Metaphysics
The word "metaphysics" just means "after physics," which is where the editors of Aristotle's writings placed his treatise on ontology. Ontology is the study of being qua being. So metaphysics is about the fundamental nature of reality (what-is). To be a philosopher is to be a lover of wisdom. Since it is senseless to suppose that someone could be wise accidentally or without an accurate apprehension of reality, metaphysics is fundamental to philosophy.
The study of metaphysics inscapes ontology. Modernism begins to transpose ontology towards the orchestration of the world around us, whereas metaphysics deals with the relational world, in terms of objective supposition. Subjectivity remains a placement theory that converses in the language of conditional association. Metaphysics is not subjective to the world, but to one's own practical experience of perception that cannot be theorized without exception.
In the writings of Aristotle concerning the study of nature which to him meant "physics" he uses the term of "first philosophy" in the third discipline of this treatise. In modern terminology metaphysics comes closest to his meaning.

The doctrines and teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) do not correlate with those of metaphysics. That is, you could not honestly believe in both metaphysics and Mormonism. That being said, Mormons are not 'against' metaphysics. It is a fundamental belief of Mormons that all people should have the freedom to believe and worship as they choose. Mormons recognize metaphysics as a legitimate belief system, just one which they don't personally believe in. Mormons are welcome to study and learn about metaphysics if it interests them.
I would argue that metaphysics is more a study of being. Existentialism mor specifically
