Metaphysics: Beauty in the Inbetween
Metaphysics is more than just an abstract branch of philosophy — it’s a way of exploring the unseen forces interwoven between us and the world around ua. At its heart, metaphysics asks the big questions: What is reality? Why do we exist? How do we make sense of things we can’t directly observe?
It’s a branch of study for anyone who’s ever wondered “why” in regards to the many wonderful, beautiful, yet sometimes terrifying aspects of the universe.

“Human behavior flows from three main sources; desire, emotion and knowledge.”
Plato
Plato believed in a world of perfect forms, existing beyond the physical realm.
“Two things awe me most, the starry sky above me and the moral law within me.”

Immanuel Kant? He brought a whole new level of complexity by asking how our perceptions shape reality.
