>
> In the history of Chinese and European philosophy, metaphysics has played
> an outstanding role: it is a theoretical framework which provides the
> basis for a philosophical understanding of the world and the self. A
> theory of the self is well integrated in a metaphysical understanding of
> the totality of nature as a dynamic process of continuous changes.
> According to this view, the purpose of existence can be conceived of as
> the development and realization of the full potential given to the
> individual by its nature. In regard to human nature specifically, this
> idea of self-realization includes the development of all cognitive
> faculties as well as of the moral character.
>
> Metaphysics has, however, suffered a loss of importance in current
> debates, especially in ethics. As a result, we observe the emergence of
> such philosophical views as moral skepticism and even nihilism. The
> consequence of this tendency has been the renunciation of a claim to
> understanding and to providing a solid ground for ethics. Yet an
> intercultural dialogue can provide us with some hope as the consolidation
> of debates on crucial topics of our traditions might indeed serve as the
> basis for a more powerful philosophy in the future.
