The Newtonian gravitation physics seemed to have motivated philosophers to construct concepts like synthetic a priori judgment, logical positivism and causality. But the post-Einsteinian quantum physics tend to ignore notions like causality and atomistic object, and to pay attention to notions like quantum gravitation and a nothing as gravitational field. Philosophers need to discuss about the metaphysical outlook of the new gravitational physics more than ever.

The Newtonian gravitation physics seemed to have motivated philosophers to construct concepts like synthetic a priori judgment, logical positivism and causality. But the post-Einsteinian quantum physics tend to ignore notions like causality and atomistic object, and to pay attention to notions like quantum gravitation and a nothing as gravitational field. Philosophers need to discuss about the metaphysical outlook of the new gravitational physics more than ever. The notion of integration, cheng (誠) of Zhongyong, may be one among many candidates for such a search. It used to be difficult to explain various topics like ordinary language and consciousness in philosophy and humanities under the old paradigm. But those topics can be livened richly under a new framework.
