Metaphysics
This roundtable examines the evolving relationship between physics, metaphysics, and human knowledge of nature, from classical assumptions to modern challenges posed by quantum theory, language, and cognition. It considers how contemporary science and philosophy are reviving metaphysical inquiry by integrating empirical findings with questions about reality, perception, and consciousness.
