Part VIII: Ethics

Today I handed in (click here) Part VIII of my New Metaphysics, which lays the groundwork (we hope) for a new ethics. I think that Part VIII should prove that there is yet hope for ethics in metaphysics. Part VII, a transitional chapter which introduces the theme, was a tough one conceptually. I rewrote it twice. OBSERVATION: The journal Philosophical Investigations has provided me with a space to develop the project. I consider that Part VIII was the last of the major hurdles to a new metaphysic, with the possible exception of things eternal. The project today passed 10 000 words.
