RE: Science and Metaphysics
SUBTOPIC: What does contemporary metaphysics explore?

{ Truncated Position to Open the Discussion. }

In its simplest form (the least complex), explanation → Metaphysics delves into the nature of reality. Metaphysics explores the framework and structure of “what things are real” and “what components are necessary to define what is meant by real.” It also examines the aspects that make one thing inside the framework of existence - versus - nonexistence. Much of the understanding of Reality deals directly with the “philosophy of science” (that which can be explored utilizing the scientific method). In understanding Metaphysics, there must be some recognition that the Principle of Sufficient Reason (PSR) might lead to more than one solution, more than one method of determining probabilities, and - extended opinions. → Methodologies in Metaphysics all come

form the structure behind that which stands up the philosophical treatises. Additionally, there are multiple approaches to the examination of causal relationships uncovered and the correlation with observations.

It should not be overlooked that Metaphysics has both a Spiritual content as well as the more Scientific Notions that intersect in the zone of reality. One does not trump the other. Neither can one prove nor disprove itself - or the other. In dealing with exchanges relative to the explanation of the Supernatural,

The idealization of the notions that determine which pathways the relations between types and kinds of possibilities take and classes of possibilities that can be considered must not be over-exaggerated. The logical content of the possibilities, from a Metaphysical view, can not be made by mere inductive logic without the reasonable construct necessary to stand up against justifying proof is derived by the Scientific Method. There must be a certain measure of “validity.” The validity, again from a metaphysical viewpoint, is exemplified by the necessity of the Cosmological Constant on one scale, versus the Principle of the First Cause.

The compartmentalization of Comenius of physics, metaphysics and hyperphysics has helped me to bridge spiritual experiences with metaphysics and natural science to explore Nature. Although, in contrast to Comenius my approach to hyperphysics is immanent and multispatial from a contemporary understanding of the natural world.

(COMMENTARY)

One of the very best explanations of the "Comenius Approach" is the in-depth evaluation of the methods and limits of the various concepts pertaining to the facets of scientific inquiry (how to apply the techniques).

This includes the distinctions and boundaries between applications of inquiry (using scientific methodologies) and unsubstantiated theories (pseudoscience). Both extremes of the spectrum, use time-tested (Inductive reasoning → general conclusions based on specific observations, as opposed to deductive reasoning, preconceived general premises to → specific conclusions), neither gives an assurance of a correct solution. While each application has its own dynamic philosophical discussion and associated background assumptions, neither set alone gives a guaranteed solution.

(OPINION)

I believe that the "Comenius Approach" has the greater expectation of success in achieving a more viable solution to the inquiries into the aspects, scope, and nature into the realms of the Spiritual and Supernatural, it has (to a much greater degree) a greater expectation in other lines of inquiry.
