1.0 Prologue
The philosopher Immanuel Kant once referred to metaphysics as a bottomless abyss
and a dark ocean without a shore
while the American philosopher William James called it nothing but an unusually obstinate way to think clearly
[1].
I believe that Metaphysics can be best described with the following famous words of a wise man[2], philosopher and writer; We look at it, and yet we do not see it, and we name it ‘the Equable.’ We listen to it, and yet we do not hear it, and we name it ‘the Inaudible.’ We try to grasp it, and yet do not get hold of it, and we name it ‘the Subtle.’ With these three qualities, it cannot be made the subject of description; and hence we blend them together and obtain The One. Its upper part is not bright, and its lower part is not obscure. Ceaseless in its action, it yet cannot be named, and then it again returns and becomes nothing. This is called the Form of the Formless, and the Semblance of the Invisible; this is called the Fleeting and Indeterminable. We meet it and do not see its Front; we follow it, and do not see its back. When we can lay hold of the Tao of old to direct the things of the present day, and are able to know it as it was of old in the beginning, this is called (unwinding) the clue of Tao
[3][4]
Its upper part is not bright, and its lower part is not obscure
; or else as is above, so is bellow
.
Following herewith, Metaphysics in effort; is being approached spherically. Attention is given to detail in a well intended undertaking to present the subject in an unbiased manner while at the same time physical limitations of this produced work, could potentially affect the outcome. The approach is skeptical from a metapsychological angle; viewpoint.
1.1 Sentience
Sentience is the capacity to feel, it is a distinguished ability from thinking and reasoning. It is the ability to experience sensations. It is the ability to suffer and experience pain; and hence entitled to be conferred rights in the animal kingdom by the humans. In Eastern philosophy, sentience is a metaphysical quality of all things that require respect and care[5].
Granted, animals do not have all the desires we humans have; granted, they do not comprehend everything we humans comprehend; nevertheless, we and they do have some of the same desires and do comprehend some of the same things. The desires for food and water; shelter and companionship, freedom of movement and avoidance of pain[6].
As Jeremy Bentham, the English social reformer / philosopher stated in 1823, the question is not, Can they reason?
nor, Can they talk?
but, Can they suffer?
[7]
Studies suggest that one’s own personal experience of suffering, along with the awareness of the seriousness of such experience among fellow sufferers, can be conducive to emotional and intellectual growth[8].
In the Gospel of Mary Magdalene reads, 3 But rather, let us praise His greatness, for He has prepared us and made us into Men
, meaning that becoming human means to become an άνθρωπος, a human being and not a mere communal animal
(ζώον πολιτικόν)[9]. Integrate of the opposites in self, by bringing together the male and female principles within and transform from a being; to a human being, and into a Divine essence; hence to grow emotionally and
