For Aristotle's work, see
Metaphysics (Aristotle) . Metaphysics is the branch of
philosophy that investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science, traditionally including
cosmology and
ontology. It is also concerned with explaining the ultimate nature of
being and the
world. Its name derives from the
Greek words μετά (metá) (meaning "after") and φυσικά (physiká) (meaning "physics"), "physics" referring to those works on matter by
Aristotle in antiquity. As a result of Aristotle's usage, "meta" has come to mean "beyond; over; transcending" in English. Therefore, metaphysics is also the study of that which transcends physics. Many philosophers such as
Immanuel Kant would later argue that certain questions concerning metaphysics (notably those surrounding the existence of
God,
soul, and
freedom) are inherent to human reason and have always intrigued mankind. Some examples are:What is the nature of
reality?Why does the
world exist, and what is its origin or source of creation?Does the world exist outside the mind?If things exist, what is their objective nature?
