The lecture is divided into four parts: In "P a rt One. For and Against Metaphysics’* I sketch out the perspectives of modern Greek metaphysics. In the following parts I propound a critical examination of the positions of three representative philosophers, as far as they concern the possibility of metaphysics. My purpose is not to interpret the whole work of these philosophers from the viewpoint 'of metaphysics, but only to explicate their arguments for or against metaphysics as a distinguished philosophical enterprise.
