Book Description
PRESENTATION This book covers the answers to the questions that arise during the training-lessons on Becoming Metaphysics. Metaphysics-Noetics- Religions- History of Religions- Esoteric- Behavioral Sciences- Our Behaviors- Development Secrets- Esoteric- Occult- Enoch Wisdom and many other questions asked by those who attended the training were answered by Mustafa KARNAS and this question was named as being Metaphysical with answers. educational information is included in this book. In the following five subjects; Being metaphysical; 1- Managing your own life 2- Managing the flow of events 3- leading the flow of destiny 4- Managing the future 5- Managing information Mustafa KARNAS BEING METAPHYSICAL Our topic is to manage the flow of destiny, how will we manage our destiny? How easy it is, but hard when you don't know. Let's examine the question of what is to know, knowing is like opening Matryoshka dolls, you go to the deepest, knowing at every trench becomes a function. What else is to know? Knowing is holding, holding is determining a space between references, that is, knowing is measuring. The only reason we know is because we can measure, what we measure is what we perceive. What we perceive means something other than references created by what we know, what we know is what we learned by measuring, knowing also means understanding by changing the measures. With each change of measure or reference, the shape of the information also changes, so the knowing function continues by updating the previously known. With these constantly changing references, even if the information is the same, with the measurements forming a different judgment on everyone, the projection of everyone will be different. Knowing can only happen with the approval of others, so we know what we know only in others, we cannot know anything in ourselves. The most important of the references that tell us what we know are their projections, reflections. For example, if we hear ringing bells in a rural area, even if we do not see it, he tells us that there is a sheep-goat cow herd in a place we cannot see but can hear in the future, with a shepherd and shepherd dogs. Just a bell and a bell show that we know all these things, and if we turn it on, we will move away from the sound if we are afraid of the shepherd dog attack, but if we need help, we approach the sound, and so on. We know because everything we know exists on a scale, if it did not exist on a measure, nothing we know would be because we will never see what we see again, so every we see will be what we do not know and we would never know. Although never knowing is a true reality, the only reason we know is that human perception, violated by the law of uncertainty, has created constants for itself within the existing laws of existence. That is, we are bodies and souls trapped in a continuous repetition of the like in a cyclical hermetic matrix. Therefore, the flow, which is in fact uncertainty, becomes a reality in a narrow space within us, and the measurements we make in that area are always stable, so we know, or we would never have known. The way we know something is influenced by the way the brain processes it, the brain processes information, compares the two when a new flow of information arrives, and orders the motor cortex accordingly. So the only reason we know is because the measurements are stored in snaps, stability and stability is that the brain arranges a mess in its own way. For example, you go to visit someone, there is a dog at the door, the man says "don't be afraid, they won't bite." You don't have this information, you have it. Again, you go to a yacht for a guest, screams coming from the upper floor at 12 at night, you worry, you say, "Don't be afraid, there is nothing, the man is watching a movie", these are the information that everybody gets by measuring the motor cortex and snaps. What else is measuring, does anyone have an idea? Another concept means to measure. Measure means destiny. We have created you on a scale, that is, we have created you on a fate, our subject is destiny. So as long as you stay within the measured, your destiny is determined. If the measurements change, the fate also changes because the main thing is the law, that is, the law of measure appears as projective realities in the form of an array of possibilities in every measurement, but when there is an action to change the measurement, a new measurement is made subject to another law of creation. Therefore, the only fate determined is laws, that is, the rules of the laws of measurement never change, but the fate of the person changes with different laws and measurements. Whose destiny is the fate mentioned? And let's come to the subject of death, whose term is the term, with whom is the agreement made?

Metaphysical Emergence
Author: Jessica M. Wilson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192556975
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Both the special sciences and ordinary experience suggest that there are metaphysically emergent entities and features: macroscopic goings-on (including mountains, trees, humans, and sculptures, and their characteristic properties) which depend on, yet are distinct from and distinctively efficacious with respect to, lower-level physical configurations and features. These appearances give rise to two key questions. First, what is metaphysical emergence, more precisely? Second, is there any metaphysical emergence, in principle and moreover in fact? Metaphysical Emergence provides clear and systematic answers to these questions. Wilson argues that there are two, and only two, forms of metaphysical emergence of the sort seemingly at issue in the target cases: 'Weak' emergence, whereby a dependent feature has a proper subset of the powers of the feature upon which it depends, and 'Strong' emergence, whereby a dependent feature has a power not had by the feature upon which it depends. Weak emergence unifies and illuminates seemingly diverse accounts of non-reductive physicalism; Strong emergence does the same as regards seemingly diverse anti-physicalist views positing fundamental novelty at higher levels of compositional complexity. After defending the in-principle viability of each form of emergence, Wilson considers whether complex systems, ordinary objects, consciousness, and free will are actually metaphysically emergent. She argues that Weak emergence is quite common, and that there is Strong emergence in the important case of free will.

Kant on the Sources of Metaphysics
Author: Marcus Willaschek
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 110859607X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
In the Critique of Pure Reason, Kant famously criticizes traditional metaphysics and its proofs of immortality, free will and God's existence. What is often overlooked is that Kant also explains why rational beings must ask metaphysical questions about 'unconditioned' objects such as souls, uncaused causes or God, and why answers to these questions will appear rationally compelling to them. In this book, Marcus Willaschek reconstructs and defends Kant's account of the rational sources of metaphysics. After carefully explaining Kant's conceptions of reason and metaphysics, he offers detailed interpretations of the relevant passages from the Critique of Pure Reason (in particular, the 'Transcendental Dialectic') in which Kant explains why reason seeks 'the unconditioned'. Willaschek offers a novel interpretation of the Transcendental Dialectic, pointing up its 'positive' side, while at the same time it uncovers a highly original account of metaphysical thinking that will be relevant to contemporary philosophical debates.

Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book is an introduction to metaphysics. It presupposes no previous acquaintance with philosophy, and addresses the following questions: What is metaphysics? Is there a plurality of things, or is there only one thing? Is there an external world, a world of things that exist independently of human thought and sensation? What is time? Is there such a thing as objective truth? Why is there something rather than nothing? Does our existence have a meaning? Are we physical or non-physical beings? Do we have free will? Are there things that do not exist? Do universals exist? This Fifth Edition differs from the Fourth in that the long, previously difficult chapter on time has been extensively rewritten, making it much more accessible and engaging for the student reader.

This book is an introduction to metaphysics. It presupposes no previous acquaintance with philosophy, and addresses the following questions: What is metaphysics? Is there a plurality of things, or is there only one thing? Is there an external world, a world of things that exist independently of human thought and sensation? What is time? Is there such a thing as objective truth? Why is there something rather than nothing? Does our existence have a meaning? Are we physical or non-physical beings? Do we have free will? Are there things that do not exist? Do universals exist? This Fifth Edition differs from the Fourth in that the long, previously difficult chapter on time has been extensively rewritten, making it much more accessible and engaging for the student reader. In addition, the author has enhanced clarity throughout the text with improvements to word choice, sentence structure, and paragraph lucidity. Finally, the Notes and Suggestions for Further Reading at the end of each chapter and the General Bibliography have all been brought up to date. Key Features: Presupposes no prior acquaintance with philosophy, making the book ideal for the undergraduate student or interested general reader Offers 13 chapters, organized into three parts and each with its own introduction: I. The Way the World Is II. Why the World Is III. The Inhabitants of the World Incorporates extensive revisions to Chapter 4 on temporality Includes updates to the Chapter Notes and Suggestions for Further Reading as well as to the General Bibliography
Every Thing Must Go
Author: James Ladyman
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191534757
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Every Thing Must Go argues that the only kind of metaphysics that can contribute to objective knowledge is one based specifically on contemporary science as it really is, and not on philosophers' a priori intuitions, common sense, or simplifications of science. In addition to showing how recent metaphysics has drifted away from connection with all other serious scholarly inquiry as a result of not heeding this restriction, they demonstrate how to build a metaphysics compatible with current fundamental physics ('ontic structural realism'), which, when combined with their metaphysics of the special sciences ('rainforest realism'), can be used to unify physics with the other sciences without reducing these sciences to physics itself. Taking science metaphysically seriously, Ladyman and Ross argue, means that metaphysicians must abandon the picture of the world as composed of self-subsistent individual objects, and the paradigm of causation as the collision of such objects. Every Thing Must Go also assesses the role of information theory and complex systems theory in attempts to explain the relationship between the special sciences and physics, treading a middle road between the grand synthesis of thermodynamics and information, and eliminativism about information. The consequences of the author's metaphysical theory for central issues in the philosophy of science are explored, including the implications for the realism vs. empiricism debate, the role of causation in scientific explanations, the nature of causation and laws, the status of abstract and virtual objects, and the objective reality of natural kinds.

Metaphysical Perspectives
Author: Nicholas Rescher
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268102929
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
In Metaphysical Perspectives, Nicholas Rescher offers a grand vision of how to conceptualize, and in some cases answer, some of the most fundamental issues in metaphysics and value theory. Rescher addresses what he sees as the three prime areas of metaphysical concern: (1) the world as such and the architecture of nature at large, (2) ourselves as nature's denizens and our potential for learning about it, and (3) the transcendent domain of possibility and value. Rescher engages issues across a wide range of metaphysical themes, from different worldviews and ultimate questions to contingency and necessity, intelligent design and world-improvability, personhood and consciousness, empathy and other minds, moral obligation, and philosophical methodology. Over the course of this book, Rescher discusses, with his characteristic fusion of idealism and pragmatism, an integrated overview of the key philosophical problems grounded in an idealistically value-oriented approach. His discussion seeks to shed new light on philosophically central issues from a unified point of view.
