Initial Reflection

From the start, I knew I wanted to explore metaphysics within philosophy, given my large interest in the subject as well as its abstractedness – as knowing no definite answer could be reached drew my curiosity into how I could write and discuss it in an essay – presenting a challenge but opportunity for growth. I initially showed interest in the theoretical contradictions of God – also allowing excessive comparisons and deep analysis to be taken – making a good EE. From there, I spent time researching online and in books, and speaking with my supervisor to thoroughly narrow down this idea; refined into compatibilist arguments, then theological fatalism, then into a single statement within it – whilst ensuring I had a clear two-sided argument to discuss (yes/no question) between two philosophers with juxtaposing theories – all in ensuring my question wasn’t too open, as my major worry for a philosophy essay was how endlessly you could argue it.
