The fact that it's that obvious and yet still subject to relativism is exactly why it needs to be brought up.


Dude, you're talking about identifying and affirming the definition of a word. It doesn't add any information to the debate.

Also, metaphysics is meaningless.

I never was one for compliments. May your corned beef not pickle correctly.

The application, not the definition. There wasn't any dispute on the latter.

Metaphysics is the entire foundation of philosophy. Aristotle even defined metaphysics as the "science" of certain causes and principles. It simply asks, "What is?" That's as concrete or as transcendent as the individual theory operating under it. The modernistic context of it is a relativistic perversion of a much more encompassing word.
