Logic works, metaphysics contemplates.


Logic works, metaphysics contemplates.

Summary

This quote suggests that logic is an active process of reasoning and problem-solving, while metaphysics is a more passive and contemplative endeavor. Logic is concerned with finding rational explanations and drawing conclusions based on evidence and analysis. Metaphysics, on the other hand, involves pondering abstract and philosophical concepts that go beyond the material world, such as the nature of reality or the existence of beings. It highlights the difference between practical application and introspective contemplation.
