This is something I don't really understand in terms of philosophy, can someone please help define this for me?
Cythraul said:The branch of philosophy that studies the nature of reality. The kind of questions that would fall under the subject of metaphysics are usually things like "Does God exist?", "Does a non-corporeal reality exist or is reality simply reducible to the empirical?" or "Does the material world exist?" It should be noted that I am a consumate anti-metaphysician. Ask me why.
