The purpose of this article is to present a research design. It is introduced a proposal for empirical research exploring the results of the four main global commodity exchanges on the theoretical assumption of natural philosophy about the relationship of the seven basic metals (gold, silver, copper, mercury, tin, lead and iron). The author focuses on the analysis of the integrating way of sciences, which connect the theories of philosophy with the current world commodity exchanges. The theory of the cycle of time for the seven qualities of time (i.e. chronokrators or Zeitgeist) has not yet been empirically investigated for shorter time periods (decades). The assumption of the variable dominance of one of the metals in the specific period can be applied in the analysis of the development on the commodity market by the prices among the seven metals. In the article the author suggests new possible perspectives of research in the future. The author uses the method of meta-synthesis of philosophical, social and economic theories.
