Has anybody heard of these schools? The University of Metaphysics or University of Sedona?
These schools appear to have a great program, however, it is an online education and I want to know if anyone has any experience with these schools? I don’t want to be buying my credentials and I am checking here and elsewhere to validate the authenticity of these school programs. Any and all assistance will be appreciated.
I am sorry to report that degrees fromn these schools are not taken seriously in academia. (They’re actually the same place, I believe.) Anyone with a few dollars can “earn” these degrees.
These schools are the invention of a certain Paul Masters who is a practitioner of new age spirituality, and not an active scholar who publishes through respected presses and journals. Parapsychology and metaphysics (as improperly defined by Masters) are not recognized academic fields of study.
At a proper university, metaphysics is a field within the study of philosophy, not a practiced spirituality.
If you are seeking to study the history and practice of New Thought in the US, a history or religious studies department within any reputable college or university would be the place to earn such a degree.
If you wish to practice New Thought as your own spirituality, rather than to study its history and permutations, then you have no need to attend university, just join a New Thought church or society. There are many in major metropolitan areas throughout the US.

Metaphysics: Third Edition $49.91 This essential core text introduces readers to metaphysics. In thoughtful and engaging prose, Peter van Inwagen examines three profound questions; What are the most general features of the world? Why is there a world? And, what is the place of human beings in the world? The third edition includes an entirely new chapter on ontology. The new chapter presents a theory of the nature of being and proceeds to apply this theory to two problems of ontology; the problem of nonexistent objects and the problem of universals. Equally valuable as a textbook in a university course or an introduction to metaphysical thinking for the interested layperson, Metaphysics remains a fascinating book for a wide range of readers, from firsttime students to the most sophisticated philosophers.

Analysis and Metaphysics: An Introduction to Philosophy $67.08 All developed human beings possess a practical mastery of a vast range of concepts, including such basic structural notions as those of identity, truth, existence, material objects, mental states, space, and time; but a practical mastery does not entail theoretical understanding. It is that understanding which philosophy seeks to achieve. In this book, one of the most distinguished of living philosophers, assuming no previous knowledge of the subject on the part of the reader, sets out to explain and illustrate a certain conception of the nature of analytical philosophy. Strawson draws on his many years of teaching at Oxford University, during which he refined and developed what he regards as the most productive route to understanding the fundamental structure of human thinking. Among the distinctive features of his exposition are the displacement of an older, reductive conception of philosophical method (the ideal of analyzing complex ideas into simpler elements) in favor of elucidating the interconnections between the complex but irreducible notions which form the basic structure of our thinking; and the demonstration that the three traditionally distinguished departments of metaphysics (ontology), epistemology, and logic are but three aspects of one unified enquiry. Strawson has produced an elegant work that will be invaluable to students and stimulating for professional philosophers and general readers alike. Author: Strawson, P. F. Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 160 Publication Date: 1992/06/04 Language: English Dimensions: 8.49 x 5.48 x 0.50 inches |

Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysics of Morals $14.29 How should human beings behave toward one another? How must we behave? One of the most influential thinkers of the Western civilization, a man who profoundly shaped the mindset of the modern world, Immanuel Kant developed his Categorical Imperative as a philosophical proof of the Golden Rule, and in this 1873 essay, he elaborates upon and defends his understanding of the logical underpinnings of all human morality. Essential reading for anyone seeking an appreciation of modern philosophy, this is an intriguing and provocative work exploring the intersection of morality and reason.

Metaphysics $111.53 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science. Cosmology and ontology are traditional branches of metaphysics. It is concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world.Someone who studies metaphysics would be called either a metaphysician or a metaphysicist. The prefix meta ( beyond ) was attached to the chapters in Aristotles work that physically followed after the chapters on physics, in posthumously edited collections. Aristotle himself did not call these works Metaphysics. Aristotle called some of the subjects treated there first philosophy. A central branch of metaphysics is ontology, the investigation into what types of things there are in the world and what relations these things bear to one another. The metaphysician also attempts to clarify the notions by which people understand the world, including existence, objecthood, property, space, time, causality, and possibility.
