Nolmetafizika

Nolmetafizika is a term used in contemporary philosophical discourse to denote a non-metaphysical or anti-metaphysical approach to inquiry. Proponents describe it as a program that seeks to examine the meaning and limits of metaphysical questions by restricting theoretical commitments to non-ontological tools such as linguistic analysis, empirical findings, and conceptual clarification. The aim is not to deny reality, but to frame inquiry in a way that avoids speculative ontological claims that cannot be subjected to verification or warranted inference.

The term has appeared in online glossaries, philosophy blogs, and some scholarly discussions. There is no single, universally accepted lineage or methodology, and the label is sometimes used polemically rather than as a strict school.

Core ideas include skepticism toward ontological commitments, the primacy of meaning and use in determining philosophical significance, and the transformation of metaphysical problems into questions about language, logic, or science.

Methods emphasize careful analysis of language, thought experiments reframed in non-metaphysical terms, and cross-disciplinary approaches with cognitive science, physics, and logic.

Critics argue that nolmetafizika may invite nihilism, undercut important metaphysical inquiry, or collapse into mere semantic analysis if not carefully bounded.
