What metaphysics today?

Abstract

The renewed interest in metaphysics in the areas of both analytic and conti-nental philosophy and the plurality of metaphysics arising from the different conceptions of metaphysics worked out in the various investigative fields make it necessary to ask what metaphysics can be practised today. In its origin from Aristotle metaphysics has an eidetic essence which makes metaphysics highly compatible with phenomenology. Such an eidetic structure supports the project of a phenomenological metaphysics which is able to respond to the needs of philosophical research of today in both the ontological and gnose-ological spheres.
