What is Metaphysics?

Ruminations on Principial Knowledge and Some of Its Applications

by Seyyed Hossein Nasr, The George Washington University

What is Metaphysics? offers an exposition, informed primarily by the Islamic metaphysical tradition, of principial and divine knowledge as distinct from information or merely factual knowledge.

Advancing an argument in favor of integrating metaphysics at every level of one’s being, the book also delves into various applications of metaphysics pertaining to the domains of religion, education, philosophy, art, ecology, and science.
