Is Metaphysics Even Possible? A Discussion with Reference to the Non-Empirical Character of Metaphysics

The domain of metaphysics is a breakthrough discovery on the actual states of things in the world. More specifically, in line with the traditional understanding of metaphysics, it delves into the subtle nature of reality that lies upon and beyond space, time, and being. Nevertheless, there are several overarching counter-movements towards the systematic possibility of metaphysics over the last decade; this prospective study, ipso facto, tends to be in support of metaphysics to the extent of its conventional perception—with respect to one of the emerging challenges, viz., the non-empirical character of metaphysics. Having stated that, this scrutiny shows some spectacular findings for the legitimacy and credibility of metaphysics as it traditionally digested: a critical argument of ontology and reciprocal correlation of entities in the taxonomy—a philosophical quarrel on metaphysical claims of knowledge and mathematics in the matter of mind-independent reality, sense experience, and real existence of the world. In fact, notwithstanding these limitations, the study suggests that metaphysics is even possible, and it then stands on a defensible position in philosophical literature. However, further experiments and investigations into the non-empirical character of metaphysics and other relevant opposite arguments are strongly recommended.
