Metaphysics for the Commoner Joey Carter

Carter uses a dialectical style to show that a belief in a metaphysical reality existing behind the physical reality is a long-standing -- and still relevant -- way to perceive the world. The "common sense" perspective of scientists, materialists, and even philosophers has all but eliminated metaphysics from their vocabulary -- yet their reasoning is circular and deceiving. The uncommon sense of commoners makes better sense in this case, and we find that the majority of common lay folk do believe in a being or force behind the physical veil. Carter reviews the historical attempts to describe the "metaphysics" of existence, and explains why science has built-in limitations yet often attempts to reach conclusions beyond those limitations. Universal, meta-physical patterns become evident and are already known to many of us. Carter ends with the question "What does this all mean?" and gives us a general yet satisfying answer.
