Sažetak
In this talk I will try to sketch the grounds for repositioning and redefining contemporary metaphysics, in the view of: 1) the failure of metaphysics conceived as an isolated theory, 2) the failure of metaphysics conceived as a repository of necessary truths, 3) the failure of metaphysics conceived as a theory on nature of things. Notions of physical time will be used as a critical example. An appraisal of Tim Maudlin’s approach to fundamental ontology will be attempted in the end, in the view of its characteristics as: a theory within a theory, a revisable theory, a theory on the fundamental structures of the world.
