Some Facts About Metaphysics

Aristote is considered the creator of metaphysics.

Metaphysics (Greek μετά (meta) = "beyond", φυσικά (phisiká) = "things from nature") is a domain of philosophy whose study object is explaining the nature of the world. It is the study of the being and of the act of being, therefore of reality.

Metaphysics addresses to the thought questions like: " Which is the nature of reality?", "Does God exist? or "Which is the place of man in the universe?"

An essential branch of metaphysics is ontology, the investigation of the category of things which exist in the world and the relationship between them. The metaphysician tries to explain notions through which people understand world, including its existence, the notion of object, property, space, time, causality, interconnections and possibility.

Much more recently the term metaphysics was used to characterize subjects which are „over" or „out of" this physical world, and it does not have an ontologic, academic conotation. The term metaphysics can also be used quite ironically, to denominate something sensational, supernatural, and it is associated with false sciences like spiritism, divination in crystal runes or tarot, predicting the future, ocultism, etc., is not recognized by academic philosophy, as the false sciences previously mentioned have nothing to do with real metaphysics. All these domains are ways of using illusions to feed an unhappy or frustrated soul most of the times.

Metaphysics is more than it.

The history of the concept

Complex notion, and the object of many disputes, like its own essennce, metaphysics was firstly explained by Andronicus from Rhode, the publisher of Aristote's works.
