Examples of metaphysical in a Sentence

1. Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

   Our quaint metaphysical opinions, in an hour of anguish, are like playthings by the bedside of a child deathly sick.

2. Vaclav Havel:

   I am not sure one is capable of reflecting absurdity without having a strong sense of meaning. Absurdity makes sense only against a meaningful background. It is the deeper meaning that is shedding light on the absurdity. There must be a vanish point, a metaphysical horizon if you will where absurdity and meaning merge.”

3. Aldous Huxley:

   From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history), men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.

4. Eleni Tsigas:

It was a metaphysical message but a very specific message: I knew it would be a boy, and we would name him Jordan, and he would be fine, the message was as solid as the chair I'm sitting in right now.

5. Friedrich Nietzsche:

   Zarathustra was the first to consider the fight of good and evil the very wheel in the machinery of things: the transposition of morality into the metaphysical realm, as a force, cause, and end in itself, is his work. […] Zarathustra created this most calamitous error, morality; consequently, he must also be the first to recognize it.
