Everyone talks about philosophy but never gives importance to metaphysics. It seems that I value metaphysics more than philosophy. Why is that? We know that these two blur into each other at often times but they are quite distinct. Why do we often undermine the significance of the tool for philosophy?

...Have you ever studied philosophy in a college classroom? Philosophy IS metaphysics, that's its entire aim. Even the people who despise 'metaphysics' engage in it implicitly by denying it with, what else? Metaphysical assertions.

Taken literally metaphysics is merely going beyond physics and asking questions of how the physical world and all within it is possible.

Here I thought I would be understood. No I have never been in a college class room about philosophy. Though you're correct that philosophy and metaphysics are the same but at the same time it's not. Both serve a different purpose to mankind. Here I assumed we advanced beyond its simple use. No I do not want to further discuss this. Goodbye.

Well, nothing lost then. You're below even Wittgenstein tier positivists and linguists. At least they make arguments.

I now understand the plight of Wittgenstein.
