    Therefore I think we shouldn't speak about the grounds of the world, but instead of how the world appears to us.Manuel

    Have you read Heidegger's "What is Metaphysics?"?

    It's an attempt to explain how being appears to us. I loved it.

    A while back. I liked it. Then again I think Heidegger is unique in that way, nobody else could continue constructing philosophy like he did. At least those deemed to be his successors weren't as impressive to me.

    One thing for sure is that metaphysics is not the subject itself such as physics, biology, chemistry, astronomy or quantum physics.  Metaphysics don't discuss the detailed workings of these subjects.  

    As a part of the philosophical field, metaphysics investigates and analyses the claims of those subjects for their validity and truths using analytic and logical reasoning.
