Abstract
ALL our life we have looked with awe on metaphysics; its problems are so abstruse and the meaning of the metaphysician's solutions so difficult to understand. Occasionally a doubt arises in our mind whether metaphysics is empty words with no reality behind. But we always suppress the doubt. For how could a subject be mere empty words which has held such an exalted and honourable position through all the ages from the brilliant era of the Greeks down to our own times.
