Kurzinhalt: Ethik transformiert Metyphysik

Textausschnitt: () Now we are about to examine how a science of ethics can sublate and transform the study of metaphysics into a new and higher historical context.

If a science assumes a world-order governed by necessary causes, then that ordering cannot be changed, which also implies that such a science will not be directed to, and concerned with, 'praxis.' Science, however, no longer seeks certain necessary laws, but seeks instead the best available explanations. And modern science assumes not a static, closed universe, but an open, dynamic, developing universe.
