Metaphysics (Classic Reprint): A Study in First Principles: A Study in First Principles (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Metaphysics: A Study in First Principles explores the limits of scientific and geometric explanations of reality, prompting readers to question what truly underlies the world we see. It revisits foundational questions about knowledge and reality, arguing that traditional mechanistic views often fail to capture the depth of being and its relations.
This volume surveys the history and status of mechanics, the role of forces, and the ideas of action, least action, and energy. It weighs how theories are built, tested, and sometimes challenged by deeper metaphysical questions, including the contingency of laws and the possibility of purpose in nature. The discussion moves from specific mechanical principles to broader questions about science, philosophy, and faith, highlighting how moral convictions influence what we count as certain knowledge.
What you’ll experience
- A clear critique of the idea that physics alone can fully explain existence
- An examination of motion, force, and the limits of mathematical law in describing reality
- A thoughtful look at how conceptions of purpose and morality shape scientific inquiry
- Reflections on how rational science and theistic belief might relate in understanding the world
Ideal for readers of mental and moral philosophy, and anyone curious about how science and philosophy intersect in questions about reality and knowledge.
