Sylvia Plath and Unrelated Text The inner journey is a metaphysical process in which an individual travels into their own psyche often resulting in form of self realization. Although the journey is not physical‚ an inner journey is a powerful tool in which one can enhance their knowledge of the world and their own human nature‚ commonly encountering imaginative obstacles which assist in the individual’s self-realization.

Locke’s Substrata: John Locke’s doctrine of substratum—a metaphysical theory that posits that an imperceptible substance underlies all objects—unites properties into one discrete object (I use ‘properties’ synonymously with ‘qualities’). Consider daily experience: we individuate an array of sensory data into discrete

We as humans share a common thread among life forms and that is the fact that we are conscious. We think and comprehend unless we happen to be politicians

Why‚ then‚ would we assume that we know the metaphysical aspects of Gruntilda as well? Allow me‚ then‚ to fully postulate my epistemological concern: from a Hardwig-lens‚ we presuppose that we know Gruntilda in herself and thusly suspect our knowing of Gruntilda’s metaphysical aspects. Not only so‚ but Hardwig’s view presupposes our
