PHRL 34000 Metaphysics
GE-Human Culture: Philosophy Metaphysics is a sub-field of philosophy that studies the most general and abstract aspects of reality. For instance, what does it mean for something to exist at all? What exactly is causation? What is it to be a substance? How does any concrete entity relate to its properties? Is every entity determined to behave as it does, or do some entities have free-will? Are questions like these even answerable? In this course, we examine Western philosophical approaches to these exciting questions.
