www.philorum.org is back online. Sat 01 Mar 2008 What is metaphysics? (Matthew Hammerton)
Metaphysics is often viewed as one of the most important and fundamental branches of philosophy. In fact, one of the terms Aristotle used to describe this branch of philosophy was "first philosophy". But what is metaphysics? In this talk I will survey several candidate answers to this question and assess their viability. Ultimately I will suggest that no answer proves entirely satisfactory. Nevertheless, asking this question and examining potential answers can help us form a general view of the nature and scope of metaphysics. Time and Place for Philorum Group @ Broadway 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month. Mornings: 09:15 for a 09:30 Start. Finish 12:30 (Feel free to come and go at any point during the morning.) Humanist House 10 Shepherd St Chippendale Sydney, Australia (Just off Broadway.) Cost: $3. _______________________________________________ SydPhil mailing list [email protected] List Info: http://lists.arts.usyd.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/sydphil NEW LIST ARCHIVE: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
