Bruh... Tolle next to Hegel and Heidegger lmao. Metaphysics is a serious discipline and it is ultimately inescapable because its exigency intrudes by virtue of the constant presence of presuppositions in anything we say and understand. It will never go away.

Modernity struggles to comprehend it because the ultimate signification of metaphysical concepts is taken to have been cut down to size by faith in paradigms which are themselves questionable.

It can't all be language games, because it's an ultimately ungrounded 'meta'-move to instate the framework of language games, i.e., for Witt to assert the modulation of sense from real signification to contextual use alone. It works, sure, and you can choose to adopt this reduction, but it is not unquestionable.

It can't all be psychological either, because why assume the immanent space of psychic projection when the soul and the mental has not always been understood in such a way?

Uncover, examine, and ground your presuppositions, bros..

Also, 'existence' has very specific and complex meanings throughout the last 2500 years, none of which are semantically-reducible. Take Aquinas' real distinction, for instance.

but Hegel destroyed him and resurrected God in the process so there's no need to worry

All philosophy is theological and therefore religious
