Evolutionary Metaphysics

Definition

Evolutionary Metaphysics is the discipline that, in the context of Evolutionary Knowledge, studies the Process of Formation of Metareality or better the Process of Formation of Cognitive Reality, the product of cognitive processes, the representations that living organisms (or better, the "Finalist Agents") "), from the simplest to the most complex, develop within the evolutionary processes that characterize life.

Common definition

Metaphysics is that part of philosophy which, going beyond the contingent elements of the sensible experience, deals with the aspects considered to be the most authentic and fundamental of reality, according to the widest and most universal perspective possible. It aims at the study of the entities "as such" in their entirety, unlike the particular sciences which, generally, deal with their individual empirical determinations, according to specific points of view and methodologies. In an attempt to overcome the unstable, changeable, and accidental elements of phenomena, metaphysics focuses its attention on what it considers eternal, stable, necessary, absolute, to try to grasp the fundamental structures of being. In this perspective, the relationships between metaphysics and ontology are very close, so much so that since ancient times it has been customary to enclose the sense of metaphysics in the incessant search for an answer to the fundamental metaphysical question "why being rather than nothing? » Problems such as the question of the existence of God, of the immortality of the soul, of being" in itself ", of the origin and meaning of the cosmos belong to the sphere of traditional metaphysical research. as well as the question of the possible relationship between the transcendence of Being and the immanence of material entities (ontological difference).
