met·a·phys·ics

met·a·phys·ics
ˌmedəˈfiziks/
noun
  1. the branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, substance, cause, identity, time, and space.
    • abstract theory or talk with no basis in reality.
      "his concept of society as an organic entity is, for market liberals, simply metaphysics"


I also like to think of this term as a generic reference to philosophy.  Since I spend a whole heap of time thinking about how people think in terms of ideas and life in general, it was once upon a time of an instance when I gave this some thought that a spark of an idea (not quite a lightbulb) ignited for a brief instant.  I tried to make note of it because I knew I would want to post it here...

1) The prime thesis of Humanistic metaphysics is that new is better than old.  Man and logic and liberal philosophical perspective are always improving.  Traditional ideas are outdated and obsolete.

2) There is no rule or standard, no foundation for truth.  Truth is subjective and always changing, never the same.  The values of the progressive are the only values of value.  There are absolutely no absolutes.  Only those who embrace the progressive philosophy are tolerant.  All opposing views must be eradicated.

This is not much of a start... I will try to think on it some more and update...
