above the mere appearance of the physical Explanation: Especially in this context, this is how Frankenstein is discussing the classical idea of metaphysical, as not merely the physical appearance of the phenomenon, but searching for causes. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 mins (2010-03-27 13:04:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Metaphysical can have different shades of meaning. In this context he seems to identify that search for invisible causes, as that which lead him to the study of the occult writers whom his father told him were worthless. Metaphysical studies do not necessarily go in that direction. |
