Critical Analysis
Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world, although the term is not easily defined. Traditionally, metaphysics attempts to answer two basic questions in the broadest possible terms: "What is there? And what is it like? A person who studies metaphysics is called a metaphysicist or a metaphysician. The metaphysician attempts to clarify the fundamental notions by which people understand the world, e.g., existence, objects and their properties, space and time, cause and effect, and possibility. A central branch of metaphysics is ontology, the investigation into the basic categories of being and how they relate to each other. The Rejection of God-language The essay state all about God for the human it is possible to conveying a meaning to formulate god in human term. Metaphysics dealing with beyond normal limits of possible knowledge actually in god. According to A.J Ayer , Sir Alfred Jules "Freddie" Ayerhave was a British philosopher known for his promotion of logical positivism, particularly in his books Language, Truth, and Logic (1936) and The Problem of Knowledge (1956). That he state risk into realities being phenomena, any language that deals with metaphysics completely without meaning although other language that deals with reality beyond sense data does not have full of fact that which is contained. The problem of verification If the principle of verification does not reduce the value, the meaning, or any other conceptual, nonempirical quantity - expression - assigned to a statement, it seems that the only correct approach to it is as a categorizing principle, placing the various areas of human thought and experience into discrete sets, particularly suitable for the practically valuable realm of science. In this form, it is no more of a dilemma for a theist, positivist or indeed any other philosopher, than the arbitrary assignment of gender to the person of God. It is an expression of the practical difference between theology and science. When the principle of verification is applied to discard metaphysics and theology as meaningless, the logical inconsistencies of the principle can be exploited to demonstrate necessity of inclusion of a non-analytic a priori knowledge in any philosophy with a completeness claim. Truth and Meaning Truth is the interrelated consistency of statements and their correspondence with the facts of reality and the facts themselves. It suggests an integration of character, and adherence of virtue, a kind of reliability, which includes and goes beyond the literal meaning to include those aspects of personal behavior which seem to be implied by the love of truth. The concept of truth is derived from the character of God, and is the exact opposite of the concept of lying. "It is impossible for God to lie." Since it is impossible for God to lie we know that everything He says about what will happen will actually take place. If we are to become perfect we need to be known as individuals who tell the truth, like God. That means when we promise something we need to keep that promise or not make it in the first place. We need to try to place ourselves in situations where we don't feel the need to lie to defend either ourselves or our behavior. The Meaning of the Word God The word God didnt come from nowhere. The root-meaning of the name is either "the one invoked" or "the one sacrificed to." It came out from our appeal to everyday language to give a name to a being in which we attribute certain experience that could reveal the possibility of what that being. In literature, due to biblical influence, it is common for God to be portrayed as a powerful but gentle being who created all the good things in the universe. William Blake, influenced by the cruel and putrid living conditions of his childhood in the throes of Industrial Revolution, dares to look at God not only as the good God, but also as the God who is the creator of great evil. Blake, in his poem The Tyger, reveals to the reader by using metaphorical language and descriptive imagery the divine savagery that God is capable of.
