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. |
