Does Metaphysics Exist? Depends on The Definition.
Dec 19, 2019, 7:03 PM The question is only whether metaphysics = paradigm. As far as I know it does (must). So to say there is no such thing as metaphysics, is only to say that there is no such thing as relativism. In other words, there is either a most parsimonious paradigm for the…
