Todays lecture will concern the topic of the possibility of metaphysics God-willing.
It can be argued for various reasons that metaphysical investigation is intrinsically impossible since its aim, which following Aristotles deliverance is to investigate being qua being. As such it follows that metaphysical inquiry can be considered to be ephereal since it seems absurd to think that objective knowledge about the fundamental constitution of reality is possible from the works of entities that make up that same reality.
If humans live in the world of being how can they be expected to come to true conclusions about the principles that temporally come prior to their (the human) substances?
Let us muse together on this question and see if we can formulate some answers to this extended question in following lectures.
