Metaphysics has much indepth knowledge which is not
understood by many.
What do you think? Answer below!
I love ’em both… but I being an active ‘Believer”, I would say I’d have slight leanings towards the former
What about yo’self??
You’ve been analytical enough in your comment – I’ll go for the metaphysical.
Metaphysical. I always like to look beyond the “tried and “true” to the “uncharted” and “possible”.
Do they have to be separate? The very study of logic, mathematics and semantics hinges on the concept of mind-independent, or -dependent, objects. Same goes for reason. And without causality, a great deal of logic and mathematics would suffer, as would most scientific concepts. I apologize, but I have a great difficulty imagining one without the other. Were I to choose, I would have to select metaphysics, but analytic philosophy seems more of a subset shared between metaphysics and epistemology.
