As a student of Metaphysics myself I'm always curious how others explain the subject area as I find many people hold misconceptions to what metaphysics really is. I loved the way you explained "What is metaphysics". Brilliant video!
Thank you. I love how you said it's the school of being and the school of becoming without referencing to Heraclitus and Parmanides. It pretty much made things easier to understand and put into context
Every thing is a pattern with a purpose and the resolution of the purpose determines the resolution of the pattern. All things are real as a pattern in a mind. Whether they have an external referent is a separate question. Part of the boundary conditions of a thing are how and how much it can change and still be equivalent for the purpose. A thing is still the same thing as long as it has continuity within the bounds of purpose.
Oh, yes, Shoada, you will not only have to watch that again you will likely have to watch that for the rest of your natural life. Even then you will never thoroughly absorb the message.
good summary of metaphysics, didn' t hear much about free will, moral responsibility, determinism. Maybe you would like to include some more theorists into this and say link them in the description. But still very useful, gave you a like.
Post-metaphysics? Not a problem. Post-metaphysics is a condition where the individual has studied metaphysics for many years and has finally been placed in a mental institution from all the stress of attempting to gain even a smidgeon of understanding of what it's all about. It's an ugly thing. You don't want to go there.
@@PaulTheSkeptic I think he is aware its narrow. But his statement is an excellent starting point for anyone who wants to understand what metaphysics is. When I read his statement it all instantly clicked and I am now ready to understand the term on a much wider and intellectual level.
Metaphysics aka “a priori” knowledge exist in thought only, not in reality. Theology is an argument from personal incredulity, where the theist perceives God as the only answer.
@@chosenskeptic5319 Existence is evidently designed and created in ways that infer a master supernatural creative entity. This is not a "theistic" or religious deduction. it is empirically evident, rational and logical. Explosions of nothing into nowhere require a quasi-religious faith in tales men tell.
To answer your question the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space. Your not slow your just not listening close enough.
+Desmond Nunya metaphysics. the identity we place on a nation. people who live in a geographical area change but the idea stays. examples of metaphysics. nationalism, rivers, language. computer software.
You're not slow. You've got a lot on the cap. Explanations of metaphysics are designed to drive you to drink. If you haven't arrived you'll get there soon enough.
We are only able perceive the current existence by our bio hardware as it is a formulated system of various sensory components connectivity grown into existence. We are only able to perceive it through that construct as it is. And experience it through what ever lifeform we may be to swim through it during that course of it's life. Try to imagine experiencing the current reality of existence outside your personal perceivance and see how hard it is. If a lifeform has not thought of it to the point of being but into near migraines & seizes, then it has not thought of it hard enough.
+Saral Thakur: probably so, it's no secret to it. You is you are it or your not. So it could mumbo jumbo or not. It has majorly been through out religions for a really long time. I was given visions of that past and what it was like (the air) and it was so much better and easier to read in comings through village people beyond the castle walls from what land and direction it came from but today there is so many people around and radio waves flying around it is like true fog compared to the 1600 and farther back. So It's for you to figure out or not.
+Saral Thakur: it only real if you make pretend it is real. It could just of pure imagination playful activities between people for games. Like playing cards is a game and Tarot cards are fun games to play. It is just for fun and games.
It is not understandable because we are measuring a system from within in it. It is a wild stretch due to the above, but reality can be modeled as a wave of probabilities that collapses..... so being or becoming? The equation is static (being) however properties changes i.e. f(x) => (becoming) the outcome. The question is what is the equation? Good luck with that! Thanks my only issue is the following. Why is Academic philosphy so stuck on European or Asian thought? Could it be that there are not other peoples that asked these questions...of course there was .. maybe it was destroyed....dig deeper brother .....there is something there ..... Good Video
Probably Dualism is correct. Everything around us is opposite to each other YET it cant exist WITHOUT each other. (or maybe it can, but then it would be something different in itself, some another 'parallel universe' which we dont experience, so we dont talk about that) This BALANCE that these two opposite sides create - THIS is our world that we experience. The best example that i came up is a magnet with its S and N sides. But there are countless other ones like: day and nigh (light and darkness), man and woman, chicken and an egg, just look around and find others for yourself! Also every EMOTION has this nature as well. Love\hate, Relief\Frustration, happines\sadness (you cant understand what is happines if you only can experience sadness, or vise versa, same with being rich\poor, etc). Also lets not forget that even atoms consist of oppositely charged particles and they make everything... If talking about fundamental parts that make our world run and look how it is, I think it would be energy and information. But where those two came from, I don't know. Maybe it is the wrong question ( like chicken and egg one) and they always were. Sorry if my English was a bit crap, ha!
+Yuriy “Lazovets” Demenko Good summary. Your English is fine. We live in a world of opposites. This is why dualism must be false. A world of opposites cannot arise from a prior world of opposites and so ad infinitum. It must arise from a state of unity, as is claimed by the perennial philosophy and mysticism in general. Problem solved, but at the price of abandoning the Academy and its dogma.
@@truthseeker1871 My apologies but I truly do not understand the quote. If the world isn't real, and since our perception of what "top" is comes from whatever the collective us believe "top" means. How is one supposed to get anywhere than/then were they are now???
Change is reality as we and everything is in the spectrum of change. We are always moving into the future ie if you are sitting in chair and then stand up you have moved forward into the future as you perceive your future.

Idealism must by necessicity lead to solipsism, that is, nothing exists except one's idea of oneself and one's ideas of the universe. This.means one's grandparents are.but one's ideas of them.

A down-to-earth and honest survey of metaphysics. Good job. Thank you, Joseph.
Best description of metaphysics ever! Well done.
Hey dear Joseph, thank you for your time and easy explaining! Loved it!
This was fascinating !!!!!!!!! My friend has just opened me up to this and you explained really well. so THANK YOU
Thank you for that. I enjoyed this video. Good introduction!
Nice video, a rather nice summary for those of us who have no idea where to start.
It was so good!! It was not just an answer for 'What is metaphysics?', rather it summarized most of the western philosophy!!! Thanks a lot
Thank you. I love how you said it's the school of being and the school of becoming without referencing to Heraclitus and Parmanides. It pretty much made things easier to understand and put into context
Refreshing manner of being, teaching and interacting🤗...#following and gratitude 🙋♀️(the effect😉)
You clarified a lot in this short video - great use of time :)
Metaphysics is all of the deepest "What is the nature of" questions; time, space, energy, matter, self, consciousness, infinity, paradox, etc.
Your videos are awesome!!! Thank you so much for the explanations. Hope to see some videos soon! (;
Great video!
Mr John: which right book u recommend 2 know more on metaphysics. 💐
Fantastic talk!!!
So a metaphysic question will be like What happens after death. Am I correct?
Do we have enough energy within us to change physical matter?
More videos on metaphysics please
Thank very much.good explanation in simple way ontology.
Do an overview of the philosophical theory Dialectical Materialism. Also do videos on Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy.
Sir what is the role of metaphysics in curriculum development? Kindly explain with some examples.
Every thing is a pattern with a purpose and the resolution of the purpose determines the resolution of the pattern. All things are real as a pattern in a mind.

Mind is a metaphor for the patterns in the brain.
Can science messure the metaphysical
No
Excellent explanation thanks a lot
Soooo helpful, thank you!
Interesting video man.

What is "Post-metaphysics" ?
+Soymilllk a more complete understanding of ideas. or omniscience. we would need a giant super computer to get to post metaphysics.

Man you disapperead!!! why!?? post some more videos please!!
Great video :-) you have made my brain turn to mush. Thanks for sharing
Mush. Yes. That was the objective. Mission accomplished. Who was the genius who said that?
This person didn't explain metaphysics.
Meta-physic: "Beyond" - "Physical"
The mind is metaphysical
The brain is physical
That's a very narrow definition of a vast and disperate branch of philosophy.

Basically its going beyond the physical and getting at the root of anything. The root of water is suppose to be two hydrogen atoms and oxygen atom h20
it's good but u aren't explain d/f b/n metaphysics and ontology.
So is metaphysics the act of over thinking everything?
We are only able perceive the current existence by our bio hardware as it is a formulated system of various sensory components connectivity grown into existence. We are only able to perceive it through that construct as it is. And experience it through what ever lifeform we may be to swim through it during that course of it's life.

Yes! A wave of possibilities. The wave is the keyword.
Stephen Martin keep it simple.
is it safe to say that metaphysics is what the ancient philosophers would call their laws of physics in a broader sense?
