Physics without Metaphysics?. This item is unavailable.Physics without Metaphysics?

This study discusses the substance-tradition from Aristotle to Kant, Gödel, Quine, Strawson, Armstrong and others, the concept of matter and causation in quantum physics, Being-thinking from Aristotle to Heidegger, and system-building from Plato to Whitehead. It synthesizes the Kantian phenomena-noumena, extends the Quinean ontological commitment, creates a Gödelian foundationalist truth-probabilism, relativizes the Whiteheadian actual entity, extends the Aristotelian-Heideggerian Being to a nomic-nominal, verbal-processual To Be and overhauls perspectival-absolutist, non-foundationalist and relativist concepts of Reality. The resulting scientific ontology is termed Einaic Ontology for maximalist, mutually collusive, categorial reasons. The Appendix explains Heidegger’s anthropologized Being as ontologically and cosmologically defective.

Raphael Neelamkavil is a philosopher of physics with a keen interest in cosmology, mathematical physics and science-based metaphysics. He has published several articles and the book Causal Ubiquity in Quantum Physics: A Superluminal and Local-Causal Physical Ontology. Currently he is pursuing a second doctorate (philosophy of the cosmos) in Germany.
