Building a Baseline:
A tiny blunder at the beginning of a philosophical inquiry can create an enormous disaster later on towards the denouement of the very same. If the very first thing the mind perceives is that of existence and material composition, then being able to circumvent plausible blunders when it comes to reasoning in regards to these two perceptions, they can be summarized and defined by taking all that is around us and taking each individual characteristic into account that differentiates one thing from another, as to better be able to comprehend the entirety of these two concepts. It will give us insight as each thing can be categorized and further defined, especially into how it relates into similar things through similar characteristics of it’s being.
As we want to eventually incorporate all information spanning from that which is simple to that which is complex, differentiating the before from the after, front and back, inside and outside, it is wise to develop this sense of inquiry and knowing about all things in existence by first beginning with that which is easier to grasp, then moving onto that which is more difficult and complex. We can conclude it is therefore easier to theorize about existence first then the material composition of this thing that exists.
