- W2501710542 abstract "Although those philosophers termed ‘postmodernist’ would seem to have little in common with logical positivists, one trait these two groups of philosophers share is a distaste for metaphysics. Though it may well be true that each group of philosophers has a very different conception of metaphysics, and even that each in its positive thrust exemplifies what the other wishes to stigmatize as metaphysics, it remains true that for each ‘metaphysics’ is a term of abuse. However, philosophers should not necessarily shrink from embracing terms of abuse. One of the things I admire about William James is his willingness to do this in his celebrated essay ‘The Dilemma of Determinism’. In this essay, which I will discuss in more detail later, James makes a present of the desirable term ‘freedom’ to his soft determinist opponents and is content to fight under the banner of the much-reviled ‘chance’.1 In a similar spirit of willingness to enlist in an unpopular cause, I wish to say a good word on behalf of this much-reviled metaphysics. Specifically, I wish to argue that Søren Kierkegaard was not an enemy of metaphysics. Rather, Kierkegaard’s aim was to show that those metaphysical questions that are linked to religious faith are real questions that human beings must answer. They are, however, as Kant had argued already, questions that cannot be answered from a theoretical or speculative point of view, but that need to be approached from a point of view that could be called practical, pragmatic or existential." @default.
