Description

Metaphysics Diploma 

Metaphysics is the philosophical discipline that explores the fundamental principles of change and identity, being, causality, time and space, possibility, and necessity. It constitutes questions such as “what is consciousness made up of?” and “how are matter and mind related?”. “metaphysics” combines two Ancient Greek terms that translate to “after or among or behind the natural”.
Areas of metaphysical inquiry include existence, things and their characteristics, time and space, possibility, and chain of events. Metaphysics is among the four philosophical branches apart from ethics, logic, and epistemology.
The Metaphysics Diploma course allows one to learn about the philosophical connection among abstract elements such as time, space, being, and identity. The Metaphysics Diploma course starts with introducing the field of metaphysics to the learners. Before delving into further details about the discipline, the Metaphysics Diploma course explains its relation to physics. Metaphysics deals with the exploration of the characteristics of reality. The learners will form a deeper understanding of metaphysics through topics that deal with ‘the framework of reality.’ Thereby, the learners will get familiar with some central questions dealt with in metaphysics about existence, time and space, and identity.
There is a lot to learn about cosmology in the Metaphysics Diploma course, from religions to astronomy to philosophy and a lot about the human mind, philosophy, and theories that aim to explain how the mind works with the body and the larger universe. The Metaphysics Diploma course also discusses free will, putting forth essential questions such as: “Does free will exist?”, “Is the life of an individual pre-determined?”, “Does free choice exist?”. One can discover what answers different theories have put forth such intriguing questions. The learners will explore the connection between science and metaphysics, with questions involving their compatibility for interdisciplinary discourse. The Diploma course also examines the validity of metaphysics and the views of philosophers who support and oppose it.
Besides exploring metaphysical questions, the course also examines the history of the philosophical discipline. The learners will explore the concepts of Western philosophy, including Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates, and the philosophical schools of modern times, including analytical philosophy and rationalism. The Metaphysics Diploma course also explores Eastern philosophy, such as classical Chinese, Indian, Buddhist, and African schools of thought.
