Synopsis
Excerpt from Logic, Vol. 2: Demonstrative Inference; Deductive and Inductive
Before introducing the topics to be examined in Part II, I propose to recapitulate the substance of Part I, and in so doing to bring into connection with one another certain problems which were there treated in different chapters. I hope thus to lay different emphasis upon some of the theories that have been maintained, and to remove any possible misunderstandings where the treatment was unavoidably condensed.
In my analysis of the proposition I have distinguished the natures of substantive and adjective in a form intended to accord in essentials with the doctrine of the large majority of logicians, and as far as my terminology is new its novelty consists in giving wider scope to each of these two fundamental terms. Prima facie it might be supposed that the connection of substantive with adjective in the construction of a proposition is tantamount to the metaphysical notions of substance and inherence. But my notion of substantive is intended to include, besides the metaphysical notion of substance - so far as this can be philosophically justified - the notion of occurrences or events to which some philosophers of the present day wish to restrict the realm of reality. Thus by a substantive proper I mean an existent; and the category of the existent is divided into the two subcategories: what continues to exist, or the continuant; and what ceases to exist, or the occurrent, every occurrent being referrible to a continuant.
