Must there be some basic element of reality from which everything else is composed?
Everything has to be made of something, and because of this, yes, there must be a basic element of reality of which everything else is composed. Suppose you wanted to build a chair. What would you use to build that chair? Legs, a seat, perhaps some additional cross pieces for additional strength. But what are those made of? Wood or metal? Then what is that material composed of? Everything is built upon something so there must be some basic element of reality that cannot be split apart, because a chair a a combination of parts and the parts of that chair can be split apart and changed and are therefore a combination of particles.

Ten Philosophical Questions
About Me
I'm Carlos Killpack I like music, I guess you could even say its my addiction. That being said it shouldn't be much surprise to hear that I host a radio show called Indie Invasion. (Which is, by the way, the greatest radio show on earth) I play the drums and the guitar. I play football and I am Mormon, meaning that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The purpose of writing this blog is to ponder the mysteries of the Universe and share my views of them, (cool right) therefore the topics discussed here can vary widely. Each post is filed under one or more of the categories at the top right. Please enjoy.
