Metaphysics: The Deepest Questions of Reality, Including the Nature of Existence, Free Will, Time, Causation, and Whether the World Is What It Appears to Be

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Why is there something rather than nothing? Uncover the deepest mysteries of reality.

Most of us go through life accepting the world exactly as it appears. We trust our senses. We believe we make our own decisions. We assume time ticks steadily forward. But beneath the surface of everyday life lies a hidden architecture that dictates our laws, our science, and our very sense of self. This is the realm of metaphysics.

In Metaphysics: The Deepest Questions of Reality, Alex Omberg takes you on an exhilarating journey to the very limits of human thought. Stripping away dense academic jargon, this definitive guide translates millennia of philosophical debate into an accessible, mind-expanding exploration of existence.

Inside this profound introduction to philosophy, you will discover:


- The Illusion of Time: Do the past, present, and future exist simultaneously, or is the 'flow' of time merely a trick of the human mind?
- The Free Will Paradox: Are your choices predetermined by the unyielding laws of physics, or do you possess genuine, unscripted agency?
- The Hard Problem of Consciousness: How does physical brain matter create your rich, subjective emotional experiences?
- The Puzzle of Personal Identity: If every cell in your body replaces itself over time, what makes you the exact same person you were as a child?
- The Architecture of Reality: Explore the ultimate question of why there is something rather than nothing, and whether we live in a universe of endless possibilities.

If you are ready to challenge your deepest assumptions, unlock the mysteries of the mind, and view your life through a radically new lens, this book is your starting point.
