Metaphysics

1. sensation

   • memory of sensation
     • Having memory of sensation
       • more intelligent and apt to learn
     • Not having memory of sensation
       • less intelligent and apt to learn
     • The human
       • All human beings have the desire to know,
         • The art and all of those things created by human is thanks to the experiences and the experiences are thanks to our learning process we have every day.
           • Although not considering feelings as wisdom is incorrect, surely they give more authoritative knowledge of the particulars but do not tell us the 'why' of anything.
             • Example
               • The sky is blue, but it is not said "why".
           • Cience
             • In order to obtain science it is necessary to investigate the first causes. Aristotle recognizes four:
               • Formal cause: the essence of each thing.
               • Material cause: the matter of each thing.
               • Efficient cause: the principle of the movement of each thing.
               • Final cause: the good of each thing.
               • So basically, the matter is the principle thing because the matter is in the world all the time. Thats why some philosophers take the matter as a base of their theories, like Mileto with tha water as a principle
                 • But what changes matter? Matter does not change by itself, it neither generates nor destroys itself.
             • Philosophy theories
               • Philosophers have proclaimed the beginning of things, such as Hesiod who said that love comes first, while Empedocles told us that friendship is the beginning of all good and enmity the beginning of all evil.
                 • Philosophers have 2 causes, the material and the efficient.

2. Philisohpy

   • To investigate the specific principles to which philosophy adheres, we need to investigate the figure of the philosopher.
     • The philosopher is characterized by knowing more rigorously than anyone else the study of causes. It focuses more on the desire to know than on the results of an investigation. It should not be dependent or subordinate, but quite the opposite.
       • To philosophize, one must have the capacity for wonder.
   • philosophy is the study of the principles and causes of everything.

3. metaphysics in the present

   • In conclusion, the purpose of metaphysics is to study being. So, if we take this into account we could take some examples of this in our present.
     • In conclusion, the purpose of metaphysics is to study being. So, if we take this into account we could take some examples of this in our present. Maybe it could be when we try to understand why when there is a national strike, some people start assaulting the policemen. Or, when we try to understand the situation of the president to collect so many taxes. And, speaking of a more general situation, it could be: if at a certain moment something happens that we do not understand, something supernatural, then that could be metaphysics. Translated with
