Main article: Metaphysics

Metaphysics is the branch of philosophy that investigates principles of reality transcending those of any particular science. Cosmology and ontology are traditional branches of metaphysics. It is concerned with explaining the fundamental nature of being and the world.^[1] Someone who studies metaphysics can be called either a "metaphysician" or a "metaphysicist".^[2]
