<p>Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy which seeks to explore the principles of reality, and reality here being what makes up philosophy. We can thus describe philosophy as the study of the real, true nature of things. Anything that cannot be explained or proven by experiment or through observation is subjected to the scrutiny of metaphysics. Often, metaphysics is said to involve the study of things which are perceived to be supernatural. There are two approaches used in metaphysics, the first one being a general study of how and why things occur as they are. The second one goes deeper to explore the found meanings and reasons for the existence of something. It brings out a different perspective from the one we know. </p>
<p>There are different types of metaphysics. These include; theology, ontology and universal science. Theology is religious study and can be described more specifically as the study of gods. Man&#8217;s belief in god(s) cannot be proved by anything quietly. There are various types of theology where each religion has its own theology in line with its beliefs, traditions and doctrines.  Not everyone believes in theology though, markedly atheists who do not believe these gods do indeed exist. However some of them are involved in this type of metaphysics, albeit as critics. They are in it to find if there are loopholes they can use to discredit advances made theologically. </p>
<p>The second type of metaphysics as a form of physiology is ontology. This is the study of the nature of real things and reality as we can see it. It seeks to analyze the many beliefs put out to people and slowly eliminates those which cannot be proven with evidence, no matter how big or small. This type of metaphysics is not popular among atheists. These are people, who do not believe that god&#8217;s rather God, exist and therefore do not care about anything to do with theology and/or its implications to the world.</p>
<p>The third metaphysics is universal science, which seeks to explore the foundation and basics of first principles. That is to say, universal science seeks to argue the concepts we believe in by looking for ways of disputing what we believe to be true. This is the most complicated type of metaphysics law. Philosophy as metaphysics is therefore very important as it explores all aspects of our beliefs and justifies a lot of the things we may be doubtful of.  </p>
