	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Metaphysics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Metaphysics (Greek words meta = after/beyond and physics = nature) is a branch of philosophy concerned with the study of "first principles" and "being" (ontology).
		Other problems that were considered metaphysical problems for centuries are now typically relegated to their own separate subheadings in philosophy, such as philosophy of religion, philosophy of mind, philosophy of perception, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science.
		The Metaphysics was divided into three parts, now regarded as the traditional branches of Western metaphysics, called (1) ontology, (2) theology, and (3) universal science.

	Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz -- Metaphysics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Eternal or metaphysical or geometrical truths: laws of arithmetic or geometry, for example, which Leibniz claims can be reduced by a finite process of argumentation and substitution of definitions to primary truth.
		The 'metaphysical' level is what is actually happening with monads (no causality, no space, no time at least as ordinarily understood, each monad spontaneously unfolding according to the kind of thing that it is).
		However, Leibniz's metaphysics was highly influential, renewing the Cartesian project of rational metaphysics, and bequeathing a set of problems and approaches that had a huge impact on much of 18th century philosophy.

	Philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The pre-Socratic period was characterized by metaphysical speculation, often preserved in the form of grand, sweeping statements, such as "All is fire", or "All changes".
		The philosophy of this period is characterized by analysis of the nature and properties of God; the metaphysics involving substance, essences and accidents (that is, qualities that are respectively essential to substances possessing them or merely happening to be possessed by them), form, and divisibility; and logic and the philosophy of language.
		The logical positivists denied the soundness of metaphysics and traditional philosophy, and affirmed that statements about metaphysics, religion and ethics are devoid of cognitive meaning and thus nothing but expression of feelings or desires.

		A good general discourse on the genesis of the humors can be found in Book II chapter 8, but much of it is occupied with arguments against Erasistratus, and so may not be appropriate for an introduction to Galen's thought.
		In Descartes' final book, The Passions of the Soul (1649), he outlines the relation, as he saw it, between the mind and body, and presents his theory of the emotions.
		Book II is on pleasure and pain, and Book III on desire.

		The general Heideggerian idea of a value inherent in technology is instanced in the statement that the high technology of factory farming, or ``agribusiness,'' is inseparable from a bad way of relating to nature, understanding it and treating it simply as something to be processed in wholesale fashion for satisfaction of human appetites.
		For both analytic discourse and the Turing machine, the ideal is to transform everything into an ``effective procedure,'' and this is exactly the task of technocratic rationality.

		Many of the problems which Descartes considered are still live issues in epistemology, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind.
		The book is, of course, a philosophical classic and well worth buying (Oxford University Press publish an excellent edition), but if you prefer to get your reading free and online, look no further than here on eserver.org (
		Is it a metaphysical inexactness—is there something demonstrably less exact about the entities referred to by, for example, a psychologist—or is it simply linguistic?
