Step 2

For each term, do the following:

State whether it is related to metaphysics, epistemology, or both and in what way.

Discuss how it factors into your belief system, or discuss something you feel is interesting about how the term fits into the study of metaphysics or epistemology.

Example Response Using a Term from Week 7
