Meta-metaphysics
Meta-metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that involves topics involving questioning the physics of how things work. Metaphysics by itself is a topic that questions physics which requires intense philosophical thinking, e.g., am I living in a simulation?; what is true knowledge; does true knowledge exist; is luck really luck? However, meta-metaphysics is a topic about questioning metaphysics by itself, e.g., does metaphysics exist?; why does metaphysics exist?
The first thoughts on meta-metaphysics can be traced back to the mid-20th century, specifically to the debate between Rudolf Carnap and W.V.O. Quine in the 1940s and 1950s. This debate focused on fundamental questions about the nature of existence and ontological commitments, which laid the groundwork for what we now consider meta-metaphysics.
The emergence of meta-metaphysics as a distinct and systematic area of study is more recent, dating back to the late 1990s. Since then, it has expanded to encompass a broader range of questions about the nature, methodology, and epistemology of metaphysics, going beyond the initial focus on existence and quantification to include topics such as grounding, fundamentality, and the relationship between metaphysics and science.

Metaphysics is the study of deep philosophical thinking of how nature truly works. Meta-metaphysics is the study of deep philosophical thinking of the study of deep thinking of how nature truly works. Meta-metaphysics is the study of deep philosophical thinking of the study of the deep philosophical thinking of the study of the deep philosophical thinking of how nature truly works. This can go on forever, without getting true answers on every meta-topic.
