"Metaphysics and the End of Philosophy" is a defence of metaphysics
as central to philosophy and a criticism of the attempts of modern
philosophy to replace it. H.O. Mounce argues that philosophy, and
not simply science, has a positive role to play in our
understanding of the world.Modern philosophy has been dominated for
some three centuries by scientism or by a naturalistic view of the
world. This has led to a disparagement not just of religion, but of
metaphysics in all its forms. Whereas in classical philosophy,
metaphysics is central to the subject, in much of modern philosophy
the aim of the subject is simply to remove metaphysical confusion.
Here Mounce offers a sustained criticism of this tendency in modern
philosophy and offers a vindication of philosophy in its classical
conception. The author takes us on a tour of all the key figures in
the historical development of modern philosophy and the forces that
have shaped their thought, arguing that the history of philosophy
is essential to a proper understanding of the subject itself.
