Her clothes had been darkened in color somewhat by neglect and the passage of time, as happens to pictures exposed to smoke. At the lower edge of her robe was woven a Greek n, at the top the letter 0, and between them were seen clearly marked stages, like stairs, ascending from the low Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993est level to the highest.

As I will show in this work, a chief reason they d Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993id so was because they had largely lost their understanding of philosophy and science and the crucial role that metaphysics plays in relation to both.Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993
As a result, currently metaphysics has largely become the “Cinderella of the Sciences."

In ancient Greek and medieval limes, metaphysics had been what is largely equivalent today to what professional philosopher call "philosophy of science.” It was the only discip Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993line that existed capable of judging the nature, division, and methods of the different arts and sciences, the only human science that could rationallReichman - Charting the Collapse 1993

Within the twentieth century', die effects of this started to cause philosophy departments, especially those dealing with classical philosophy, to become largely gutted or to close at colleges and universities to close. As a result, other disciplines, philosophical mimics, Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993 generally referred to by the oxymoronic title “social sciences" (oxymoronic because, by nature they are not social or scientific) to attempt to replaReichman - Charting the Collapse 1993

Some metaphysics texts appeared, including ones written by stude Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993nts of St. Thomas.

, Descartes was no philosopher. Like Renaissance humanists before him, he was a sophist. His sophistic method consisted of an elaborate reduction of pA Not-So-Elementary Christian Metaphysics:Written In The Hope Of Ending The Centuries-OldSeparation Between Philosophy And ScienceWhile 1 silently pon Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993ilosophy and theology, while, simultaneously, identifying mathematics and physics with the whole of science, or rational, logically-systematic, knowledge of reality.4Among the many mistakes Descartes made in working out his project were to (1) identify truth and science and (2) relocate truth from a Reichman - Charting the Collapse 1993n act of intellect, or reason, to that of will.
