The English word “metaphysics” can be translated into Bengali in a few ways depending on context.
The most common and philosophically accurate term is:
অধিবিদ্যা (Adhibidya) — metaphysics
This is the standard academic/philosophical Bengali term used in discussions of philosophy, especially in university contexts.
Breakdown:
অধি (adhi) = beyond / higher
বিদ্যা (vidya) = knowledge or science
So it literally suggests “knowledge beyond the physical.”
Related terms sometimes used in spiritual contexts include:
পরাবিদ্যা (Paravidya) — higher/transcendent knowledge
তত্ত্ববিদ্যা (Tattvavidya) — knowledge of ultimate reality/principles
আধ্যাত্মিক দর্শন (Adhyatmik Darshan) — spiritual philosophy
If you are discussing thinkers like Sri Yukteswar or Paramahansa Yogananda, then অধিবিদ্যা is usually the cleanest equivalent for “metaphysics.”
