Metaphysics is a type of philosophy, which is the study of why things are the way they are. Metaphysics is different from other types of philosophy because it looks at things that we can't see or touch. It looks at things that are related to the meaning of life, what happens after we die, and whether or not there is a higher power. Metaphysics tries to answer the big questions: What is reality? What are the laws that govern life? What is the purpose of life? Metaphysics often uses reasoning and logic to figure out the answers to these questions.
