Discover a rigorous, accessible account of causality centered on the idea of the continuant.

This volume examines how cause and effect relate when we focus on what persists through change. It uses clear examples from physics and psychology to show how continuants act as the logical backbone of causation, identity, and change over time and across space. The discussion helps readers see why non-identity is essential to distinguishing cause from effect, and how ideas like immanent and transeunt causality fit into scientific and philosophical reasoning.

- Learn how continuants function as the logical basis for connecting events in time and space.
- See how physical and psychical illustrations illuminate the idea of continuance and change.
- Understand how identity and difference arise in causal relationships without assuming static attributes.
- Explore the limits of substance talk and how modern views separate logical continuants from metaphysical baggage.

Ideal for readers of philosophy and logic who want a clear, methodical look at causation, identity, and the structure of scientific explanation.

Excerpt from Logic, Vol. 3

� I. The subjects discussed in Parts I and II come within the scope of what may be called Formal Logic. Here the proposition is taken to be the immediate object of a possible assertion; and a consideration of its nature leads to the conception of the antithesis and connection of substantive with adjective, as disclosed in the analysis of the simplest articulate form of judgment. The function of language and more particularly of names is examined. It is held that the different forms assumed by compound propositions are indicated by various words, not standing for substantival or adjectival constituents, but expressive of the modes in which simple propositions or their constituents are to be connected by constructive thought. Such considerations lead to a preliminary definition and enumeration of logical categories roughly corresponding to (and replacing) the grammatical enumeration of parts of speech.

In the more detailed examination which follows, substantives proper or existents are distinguished from quasi-substantives, adjectives predicable of the former being termed primary and those predicable of the latter secondary. Modality, in its formal aspects, is treated under the more general heading of secondary propositions.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of logic and their application to the understanding of reality. The author challenges traditional views of formal logic, arguing that it is not merely a system of abstract rules but a crucial tool for exploring the nature of substance, causality, and the very fabric of our existence. The work positions itself within a long-standing philosophical debate, engaging with the ideas of figures like Hume, Kant, and Mill, and ultimately offering a unique perspective on the relationship between mind and matter. The book grapples with challenging questions about the nature of cause and effect, the interaction between the physical and the mental, and the concept of free will. Through a careful analysis of language, thought, and the structure of scientific inquiry, the author presents a nuanced and compelling argument for a dualistic view of reality, one that acknowledges both the distinct nature of the physical and the psychical, while simultaneously suggesting ways in which they interact. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the foundational principles that underpin our understanding of the world, ultimately challenging us to rethink our assumptions about the relationship between logic and reality.
