Abstract: Philosophical thought in the form of speculative metaphysics considers the most fundamental questions about the relation of man to the world in which he finds himself. In one way or another such questions, and the problems to which they give rise, have determined the character of human philosophical culture ever since its nebulous inception. The richness and diversity of the history of philosophical speculation is as much a testimony to the seeming infinitude of potential forms that our relation to nature may take it as a confirmation of the resiliency of the problems derived from reflections o this relation.
