are; they can only know 'what' things are by their behaviour and characteristics, only know the behaviour and characteristics.

Why would a species evolve in such a way, that it is able to think about why it exists, and come to a conclusion that its existence has no basic purpose ? (A random/accidental event has no purpose, like dropping an egg on the floor by mistake). Is it beneficial for survival, a natural evolution process ?

[@Window4503]

This is the irrational conclusion that can only follow the rejection of a personal, sentient Universal. As long as humans wrongly consider themselves autonomous, they will flounder in the void they created through faulty premises. In short, many are hypocrites. They claim there is no ultimate meaning but live every day as though there were. They claim autonomy but they cannot will themselves into or out of existence. They claim spiritual progress but stumble around, following emotions and conflicting with others. The truth is, the answers are already revealed, but many reject them because of their source. Thus, the ones accused of being unspiritual are more spiritual than those who pursue a mystic spirituality that is nothing more than navel-gazing, an attempt to pull a universal out of a particular, which is illogical and unsound.

5:18 1) The world is made out of tools and obstacles. In a classroom that you try to remember you won't remember random facts like 'these tiles are slightly bigger than these tiles' if you don't interact with them. You will remember the stairs, because you can walk on them, the door because you can open it and the things on the floor you can stumble over. You first see tool/obstacle and then later what it is objectively and as far as your neurochemistry is concerned that's more real than our objective representation of the world. That might be the answer to question one, tools and obstacles.

[@siebealbers473]

I also read that Kant wrote "“I have the fortune to be a lover of metaphysics". Metaphysics, is this just a word that philosophers like to throw around? I have seen so many different notions of the term... Like consciousness, if there are >100 definitions, is there none?

Okay so my question is what purpose does studying metaphysics serve for us? Like what do we gain from any of this?

[@mymy-pc6zq]

Knowledge

[@evenesteven]

In metaphysics we only look at predicaments/categories which can only be understood metaphysically. We do not look at action or passion for example, which relate to philosophy of life and of ethics, just as we also leave aside time and place... Indeed, what can being tell us about the time and place? Nothing ! Being is nowhere in particular, any more than it is late, on time or early: it is. Time and place therefore relate more to a philosophy of matter. In reality, three predicaments (of substance-principle) interest us from a metaphysical point of view: relation, quality and quantity.

You should do a series on Upanishads as it is a highly sophisticated account of metaphysics, perhaps more sophisticated than the Greek counterparts.

It is just a suggestion. Also because of the fact that half of what Schoppenhauer says is either the Upanishads or Buddhist philosophy.

If you look deeper, there is a system of Creation,not in Metaphysics,the one found close enough is Kabbalah, I am Asian and I am not Jewish either, but I do like deep thinkers.I. Found Kabbalah is very close. I had my own set of system too; 3 Parts 1rst- Psychology 2nd- Philosophy 3rd- Analytical. Using this, will set to the new way of thinking, we all thinking in the wrong direction, that is why the is. Mess right now. I hope 2021 my book will finish. So I can come out and give the world.

The first rule of Biogenisis is that life can only come from other life. Your character is metaphysical, not a rock coming to life. That other comment on your comment, is pulling your leg.
