Hmm, our definitions of logic and metaphysics must be different. In my understanding logic is the study and process of validating inferences, through and in aid of formalised argumentation and reasoning. And metaphysics is the study of the nature of reality.

So while logic may be applied in metaphysics, how is metaphysics a subset of logic? Is the metaphysics you study in college somehow different to my understanding of what metaphysics is?
