Metafyysisessä

Metafyysisessä is the Finnish word for "metaphysical" in its inessive case, meaning "in the metaphysical." The term "metaphysical" itself refers to a branch of philosophy that explores fundamental questions about reality, existence, and the nature of being. It delves into concepts that lie beyond the physical world, often concerning abstract ideas such as mind, consciousness, spirit, causality, time, and space.

Metaphysics seeks to understand the underlying principles that govern the universe, often by questioning the assumptions we make about everyday reality. It is distinct from physics in that it does not rely on empirical observation or experimentation, but rather on logical reasoning and conceptual analysis. Key areas within metaphysics include ontology, which studies the nature of existence, and cosmology, which examines the origin and structure of the universe.

When something is described as metafyysisessä, it implies that it pertains to these abstract, non-physical aspects of reality or that it is being considered from a metaphysical perspective. This could involve discussions about the soul's existence, the nature of free will, or the relationship between abstract concepts and concrete objects. The term is used to categorize inquiries and phenomena that transcend the observable and measurable world.
