The Metaphysical Club was a conversational philosophical club that the future Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. , the philosopher and psychologist William James , and the philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce formed in January 1872 in Cambridge, Massachusetts and dissolved in December 1872. Upon Peirce s arrival at Johns Hopkins University in 1879, he founded a new Metaphysical Club there. Despite the name, these academic philosophical discussion groups pursued critical thinking of a pragmatist and positivist nature and rejected traditional European metaphysics. ref name menand Menand, Louis.

unreferenced date January 2008 About the metaphysical position other uses Nihilism disambiguation nihilism Metaphysical nihilism is the philosophy philosophical theory that there might have been no objects at all, i.e. that there is a possible world in which there are no objects at all or at least that there might have been no concrete objects at all, so even if every possible world contains some objects, there is at least one that contains only abstract object s. fact date March 2012 The most common argument for metaphysical nihilism is the subtraction argument. In its simplest form, this runs as follows There could have been finitely many things. For each thing, that thing might not have existed. The removal of one thing does not necessitate the introduction of another. Therefore, there could have been no things at all. The idea is that there is a possible world with finitely many things you can then get another possible world by taking one of its inhabitants away and you don t need to add any other thing as its replacement then you can take another thing away, and another, until you re left with a possible world that is empty. While intuitive, some philosophers argue that there are necessarily some concrete objects. It is a consequence of David Kellogg Lewis s concrete modal realism that it s impossible that no concrete objects exist for since worlds are concrete, there is at least one concrete object the world itself at each world. E.J. Lowe has likewise argued that there are necessarily some concrete objects. His argument runs as follows. Necessarily, there are some abstract objects, such as numbers. The only possible abstract objects are sets or universals but both of these depend on the existence of concrete objects their members or the things that instantiate them, respectively . Therefore, there are necessarily some concrete objects. Category Nihilism Category Metaphysical theories philosophy stub ... more details

Image The Disquieting Muses.jpg thumb right 200px The Disquieting Muses by Giorgio de Chirico. Metaphysical art lang it Pittura metafisica , style of painting that flourished mainly between 1911 and 1920 in the works of the Italian artists Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carr . The movement began with Chirico, whose dreamlike works with sharp contrasts of light and shadow often had a vaguely threatening, mysterious quality. De Chirico, his younger brother Alberto Savinio , and Carr formally established the school and its principles in 1917. Image De Chirico s Love Song.jpg thumb left 150px The Song of Love Giorgio de Chirico The Song of Love Song by Giorgio de Chirico. While Futurism staunchly rejected the past, other modern movements identified a nostalgia for the now faded Classical grandeur of Italy as a major influence in their art. Giorgio de Chirico first developed the style that he later called Metaphysical Painting while in Milan. It was in the more sedate surroundings of Florence , however, that he subsequently developed his emphasis on strange, eerie spaces, based upon the Italian piazza. Many of de Chirico s works from his Florence period evoke a sense of dislocation between past and present, between the individual subject and the space he or she inhabits. These works soon drew the attention of other artists such as Carlo Carr and Giorgio Morandi . In his painting Turin Melancholy 1915 , for example, he illustrated just such a square, using unnaturally sharp contrasts of light and shadow that lend an aura of poignant but vaguely threatening mystery to the scene.

The Metaphysical Society was a British society, founded in 1869 by James Knowles . Many of its members were prominent clergymen.

Metaphysical solipsism is the variety of idealism which is based on the argument that no reality exists other than one s own mind or mental states, and that the individual mind is the whole of reality and the external world has no independent existence. It is expressed by the assertion I myself only exist , in other words, no reality exists other than one s own mind. Arguments in favour of Solipsism The argument in favor of Solipsism a The only thing one has direct access to is the contents of one s own mind one s mental states . What one knows most certainly are one s mental states one s thoughts, experiences, emotions, and so on. b Just because one sees an object does not mean that the object exists. One could be dreaming or hallucinating. There is no direct conceptual or logically necessary link between the mental and the physical. c The experiences of a given person are necessarily private to that person. The contents of one s mind are the only things one has direct access to. One cannot get outside of one s mind to encounter any other objects including other persons. Other minds are even more removed. The basic form of the argument My mental states are the only things I have access to. I cannot conclude the existence of anything outside of my mental states. Therefore only my mental states exist.

A proposition is necessary if it could not have been false. But there are various strengths of necessity. In some sense, it necessarily takes longer than a day to get to the moon, because we don t have fast enough rockets to get us there any quicker. But in another sense, we could get to the moon quicker if we had quicker rockets. But even with faster rockets, it necessarily takes longer than a second for necessarily, the fastest we could travel is at the speed of light. But again that s only necessary given the laws of nature. There s certainly no logical contradiction in travelling to the moon in a nano second. In this sense of necessity, what s necessary are claims like if I travel to the moon, then I travel to the moon claims whose truth follows from logic alone. Call the three strengths of necessity above practical , nomological and logical necessity respectively. Each of them is a relative necessity in the sense that they don t say what is necessary simpliciter they say what is necessary given certain other facts facts concerning what s practically available to us, the laws of nature, the laws of logic, respectively . Metaphysical necessity, by contrast, is meant to be necessity simpliciter what s metaphysically necessary isn t just what s necessary given some other facts, but what s necessary simpliciter. This is not to say that if something is metaphysically necessary, it is i ipso facto i necessary in all other senses as well. To the contrary, something can be metaphysically necessary yet logically non necessary i.e. logically contingent . For example, it s common to adduce the statement God exists as an instance of something which is metaphysically necessary but not logically necessary. The concept of a metaphysically necessary being plays an important role in the ontological argument for the existence of God. This concept has been criticized and partly rejected as incoherent by David Hume , Immanuel Kant , J. L. Mackie and Richard Swinburne . The philosop ... more details

The Metaphysical Society of America is a philosophy philosophical organization founded by Paul Weiss philosopher Paul Weiss in 1950 for promoting the study of metaphysics . The society is a member of the American Council of Learned Societies . Philosophers may join by contacting the http web02.gonzaga.edu faculty henning metaphysical society contact us.htm Secretary of the Society . Early history and purpose In his opening address, The Four Fold Art of Avoiding Ques tions, Paul Weiss spoke of the need for a society that would reinvigorate philosophic inquiry. He denounced parochialism, referring to those who insisted upon some one method, say that of pragmatism, instrumentalism, idealism, analysis, linguistics or logistics, and denied the importance of meaningfulness of anything which lies beyond its scope or power, as well as those who confined their studies to only some historic era. Early in the history of the Society, there was some dispute about whether certain schools of thought should be included in the program. By the second meeting there was controversy regarding papers by logicians, a controversy possibly fueled by the dominance of positivism in that decade. Before 1960, there had been some fear of admitting the existential metaphysics. However, as Paul Weiss remarked in 1969, the Society had succeeded in accomplishing metaphysical diversity Gradually and persistently, year after year, men of the most diverse backgrounds and commitments exhibited the strengths and weaknesses ...
