Do you know the meaning of “metaphysical”? And do you know how it can help your writing?
The human mind is an interesting place. It’s where the physical world and the imagination meet, recreating images, stories, memories, and emotions that compile into our perspective on life. It’s the thing that helps us debate the big questions like the existence of god and other metaphysical questions.
But what is the meaning of the word “metaphysical”? And how is it used in the arts like poetry, literature, and filmmaking?
Today we’re going to explore the natural world and dig into the supernatural. We’ll look into logical positivists and metaphysical questions and get to the history and root of the word.
We’re also going to see how our greatest artists throughout history have used this word to build some of the best pieces of literature and films of all time.
Sound like fun? Let’s go.
