OK, good, we're back.
So now we're rushing into the last corner of the which triangle that we are using as a framework here
and this analysis.
So we're going to talk about the metaphysics of the world.
I know, of course, that metaphysics is also a word that is used in a more kind of new age way, but
that has nothing to do with metaphysics is about in philosophy.
So metaphysics and philosophy is about what things that exist.
And also some other areas also count to metaphysics like freewill problems and so on.
But we are going to focus about the objects of the world, not just concrete objects, but also, of
course, observable it.
Good.
So this is going to be a very quick overview which areas that we're going to cover and then we rush
into the actual lectures.
So here's the triangle again.
We have now talked about both concepts in our minds.
We have talked about and also intentionality and other stuff that is related to the area of philosophy
of mind.
And then we talked about areas within philosophy or language and how they relate to the philosophy of
mind area.
You know, we talked about Speech X and the relationship with intentional states and so on.
And now we're going to talk about the last area here, the world part of this world, things that actually
exist and how the language that we use to express our concepts is related to the world and hopefully
see that we are actually in the end, you are going to come to a lot of very interesting conclusions
about this.
There are actually four areas here that we're going to cover.
We're going to cover objects.
So we're going to start talking about what an object is.
Then we're going to rush into objects, their properties and the relations.
We're going to talk about facts and state of affairs and truth, and we're going to talk about functions
and social facts or institutional facts, as they also are called.
So these are the four building blocks that we're going to use in our analysis and dive into.
Very good.
Let's start them.
Start with objects.
