Metaphysical
Metaphysical
Metaphysical: phenomena that do not exist in time and space are themselves supernatural existences, which can be understood through rational thinking or with life. The ultimate thing that can only be felt with the innate sixth sense.
1. A kind of pure academic research that goes beyond concrete science. The meaning can basically be equated with philosophy. A disciple of Aristotle for many generations organized his doctrines and found that some doctrines cannot be classified into concrete science. In the science of science, he coined a word to express this kind of knowledge. A translator in my country found it difficult to translate. When browsing ancient books, he discovered that in the Zhouyi, "the metaphysical is called Tao, and the metaphysical is called utensils." , so the word was translated as metaphysics.
2. Purely academic research can easily turn into dogmatic preaching. Hegel criticized metaphysics as a mechanical and dogmatic research method that is opposed to "dialectics", so this word can also be used. It means dogmatism and is derogatory.
"Metaphysics" in European languages ??comes from Greek, such as "metaphysics" in English. This term was originally the name given to a work by Aristotle by Andronikos, a philosophy teacher from Rhodes in ancient Greece, which means "after physics".
Metaphysics is also called "First Philosophy". For example, Descartes's "Meditations on First Philosophy" is also called "Meditations on First Philosophy". Aristotle divided human knowledge into three parts, using a big tree as a metaphor: the first part, the most basic part, which is the root of the tree, is metaphysics, which is the foundation of all knowledge; the second part is physics, It is like a tree trunk; the third part is other natural sciences, using branches as a metaphor.
The Chinese translation of "Metaphysics" is taken from the phrase "metaphysical is called the Tao, and what is metaphysical is called the implement" in the "Book of Changes".
Metaphysical questions are usually full of controversy and have no definite conclusion. This is partly because the accumulated data of empirical facts, the largest body of human knowledge, often cannot resolve metaphysical disputes; and partly because the words used by metaphysicians are often confusing and their disputes Therefore, it is a bad debt in which each has his own opinion but has no intersection.
Twentieth-century logical positivists objected to certain metaphysical issues. They believe that certain metaphysical questions are meaningless in themselves.
In layman’s terms, metaphysics has two meanings. One refers to looking at things from an isolated, static, one-sided and superficial point of view. The second refers to the study of philosophy that judges things based on intuition (super-experience) alone. Sometimes it also refers to the ontology of philosophy.
In modern times, with the strong spread of scientific rationality in the humanities field, traditional metaphysics has suffered an unprecedented blow. However, judging from the historical process of the development of metaphysics, there are actually three forms of metaphysics: universe ontology, category ontology and meaning ontology. The reality rejected by scientific reason is mainly the ontology of the universe based on speculative fiction. In the post-metaphysical era, in terms of the ontology of meaning, metaphysics has not and will not end.
Only talking about form and not about substance, this is metaphysics
I was very happy when I found out the original text of the "Book of Changes": "What is metaphysical is called the Tao, and what is metaphysical is called a tool." I vaguely feel that metaphysics is more imaginary, while metaphysics is more real. Metaphysics and metaphysics are different: metaphysics refers to the category of virtual thinking and macroscopic thinking; metaphysics refers to the understanding of things that has gone to the extreme and is rigid. Lao Tzu said, "What is metaphysical is called Tao, and what is metaphysical is called tool." This means that metaphysical things refer to Tao, which refers to both philosophical methods and thinking activities. Metaphysical refers to specific, tangible things or objects.
