Metaphysics is what Aristotle described as 'the First Philosophy' or 'first science,' a comprehensive inquiry into the ultimate nature of reality. As such, metaphysics consists of a systematic study of the more general categories of being and of the more general ways of relating entities. The Historical Dictionary of Metaphysics focuses on metaphysics in Western philosophy, the metaphysical tradition that developed under the influence of Greek philosophy, and especially Plato and Aristotle. It offers a comprehensive guide to the many facets of metaphysics through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on concepts, people, works, and technical terms. This volume is an invaluable resource for student and scholar alike.

Citater

  • Jan Nohar citeretfor 2 år siden
    Categories are of explanatory value in metaphysics partly because a category is an essential kind: a kind such that, necessarily, whatever belongs to it belongs to it essentially.

    However, a nonspatial spirit or soul would be a concrete entity of an atypical sort that lacks spatial or temporal parts.
  • Jan Nohar citeretfor 2 år siden
    (D1) x is a concrete entity = df. x belongs to an ontological category (at Level C) that has among its possible instances entities having spatial or temporal parts,6 and (D2) x is an abstract entity = df. x is not a concrete entity
