Chapter XXIII. She held the door open and said,Come on in. When we define the cause of any thing (in the only sense in which the present inquiry has any concern with causes) to bethe antecedent which it invariably follows, we do not use this phrase as exactly synonymous with “the antecedent which it invariably has followed in our past experience. Such a mode of conceiving causation would be liable to the objection very plausibly urged by Dr. Reid, namely, that according to this doctrine night must be the cause of day, and day the cause of night; since these phenomena have invariably succeeded one another from the beginning of the world. But it is necessary to our using the word cause, that we should believe not only that the antecedent always has been followed by the consequent, but that, as long as the present constitution of things[116] endures, it always will be so. And this would not be true of day and night. We do not believe that night will be followed by day under all imaginable circumstances, but only that it will be so provided the sun rises above the horizon. If the sun ceased to rise, which, for aught we know, may be perfectly compatible with the general laws of matter, night would be, or might be, eternal. On the other hand, if the sun is above the horizon, his light not extinct, and no opaque body between us and him, we believe firmly that unless a change takes place in the properties of matter, this combination of antecedents will be followed by the consequent, day; that if the combination of antecedents could be indefinitely prolonged, it would be always day; and that if the same combination had always existed, it would always have been day, quite independently of night as a previous condition. Therefore is it that we do not call night the cause, nor even a condition, of day. The existence of the sun (or some such luminous body), and there being no opaque medium in a straight line[117] between that body and the part of the earth where we are situated, are the sole conditions; and the union of these, without the addition of any superfluous circumstance, constitutes the cause. This is what writers mean when they say that the notion of cause involves the idea of necessity. If there be any meaning which confessedly belongs to the term necessity, it is unconditionalness. That which is necessary, that which must be, means that which will be, whatever supposition we may make in regard to all other things. The succession of day and night evidently is not necessary in this sense. It is conditional on the occurrence of other antecedents. That which will be followed by a given consequent when, and only when, some third circumstance also exists, is not the cause, even though no case should ever have occurred in which the phenomenon took place without it. Annie,please! Ihate that kind of language. I promise. Where are you, Annie? Subduct from any phenomenon such part as is known by previous inductions to be the effect of certain antecedents, and the residue of the phenomenon is the effect of the remaining antecedents. Respectively subalternate: Well, Berkeley said, fixing his eyes significantly on the sheriff, I dont see anything about it that necessarily needs to remain confidential so far as we are concerned. But what interests me more than anything else is the manner in which Dr. Moritz can hold a class spellbound while he lectures in a conversational tone of voice. 21 Assuming that the proposition, The Duke of Wellington is mortal, is immediately an inference from the proposition, All men are mortal; whence do we derive our knowledge of that general truth? Of course from observation. Now, all which man can observe are individual cases. From these all general truths must be drawn, and into these they may be again resolved; for a general truth is but an aggregate of particular truths; a comprehensive expression, by which an indefinite number of individual facts are affirmed or denied at once. But a general proposition is not merely a compendious form for recording and preserving in the memory a number of particular facts, all of which have been observed. Generalizationis not a process of mere naming, it is also a process of inference. From instances which we have observed, we feel warranted in concluding, that what we found true in those instances, holds in all similar ones, past, present, and future, however numerous they may be. We then, by that valuable contrivance of language which enables us to speak of many as if they were one, record all that we have observed, together with all that we infer from our observations, in one concise expression; and have thus only one proposition, instead of an endless number, to remember or to communicate. The resultsof many observations and inferences, and instructions for making innumerable inferences in unforeseen cases, are compressed into one short sentence. booty big tits Well, its a small gallery, and I paint big, Buck explained. I remember the two old timers about then and looked at their booth and didnt see them. Then I saw a grey head poke up from below the table and figured I’d been right in thinking they knew what was coming. I turned and started for the front room and right as I did Spanish hit me from the side and started climbing all over me and screaming: Youd be surprised how uninterested the sheriff is going to be in all this stuff, Captain Harmon said. Novum Organum Renovatum, pp. 35-37. Right. I do mean it. It is impossible to imagine any proposition expressed in abstract terms, which can not be transformed into a precisely equivalent proposition in which the terms are concrete; namely, either the concrete names which connote the attributes themselves, or the names of thefundamenta of those attributes; the facts or phenomena on which they are grounded. To illustrate the latter case, let us take this proposition, of which the subject only is an abstract name, Thoughtlessness is dangerous. Thoughtlessness is an attribute, grounded on the facts which we call thoughtless actions; and the proposition is equivalent to this, Thoughtless actions are dangerous. In the next example the predicate as well as the subject are abstract names: “Whiteness is a color; or “The color of snow is a whiteness. These attributes being grounded on sensations, the equivalent propositions in the concrete would be, The sensation of white is one of the sensations called those of color—The sensation of sight, caused by looking at snow, is one of the sensations called sensations of white. In these propositions, as we have before seen, the matter-of-fact asserted is a Resemblance. In the following examples, the concrete terms are those which directly correspond to the abstract names; connoting the attribute which these denote. “Prudence is a virtue: this may be rendered, “All prudent persons, in so far as prudent, are virtuous: “Courage is deserving of honor; thus, “All courageous persons are deserving of honor in so far as they are courageous: which is equivalent to this—“All courageous persons deserve an addition to the honor, or a diminution of the disgrace, which would attach to them on other grounds. She rocked her head to one side, then the other.Um. Nothings immediately jumping out at me. You?’ The big man picked up the notebook, moved off a short distance and turned so that the light came over his shoulder. He said,Youre one of these meticulous chaps. You probably keep complete, accurate records. Yes, here we are. Expenses... the numbers of your traveler’s checks, the number of your passport. Now, Rob, you know, if you’d hidden anything, I’ve a hunch you’d have made some note about it... particularly if you’d had to hide it along the highway. Now let’s see, Rob, we’ll turn through all these pages of expenses and look for the last page in the notebook. The last one where... well, well, well! Here’s a little sketch map of a road intersection and — well, now, Rob, I think we’re beginning to get somewhere. If you’ll just loosen up and tell me about what these marks mean — no, wait a minute. You don’t have to. They’re fence posts, and these numbers must be the numbers of the highways, just so far from the intersection. That must be the count of the fence posts, and this diagonal with distances on it — why, bless your heart, Rob, that will be a road sign, right on the highway, and we can locate that road sign mathematically from these distances. Well, now, Rob, that’s better, that’s a lot better. Just a whole lot better..
