APPENDIX A: Metaphysics Analysis 2

DAVID BIRNBAUM METAPHYSICS

DAVID BIRNBAUM PHILOSOPHY

Now, some of the questions involved in assessing various metaphysics might be the following: (These questions tend to overlap, but have different thrusts and nuance.)

Is the metaphysics overarching? All-embracing?

Does the metaphysics handle the key questions in philosophy? (re-capped in the INTROS and FOREWORDS of the two books of this series)

Does the metaphysics have a fatal flaw(s);
a major gap(s),

– or does it essentially legitimately ‘stitch-together’
all the key issues
*

To what extent is the metaphysics TETHERED to classic works or spiritual texts?

*

Does the core of the metaphysics RESONATE within us?

*

Is the case made exclusively “in an Ivory Tower” –

– or is the case somewhat brought-down-to-earth,
as well?
