Metaphysics

Metaphysics is defined as that which is beyond the physical, it is the study of the abstract of being and God, speaking of metaphysics cannot say that if there is something real, everything is real and yet cannot be. While metaphysics is the mechanism of reality or realities, as in if everything is real. It is more real, the material arose from the spiritual, and the spiritual is a permanent realm, whereas everything in the material realm will one day passes away; or at least be radically altered into a new state of existence (Runes, 2000). Whoever believes in the existence of the spirit world (whatever religion you may be in) probably believes there is also a greater intelligence, but of an unknown quantity. So there must be another reality somewhere that is very different from our own. This was Plato's theory. He felt that there was another world that was unchanging and perfect, while ours is temporal and constantly changing. He believed the other world was more real, as it did not change.

The soul is the next evolution of survival, to reach the ultimate goal, eternal life. We have the free will underneath, somewhere. It may be hidden and we don't always recognize that because we keep making up excuses, in order to avoid some things we would wish to do.

We know anything because set of words helps us understand that in taking scientific knowledge as the center of their concerns, what the epistemologist is to improve the knowledge, increasing their usefulness and value to the social level. There are precisely two sources of knowledge about the world--rationality and experience we get to know about things through these two sources. According to Marxist philosophy, the practice is manifested as a starting point or base of knowledge process and criterion of truth or the wisdom of knowledge (Hoffman, 2007). Social practice is the basis of knowledge; clarify what is and what trade plays in the process of knowledge. Knowledge subjective and objective all knowledge is objective and subjective time. Objective, because it corresponds to reality, subjective, because thinking is permeated by elements implicit in the act of cognition.

According to Aquinas reason as a way of knowledge cannot prove what belongs to faith, but can serve to demonstrate the preambles of faith, truths whose proof is necessary to faith ...
