Week 7

Metaphysics are the only thing I would consider non-fundamentalist and non-dogmatic. This simple statement is tainted by one thing I believe true. I believe that if a metaphysic is the right metaphysic it should come to a point where it is irrefutably connected to our world. At that point the revelation of truth would unveil everything that we can know, but before true metaphysics, the only thing that I know is that every metaphysic is likely wrong because it cannot predict and explain. Metaphysics, as the philosophical discipline with the most potential, still lacks the one element that would make it universal, which is truth. If the underlying truth is too complex or just not for us to discover I don’t know, I wouldn’t want to call metaphysics pointless but it seems unefficient to a level, where I am unsure that anyone of human capacity should investigate it. There is enough to think about that is too vague and unexplained, in my opinion, to waste time on metaphysics. I think a cultural-first-approach to being is more useful, but that is me, as an Existentialist, talking. Maybe tomorrow someone will discover universal truth, likely, I think not.
