FACT, SCIENTIFIC THEORY AS UNIVERSAL, SCIENTIFIC THEORY AS FACT, LOGIC

PURE METAPHYSICS, PRAGMATIC METAPHYSICS, Pure-Pragmatic or PERFECT METAPHYSICS

Method—How to Join the Pure and Pragmatic

The pure is perfect as correspondence

The PRAGMATIC AS AN ABSTRACT

The pure reveals the nature of the pragmatic (as the pragmatic is perfect as the best instrument in realizing the pure)

DEATH, RECEPTACLE, DISPOSITION, THE WAY OF BEING

Cosmology

COSMOLOGY is the study of the duration, extent, and variety of being.

Cosmology—Method

See §To Join the Pure and The Pragmatic

REFLEXIVE CATEGORIAL ANALYSIS AND SYNTHESIS is the essence of method

The source of Being

The Old FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF METAPHYSICS—Why is there Being?

The New Fundamental Problem—What has Being? The generic form of all fundamental questions.
