Abstract: Metaphysics has always played an important role in the western culture. The fate of metaphysics, especially its development in the revolutions of philosophy in modern times, is an important enlightenment to the contemporary reconstruction of philosophy. The themes of metaphysics such as ontology were determined by the ancient philosophers in Greece, and its features were formed gradually. In the course of modern revolution of philosophy which was called the epistemological turn, metaphysics was applied to investigate epistemological problems by philosophers, and was developed in a new way. Even being criticized in the movement of abandonment of metaphysics, it never retreated. On the contrary, many contemporary philosophers are devoting to rebuild metaphysics because it is the human nature and the foundation of philosophy. But man and his practice are the starting point and core of the reconstruction of metaphysics, and the integration of Western and Eastern philosophic spirits is the way out of the future metaphysics.
