Metaphysical Truth

Metaphysical truth refers to the fundamental nature of reality and existence, often exploring questions that go beyond the physical or empirical realm. It is a central concept in metaphysics, a branch of philosophy that investigates the nature of being, identity, time, space, causality, and the various relationships between these entities. In Hebrew, this concept can be translated as אמת מטאפיזית (emet meta-fizit). In other languages, it is known as vérité métaphysique in French, metaphysische waarheid in Dutch, and metaphysiska sanningen in Swedish. Metaphysical truth seeks to understand the underlying principles that govern reality, often delving into abstract and theoretical inquiries. It contrasts with empirical truth, which is derived from observation and evidence. Key contextual information includes the distinction between metaphysical truth and other forms of truth, such as logical or moral truth, and its role in various philosophical systems and religious traditions.
