CHAPTER

Is Metaphysics a Waste of Time?

Patrica, do you have a definition of metaphysics you are working with? No, i don't. I mean, i'm very old fashioned. The scholars who assembled aristotle's work, i had the book called physics in which they put the material that was relevant to physics. Andtey, it didn't really fit in with the ncomcian ethics, and so they called it the book after physics, metaphysics. Now, philosophers, especially in what we may call the tick talk of metaphysics, have become really enamored at giving a very deep meaning to metaphysics. Quite honestly, i find it sort of a waste of time.
