Hi Joe,

Metaphysics is a presentation of the nature of being, yes.  The format
does not beg an answer, it is an answer.  Adherence to the format can
be judged by how well the format fits with one's experience and other
personally accepted formats.  Every metaphysics grows and changes with
the times.

Many of the things discussed in MoQ were presented millenia ago, but
with a different world view.  Each generation has a different way of
saying the same things.  If there is some fundamental appreciation of
the nature of being, then it is called a perennial philosophy.
Otherwise it is a fad.  Tattoos are back in fashion!  That makes them
perennial.  Mini skirts are not, they were a fad.  These things are so
simple to figure out...:-)

Metaphysics is what we think it is.

Cheers,
Mark
