Explanation:
Мне кажется, что здесь речь идет о том, что включает в себя данный принцип, а не конкретно то, что он изучает.

Explanation:
It doesn't "consider" and certainly doesn't "explain": metaphysics is anything but explicit, that's for sure :)

comprehend


Explanation:
Фраза "принцип полагает" несет здесь оттенки "принцип осмысляет/осознает" и "принцип утверждает" (существование) мира в целом и его тотальность.
Предлагаю перевести как the principle comprehends both the world as a whole and its totality.
Слово comprehend достаточно часто встречается в философских текстах.
Вот относительно близкий пример употребления: "In contrast to art and religion, philosophy comprehends both the necessity of those two forms of the cognition... and the necessity of this content itself" (The Routledge Companion to Nineteenth Century Philosophy by D. Moyar
