    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Being and non-being are not opposites; potentiality is a genuine mode of existence distinct from both actualization and negation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Change requires a subject that persists through transformation; changeability presupposes the reality and continuity of that subject.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If changeability were a deficiency, immutable things would be more real, yet immutability in nature appears only in abstractions, not things.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Changeability depends on metaphysical composition and dependency; unchanging foundational elements may be more ontologically basic than composite things.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Being as such could be defined by actuality and self-sufficiency; change logically indicates incompleteness and reliance on external causation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim confuses universal prevalence with metaphysical status; that all things change doesn't show change constitutes being rather than reflects limitation.
