Metaphisics Is really only an extension of a fundamental and necessary drive in every human being to know what is real. The question is how to account for this unreal thing in terms of what you can accept as real. Thus, a very big part of the metaphysician's task is to explain that part of our experience, which wecall unreal in terms of what we call real.
For instance, for Thales, a Greek philosopher, everything is water. He claims that everything we experience is water- which we call "reality". Everything else is "appearance." We the set out to try to explain everything else(appearance) in terms of water (reality). Both idealist and materialist metaphysical theories are similarly based on unobservable entities: mind and matter. We can see things made up of matter such as book or a chair, but we cannot see the underlying matter itself.
Socrates' most famous student, is a good example of a metaphysician who draws the sharpest possible contrast between reality and appearance. Nothing we experience in the physical world with our five senses is real, according to Plato. Reality, in fact, is just the opposite. It is unchanging, eternal, immaterial, and can be detected only by the intellect. Reflection, meditations, and conversations that rocked the world. "By What Values Shall I Live in this World?" - Plato
