Ok learned metaphysics. Now, what's a problem I should solve? What interests you the most?

>> No.19856658

Read all classical and contemporary writing on metaphysics. Unless you’re literally a genius like Wittgenstein who somewhat accidentally summed it all up out of context, it’s going to be an amateurish set of ramblings by some undergraduate.

understand why the subject of metaphysics intrigues you, and why a treatise you feel is the best medium/genre to express and explore this intrigue. Once you tell us that then we can tell you how to proceed.
