How do I write a metaphysical treatise?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 15:32:18 2022 No.19856466 Just do it.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 15:32:46 2022 No.19856467 >>19856457 Maybe learn metaphysics and put the desire to write a metaphysical treatise on standstill?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 15:34:03 2022 No.19856474 >>19856457 With a made up script. Now get out

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 16:04:28 2022 No.19856639 >>19856466 Ok

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 16:06:08 2022 No.19856653 >>19856467 Ok learned metaphysics. Now, what's a problem I should solve? What interests you the most?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 16:07:18 2022 No.19856658 >>19856457 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.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 16:10:38 2022 No.19856673 >>19856658 What are some good unresolved problems in metaphysics?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 16:12:03 2022 No.19856680 >>19856673 David Lewis, modal realism, and concrete possible worlds. It’s fascinating.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 20:05:23 2022 No.19857918 >>19856457 Obscurantism.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 2 20:46:10 2022 No.19858128 >>19856457 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.
