Metaphysics: What There Is
Systematic thought
about the true nature of things is the very foundation of philosophical
reasoning: idealism and materialism…realism, nominalism, and
conceptualism…the noumenal and the phenomenal…logical positivism,
emergentism, and modal realism. In this program, Rutgers philosophers Brian
McLaughlin, Barry Loewer, John Hawthorne, Ted Sider, and Dean Zimmerman
discuss the nature of this most ancient branch of philosophy, exploring
concepts of causation, time, necessity, and possibility and contemplating
the big questions of “Who am I?” and “Where am I?” In the process, they
reference the works and theories of Aristotle, Plato, William of Ockham,
Hume, Kant, Mill, Leibniz, and others. (43 minutes) The DVD version has
on-demand English subtitles and can be viewed using a DVD player or computer
DVD-ROM drive.
