Definition
"La metafisica" is a branch of philosophy that studies the nature of being, existence, and reality. It explores fundamental questions about what exists beyond the physical world and seeks to understand concepts such as time, space, causality, and the nature of objects.
Etymology
The term "la metafisica" originates from the Greek words 'meta' meaning 'beyond' and 'physika' meaning 'physical things.' It was first used to title Aristotle's works that came after his writings on physics, reflecting its focus on what lies beyond the physical world. Did you know? The name was given later by editors, not Aristotle himself.
