Permanent Metaphysical Structures

Abstract

Determining the essence of any substance requires the construction of its definition. It is necessary to find a generic concept to construct a definition, and it includes the scope of the definition concept. However, there are such concepts to be the most general of their kind, and therefore generic concepts cannot be found for them. These concepts are meant to be three most general philosophical categories: God, man, and the world. We call these three categories as permanent metaphysical structures. Consequently, human always seeks to outline the objects of his interest in his mind. If a definition is not possible, then they are replaced by explications or quasi-definitions.
