More about the book
The book presents a compelling defense of metaphysical philosophy, challenging the prevailing postmodern skepticism. Gunter Figal argues that metaphysics is vital for understanding the necessary coherence between opposites, which he terms strife, a concept rooted in Heraclitus. Rather than leading to a loss of meaning, Figal asserts that sense arises from this conflict, situated within the framework of freedom. His analysis includes fresh interpretations of key philosophers like Plato, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Kierkegaard, alongside critiques of notable twentieth-century thinkers.
