The destiny of "metaphysics" is to a large extent the destiny of western philosophy. In the history of western philosophy, "metaphysics" experienced various key stages including: being created with philosophy at the same time, refining idea and essence, theology with the first philosophy, accepting critique from reason, perfecting to become idealism, going to decline and accepting negation of practice reason, the metaphysics reflection and changing direction by past-metaphysics research. We can say that the history of western philosophy for more than 2,000 years is the history that looks for and arranges the destiny for metaphysics, also the history of philosophy arranged by metaphysics.The philosophers living at our times can meditate the complete life process of "metaphysics" and it's content, it's legitimacy and illegitimacy to philosophy, as the life process of our cosmos created from beginning to huge empty.From the view of meta-philosophy which transcends metaphysics and ontology as the first philosophy we can see that, "metaphysics idea", as the primary power to forces the philosophy to transcend reality and get into essence world, namely "the thought of metaphysics", is philosophy basic appearance itself, also the most healthy parts in philosophy legitimacy. But when "the thought of metaphysics" once wants to become still"metaphysics system"which transcends time and space, metaphysics will lose philosophy vitality. That also means metaphysics'illegitimacy in philosophy, which was proved by the scholastic philosophy. But the essential parts of "metaphysics" after all root in philosophy but not in the theology. Hence, the reason' reformation toward "metaphysics" has special healthy philosophy meaning. What's more, the reason reflection conceived science reason and science paradigm, and this, for the whole western civilization, is the thought process that have to take into treat hard. In other words, this is reflecting the followings: brief negation of "metaphysics", to both western philosophy and the western civilization, or even to the whole human civilization, will be irresponsible and bring thought calamity. Hence, the reason changed direction from scholastic philosophy towards science paradigm and the western thought mode has special history meaning; This can also explain, the motive of the question and reflection to metaphysics by reason of German philosophy, intending to make sure it as the ultimate end foundation for the whole science, allows of no to besmirch. The great meaning of German philosophy, although is not only at here, but have to be basic here; At this height we can really apprehend the critique of the ontology by Marx, not to become superficial. From historical view, we can say "metaphysics" end in philosophic system of Marx. But this isn't a simple history affair or the philosophy historical fact. Marx predicts the end destiny of metaphysics, but after his verdict, "metaphysics" continues to represent the general claim of philosophers at very long history period. But modern philosophy finally comes out of the trap of "metaphysics". This turns over to say, we need respect Marx's thoughts; Critique of "metaphysics" comes from the contrast and the removal for "philosophy" and "metaphysics" of our times current. "The thought of metaphysics" departs from"metaphysics system", which is a real healthy mark by modern philosophy. In this background, we then can introspect the way of the history development and the future development of philosophy metaphysics.We look back for the history of "metaphysics" with respect for history and philosophers. Taking so difficult mission, general persons all will feel the ability doesn't go with will. But superficial dissertation can't covers up our godliness to the whole history. In the meantime, under the topic for saying, we don't want to become a historian, even a thought historian, but a common researcher who has contemporary concerns about metaphysics problems.We use "soar" and"sink"as the token for the comprehensive process, and use "root to incline to" of "metaphysics" to describe the destiny characteristic of its development. "System death" of "metaphysics" is the fact that we affirm, that is to say, in the future of philosophy development, the death faced by "metaphysics system" can't be avoided; But we also believe firmly in the meantime, the spirit of "metaphysics", at least the spirit of "the thought of metaphysics"will exist permanently accompanying with philosophy.This text holds the logic clue of the turn point from idealization"soar"to realization"sink"of "metaphysics", analyses and describe the history of "metaphysics" from ancient Greece, chose 6 topics, be divided into 8 chapters. From the birth to the so-called end, reflecting the basic relation of philosophy and metaphysics.
