1. Philosophy / E. Nature of Metaphysics / 1. Nature of Metaphysics

14250	Metaphysics deals with the existence of things and with the nature of things [Fine,K]
	Full Idea: Metaphysics has two main areas of concern: one is with the nature of things, with what they are; and the other is with the existence of things, with whether they are.
	From: Kit Fine (Ontological Dependence [1995], I)
	A reaction: This paper is part of a movement which has shifted metaphysics to a third target - how things relate to one another. The possibility that this third aim should be the main one seems quite plausible to me.
