TAILIEUCHUNG - Metaphysics

The papers in this volume provide us with a good sample of contemporary metaphysical inquiries. The first essay, by Zovko and Zovko, develops an account of the nature of metaphysical inquiry in general, which account is grounded in the history of this discipline. Their essay illuminates the great divide between ancient and medieval thought, on the one hand and modern and post-modern metaphysical thinking, on the other. The authors finally argue for a species of anti-realist idealism and for the necessity of metaphysical thinking within the dominant contemporary focus on the subject of experience. They conclude with a powerful argument for the social embedded-ness of metaphysical reflection | METAPHYSICS Edited by Mark Pestana Metaphysics Edited by Mark Pestana Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
