Interviews with quantum physics experts and New Age authors are cut into this story, offering a vaguely convincing (and certainly mind-provoking) theory…

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.

From Physics to Metaphysics


From Physics to Metaphysics


$58.93


Drawn from the Tarner lectures delivered in Cambridge in 1993, this book deals with the ultimate nature of reality, and how this is revealed by modern physical theories such as relativity and quantum theory. The author examines subjectivity in science, and defends the objectivity and rationality of science against the views of relativists and social constructionists. An engaging discussion on the role of modern physics, including relativity theory, quantum theory and statistical mechanics, this book will interest popular science readers as well as students and professionals.

Matters of Metaphysics


$159.32


This selection of Professor Mellors work gathers together sixteen major papers on related topics written over the past fifteen years. Together they form a complete modern metaphysics. The book starts with the mind: the subjectivity of the self, consciousness, how like computers we are, and how psychology relates to physics. It then tackles dispositions, natural kinds, physical necessity, objective chances, laws of nature, and the relation of properties to predicates. From this it moves on to causation: what it relates, how it works, how it accomodates chance and defines one definition of time. Finally, the author shows how chance should affect our expectations and decisions, and how it solves the notorious problem of induction. Author: Mellor, D. H./ D.

Descartes and the Metaphysics of Sensory Perception.


Descartes and the Metaphysics of Sensory Perception.


$115.71


The primary aim of my dissertation is to give a comprehensive account of Descartes view on sensory perception. In the dissertation, I examine his views in relation to scholastic views on sensation, his own mechanistic science, and other related issues such as the mindbody union. I argue that the view on sensory perception adopted by Descartes is a scholastic view that has been tailored to fit his physics, and that his view on sensation in general can be understood only by taking seriously his scholastic roots and by appreciating the importance of his physics.

Fiction and Metaphysics


Fiction and Metaphysics


$70.1


This challenging study places fiction squarely at the center of the discussion of metaphysics. Philosophers have traditionally treated fiction as involving a set of narrow problems in logic or the philosophy of language. By contrast Amie Thomasson argues that fiction has farreaching implications for central problems of metaphysics. The book develops an artifactual theory of fiction, whereby fictional characters are abstract artifacts as ordinary as laws or symphonies or works of literature. In taking seriously the work of literary scholars and in citing a wide range of literary examples, this book will interest not only philosophers concerned with metaphysics and the philosophy of language, but also those in literary theory interested in these foundational issues.
