PHIL 330: Metaphysics

Metaphysics

Metaphysics is a normative discipline whose objective is to determine what the best ontology (system of entities, events, properties, and forces) is.

Reductionism

The best ontology is one that reconciles, so far as is possible, the scientific image with the common sense image.

Philosophy of Human Nature

Can we have meaning, mind, and morality without God, immaterial substance, and free will?
