Metaphysics is defined by [Merriam Webster Online] as "abstract philosophical studies" or "a study of what is outside objective experience". Contextually, metaphysical discussion often alludes to philosophers such as Descartes ("I think, therefore I am") or Aristotle. These discussions often bring into question the nature of existence and humanity's place in creation.
