With this is meant that the passage from modernity to contemporaneity, philosophy turns out to incorporate the critical content to metaphysics and evolves in the direction of come to recognize their condition to be metaphysics and undertake criticism to this condition. To establish the approach to the subject looking here to keep underlying the idea of critique of metaphysics in the context of the history of philosophy; but it is prioritized the thematic aspect rather than its historical aspect.
