The name is not by aristotle but due to a later librarian who edited all scriptures of aristotle 1 if metaphysics is meant as a rational investigation of (as aristotle put it) being qua being, what are to date the main, most important, most achieved, most detailed, most popular, or most interesting metaphysical theories in contention The librarian arranged the scripts in question behind aristotle's scripts on physics which in greek means meta ta physica.

Metaphysics is a very broad field, and metaphysicians attempt to answer questions about how the world is
An ontology posits which entities exist in the world.
I've never really seen this defined, and contemporary analytic metaphysics tends to make no distinction between existing and being The meinongians famously distinguished between different kinds of being, where some things with being might not exist. Metaphysics seems to be a field that is almost purely abstract However, i am also interested in knowing how metaphysics has impacted the real world, if at all.
In that sense, metaphysics is the study of causes and principles, and more precisely, the highest causes or the most fundamental ones One way to answer the question of ultimate causes is to say that the first cause of the universe cannot be material, but has to be spiritual , more precisely, god. 4 metaphysics is supposed to answer the question what is the nature of reality? reality is by definition all that there is, so nature is part of it presuming it exists, if so then there cannot be a nature of reality. Metaphysics (at the very least) lies in the province of the 'human' world — values, attitudes, ideals, social and cultural norms, etc — and the 'human' world is constructed in, mediated by, and infused with language.
