1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 4. Metaphysics as Science

6095	The business of metaphysics is to describe the world [Russell]
	Full Idea: It seems to me that the business of metaphysics is to describe the world.
	From: Bertrand Russell (The Philosophy of Logical Atomism [1918], §III)
	A reaction: At least he believed in metaphysics. Presumably he intends to describe the world in terms of its categories, rather than cataloguing every blade of grass.
