Summary/Abstract: The nature of the human person as a subject of lived experience and as an indispensable agent of rational knowledge presents to the society the necessity to duly and reasonably educate the individual in order to have proper knowledge of the whole existence. With metaphysics as the Theory of Reality the human society understand that the conceptualization of knowledge is indispensably dependable on the knowledge of the human person, beyond the power of physical/sensible perceptibility. As such, the idea of metaphysics makes the education of the human person very concrete, robust, holistic and integral in understanding the workability of nature, due to the power of the human mind. Adopting phenomenological method of analysis in assessing the implications of metaphysics as a Theory of Reality in education, the paper concludes that the societal integration of the metaphysical imports of education will concretize the realization of integral human development and engineer proper advancement of the society.
