Metaphysics is all of the deepest "What is the nature of..." questions. Unlike knowledge claims per-se ( logical necessity and empirical probability ) it cannot be understood by direct experience. It's validation is in the coherence of a set of answers ( https://kaiserbasileus.substack.com/p/metaphysics-in-a-nutshell ), internally to be rational and externally to be useful.
Word "metaphysics" is used in many different ways. When I use it, I mean just "beyond" or "above" physics. To be honest I'm not interested in arguing about definitions of basic concepts in philosophy, I prefer to focus on real problems that are interesting to me.
