	The Mystics of Islam
		Just as the Christian type cannot be understood without reference to Christianity, so the Mohammedan type must be viewed in connexion with the outward and inward development of Islam.
		Difficult are the paths which they threaded, dark and bewildering the pathless heights beyond; but even if we may not hope to accompany the travellers to their journey's end, any information that we have gathered concerning their religious environment and spiritual history will help us to understand the strange experiences of which they write.
		The mainspring of Moslem religious life during the eighth century was fear--fear of God, fear of Hell, fear of death, fear of sin--but the opposite motive had already begun to make its influence felt, and produced in the saintly woman Rabi‘a at least one conspicuous example of truly mystical self-abandonment.

	Immanuel Kant
		Kant already knew the type, who "were ever taking for granted that which he doubted, and demonstrating with zeal and often with impudence that which he never thought of doubting..." [Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysics, p.
		Hegel denied the first, by taking the equivalent of Kant's Transcendental Deduction as itself a part of metaphysics and a proof, by means of novel principles of "dialectical" logic, of moral and metaphysical truths.
		This might work on the basis of Spinoza's metaphysics, where my existence is God's existence, but God's knoweldge far transcends mine.

	Marcelo Dascal: THE BALANCE OF REASON
		A defender of the Balance of Reason will usually argue that such a divergence merely indicates that we are often victims of the intervention of causes extraneous to reasoning proper, of the type mentioned in connection with the first problem.
		Just as a balance may be imperceptibly affected by a magnetic or gravitational field acting differentially on one of its scales, so too socio-historical or psychological pressures (e.g., current prejudices, traditions, political interests, passions, limitations of attention or memory, unconscious desires) may surreptitiously take the place of reasons.
		If we had a balance of reasons, where the arguments presented in favor and against the case were weighed precisely and the verdict could be pronounced in favor of the most inclined scale...

	The Metaphysics of Writing
		If in your writing you employ a time structure (like when you tell a story which has a beginning in time and an end in time), be aware of a special type of flow called the pace.
		Balance is not a passive ability - it's an active process; a flux.
		The structure of metaphysical image should be projected clearly into the multi-layered meanings of the written words.

	Fractal records: Catalogue
		Group Musica is an ensemble that pursues the free use of every type of Western and Eastern musical instrument, is propelled by the vibrations of very subtle rhythms, and that has internalized the methodology of minimalism.
		Writer, film maker, Bulteau also carried out 5 albums in solo (whose “Rinçures” on Fractal in 1999) it is the last of the electric poets and its meeting with Geoffrois was also electric… Bulteau created a rock band but it is Geoffrois which created the dynamics of the group.
		Well received by many critics today, Ilitch took a solid place in the french underground scene from that area and was a serious source of influence on several groups/artists such as The Legendary Pink Dots for instance.

	Consciousness
		Identity theory, at least strict psycho-physical type-type identity theory, offers another strongly reductive option by identifying conscious mental properties, states and processes with physical ones, most typically of a neural or neurophysiological nature.
		No brief survey could be close to comprehensive, but six main types of theories may help to indicate the basic range of options: higher-order theories, representational theories, cognitive theories, neural theories, quantum theories and nonphysical theories.
		Locke's contemporary G.W. Leibniz, drawing possible inspiration from his mathematical work on differentiation and integration, offered a theory of mind in the Discourse on Metaphysics (1686) that allowed for infinitely many degrees of consciousness and perhaps even for some thoughts that were unconscious, the so called “petit perceptions”.

	Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz -- Metaphysics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		(See 'Discourse on Metaphysics' §13 and 'Correspondence with Arnauld', April 12th, 1686.) My actions are, therefore, not necessary by definition (regardless at this point of which type of 'truth of existence' they fall under).
		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.
		('Discourse on Metaphysics', §30, my emphasis) By this 'indifference', Leibniz means a 'physical' indifference - that is to say, there is no universal-physical truth, as defined above, which governs human action.

	Russell's Paradox [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Once again, here the challenge is to explain the metaphysics of classes or sets in order to explain the philosophical grounds of the type-division.
		Classes are only supposed to exist if their defining conditions are so as to not involve what would, in type theory, be a violation of types.
		Therefore, there is no such thing as the class of all classes that are not members of themselves, because for any class, the question of whether it is in itself is a violation of type.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philosophy
		Two centuries before Anselm, Scotus Eriugena, the father of anti-Scholasticism, is the completest type of the Deductionist: his metaphysics is one long description of the Divine Odyssey, inspired by the neo-Platonic, monistic conception of the descent of the One in its successive generations.
		The philosophy of nature, or speculative philosophy, is divided into metaphysics, mathematics, and physics, according to the three stages traversed by the intelligence in its effort to attain a synthetic comprehension of the universal order, by abstracting from movement (physics), intelligible quantity (mathematics), being (metaphysics) ( In lib.

	The Holy Family by Marx and Engels
		French materialism’s connection with Descartes and Locke and the opposition of eighteenth-century philosophy to seventeenth-century metaphysics are presented in detail in most recent French histories of philosophy.
		To the Critical history of French materialism we shall oppose a brief outline of its ordinary, mass-type history.
		The whole wealth of metaphysics now consisted only of beings of thought and heavenly things, at the very time when real beings and earthly things began to be the centre of all interest.

	Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
		Thus the metaphysics of Parmenides and Heraclitus, for example, line up with the thought determinations “being” and “becoming” at the beginning of Being-logic while Essence-logic culminates in concepts bound up with modern forms of substance metaphysics as found in Spinoza and Leibniz.
		Thus, for example, the capacity to adopt the type of objective viewpoint demanded by Kantian morality (discussed in the final section of Spirit) -- the capacity to see things, as it were, from a “universal” point of view -- is bound up with the attitude implicitly adopted in engaging with spirit's “alienations.”
		In the family the particularity of each individual tends to be absorbed into the social unit, giving this manifestation of Sittlichkeit a one-sidedness that is the inverse of that found in market relations in which participants grasp themselves in the first instance as separate individuals who then enter into relationships that are external to them.

	Apologetics.com: Challenging Believers to Think and Thinkers to Believe
		This type of philosophical apologetics is not accepted by all Christian intellectuals, e.g., various species of what may be loosely called Reformed epistemology run the gamut from seeing a modest role for a positive direct defense to an outright rejection of this type of activity.
		Training in logic, metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics are crucial parts of local church discipleship in this regard.
		A century earlier, the great Reformed pastor Richard Baxter was faced with lukewarmness in the church and unbelief outside the church.

	Homonymy and the Science of Being as Being
		Some scholars have construed dialectic as a special type of argument resting on a specially defined class of opinions: opinions accepted by all people, or most people, or 'the wise' (and of those, all, or most, or the most famous).
		Strong Dialectic : this, according to Irwin, is the methodological key to the Metaphysics, and indeed to all of Aristotle's mature thought.
		This can be combined with another view of Owen's: the Metaphysics introduces a science of being as being by devising an alternative between homonymy and synonymy.

	Metaphysics Principles Reality: Quotes by Philosophers Aristotle, Leibniz, Hume, Kant, Einstein on Metaphysics Truth
		It is certainly true that most of the great metaphysicians have proposed radically revised pictures of the world, bold, comprehensive and often startling; and that most of them have accorded a central place in the picture to some few key concepts, or to some specially favored type of entities given the title of 'substance'.
		It is also true that the choice of key concepts and entities, and the resultant picture of the world, have varied greatly from one metaphysician to another.
		He said it was the science of existence in general, or of 'being as such', contrasting it in this respect with the various special sciences which each studied only one part or aspect of being.

	Science in Christian Perspective
		Cosmology is perhaps one of the most interesting theoretical and empirical fields for the purposes of a paper such as this because it reveals the more abstract type of scientific thinker at work and because it is also closely related to matters of philosophical and religious concern.
		Of course we can only examine a few of the many influences of this type, but we shall attempt to center our remarks around a unifying thread which one might call religio-metaphysical.
		The first of these is that stultifying biases to science, historically arising from religion and metaphysics, are least serious when operating in a Popperian view of the task of scientific theories.
