Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy exploring the fundamental questions, including the nature of concepts like being, existence, and reality. Traditional metaphysics seeks to answer, in a "suitably abstract and fully general manner", the questions:

1. What is there?
2. And what is it like?

Topics of metaphysical investigation include existence, objects and their properties, space and time, cause and effect, and possibility.
