Abstract

Peter van Inwagen understands metaphysics as the attempt to access the ultimate truth about the World by answering fundamental questions. In this approach, the task of the philosopher is to choose between alternative answers. This vision does not coincide with that of the Aristotelian-Thomist tradition: for it, metaphysics is the science that studies the principles of reality. What this expression means and how it can be related to scientific knowledge of nature is studied here.
