I want to know the answer to the following question:
What is a common opinion of metaphysics?
All the background I'm provided with is that "It is impossible to say exactly why Whitehead's influence has not been more widespread, but it may be partly due to his metaphysical ideas seeming somewhat counter-intuitive (such as his assertion that matter is an abstraction), or his inclusion of theistic elements in his philosophy, or the perception of metaphysics itself as passé, or simply the sheer difficulty and density of his prose.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
