Team disseminated science -- and type of philosophy (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

metaphysics

'type of philosophy' is the definition.

'team disseminated science' is the wordplay.
'disseminated' indicates an anagram.
'science' becomes 'physics' (physics is a kind of science**).
'team' anagrammed gives 'meta'.
'meta'+'physics'='METAPHYSICS'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for metaphysics that I've seen before include "Mystic shape (anag) -- branch of philosophy" , "Study" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
