Exploring the nature of self, world, and God, this book presents metaphysics in both systematic and historical contexts. It begins with Aristotle’s notion of wonder, then delves into the evolution of metaphysical thought from ancient Greek mythology to Christian ontological arguments, and Renaissance cosmology. The latter chapters tackle historical metaphysics through Vico's New Science, Hegel’s Logic, Cassirer's Metaphysics of Symbolic Forms, and Whitehead's Process and Reality. The author offers an engaging and accessible exploration of complex philosophical ideas.
