The Splintered Mind on whether metaphysics is a sham. His main target are all those thought experiments of possibility. I agree they prove nothing ultimately. But they are very illustrative. I think metaphysics proceeds ultimately only via empiricism, albeit with very weak arguments. Which I don’t this is positivism. But I think attacking metaphysics typically ends up in a positivist rut.
