to grok Metaphysics

Post by Advocate »

Meta-physics is all of the deepest "What is the nature of.." questions;

time, space, life, consciousness, infinity, reality, etc.

The kernel of metaphysics is called ontology - what is the nature of being/existence itself, and the answer is The Prime Metaphor; a yin/yang relationship between our internal and external experience. Experience itself/experience of.

Outside is undifferentiated stuff. Inside are purpose distinguished things.

For practical purposes, 'experience itself/experience of' may be a good and commonly used one.

As fundamental ontology, it's probably a misleading duality that Occam's razor does away with.
