Abstract

Metaphysics, as search for the nature of requirements for the construction of universality, is significant for the purposes of both societal autonomy and experiential autonomy, and the struggles of obligation, discussion and contestation. While dogmatic metaphysics has been organised around the requirements of enivsionment of conditionality, non-dogmatic natural metaphysics can be organised around the requirements of demonstration of diconditionality or tension of compostionality. Activity cannot be made a constitutive component of the conceptual schema, but is precisely the aim of the demonstration in the mutual interrelations, the push and pull between the primary concepts in their systematicity that is explanatory of both the force of attraction and repulsion as well as both the temporality and eternity of motion and the unity of efficient and teleological causation. Metaphysics proceeds by carving real conceptual distinction and tries to show participation between distinction by proposing mode or modes of tension constitutive of the manner and structure of participation. Dogmatic metaphysics of conditionality reduces the whole nature of tensionality to select mode or modes of tension, or reduces the systematic integration of the modes to incompositionality. The dogmatism of conditionality lies in two kinds of incompositionality, namely, substantialisation of activity and deoperationalisation of activity. Non-dogmatic naturalistic metaphysics not only entails systematisation of the mutuality of interaction between the abstract and synthetical sides of all the modes of tension, without reducing to incompositionality or distension, but also demonstration of potential divergence in the systmatisation of tensionality of compositionality. Following the planetarisation of metaconvergent dogmatic conditionality in capitalist technoscientiific modernity, there is potential for enlivenment and metadiversification in universal metaphysical thinking through the framework of metaphysical diconditionality which is non-dogmatic yet rigorous metaphysics insofar as tension between divergent potential and actual metaphysical demonstrability and demonstration of tensionality is the universality or transuniversality of activity.
