The Role of Metaphysics in Science: An Extrapolation in Meta-Metaphysics
Abstrak
Abstract The work carried forward by this paper is simply to spotlight the said prospect of certain Metaphysical presuppositions in Science. This paper takes recourse to the Aristotelian idea of Metaphysics as the first philosophy, redirecting to two conceptions of the ubiquity of Metaphysics in Science, first by Claudia Ribeiro, and the second by Anjan Chakravartty. The paper will then state that in a Metaphysical Spectrum, science and all other types of Empirical Knowledge are simply at their base, Metaphysical theorising. Science is not simply a posteriori content, but it also contains a priori dimensions, which are substantiated in the course of this essay. Finally, the prospect of a naturalisation of metaphysics to save it from scientific underdetermination will be analysed.
