Remembering that metaphysics is evaluative, answer question 1 on pages 104 - 105. If you are inclined to add some elements to the list, go ahead and do this. Make sure you complete the rankings honestly: they should reflect what you actually see in your life, and not simply what you'd like to believe about yourself. Write an essay describing what you observe. Looking at the rankings, try to assess how (if at all)your viewpoint makes the two basic assumptions of Western metaphysics: that what is basically real endures change, and that basic reality forms some kind of unity. Does your metaphysical viewpoint resemble any of those developed in Chapter 4?
