With a chill, he now knew for sure who they both were— how had he missed it earlier? Probably too struck by the other famous faces. To overlook this grand distinction was, as it seems to me, the capital error in Bacons view of inductive philosophy. The principle of elimination, that great logical instrument which he had the immense merit of first bringing into general use, he deemed applicable in the same sense, and in as unqualified a manner, to the investigation of the co-existences, as to that of the successions of phenomena. He seems to have thought that as every event has a cause, or invariable antecedent, so every property of an object has an invariable co-existent, which he called its form; and the examples he chiefly selected for the application and illustration of his method, were inquiries into such forms; attempts to determine in what else all those objects resembled, which agreed in some one general property, as hardness or softness, dryness or moistness, heat or coldness. Such inquiries could lead to no result. The objects seldom have any such circumstances in common. They usually agree in the one point inquired into, and in nothing else. A great proportion of the properties which, so far as we can conjecture, are the likeliest to be really ultimate, would seem to be inherently properties of many different kinds of things not allied in any other respect. And as for the properties which, being effects of causes, we are able to give some account of, they have generally nothing to do with the ultimate resemblances or diversities in the objects themselves, but depend on some outward circumstances, under the influence of which any objects whatever are capable of manifesting those properties; as is emphatically the case with those favorite subjects of Bacon’s scientific inquiries, hotness and coldness, as well as with hardness and softness, solidity and fluidity, and many other conspicuous qualities. She sees a light coming from a wooden shack just off the road. It is a quarter to one in the morning. The crystal on her watch is broken from when she was on her back struggling and her attackers spread her arms wide and held her hands and her wrists to the dusty road, pinning her there... Rob Trenton started to concentrate on Harvey Richmond, but the thought again popped into his mind that Linda Carroll had been on the point of confiding in him, of telling him something that he knew instinctively would have been of the greatest importance to him. And sheer coincidence had robbed him of the opportunity. The other ping-pong game had been finished at an inopportune time and Merton Ostrander had come to pick up Linda Carroll. If a little white celluloid ball on a ping-pong table had bounced just a few more times, Linda would at least have given him enough of an opening so that he could reopen the conversation later. Youd better bring is over near here. Don’t park it by the place, because somebody might see it. Leave it on the next block and remember where, so you can tell me. What the hell. They havent even frisked you, the big man said. That’s a hell of a way to run a business. The boys are getting on edge, and when they get on edge you can’t seem to depend on them for anything. Let’s take a look and see what you’ve got in your pockets, son. The reviewer says, that if the major premise included the conclusion,we should be able to affirm the conclusion without the intervention of the minor premise; but every one sees that that is impossible. A similar argument is urged by Mr. De Morgan (Formal Logic, p. 259): “The whole objection tacitly assumes the superfluity of the minor; that is, tacitly assumes we know Socrates (Mr. De Morgan says Plato, but to prevent confusion I have kept to my own exemplum.) to be a man as soon as we know him to be Socrates. The objection would be well grounded if the assertion that the major premise includes the conclusion, meant that it individually specifies all it includes. As, however, the only indication it gives is a description by marks, we have still to compare any new individual with the marks; and to show that this comparison has been made, is the office of the minor. But since, by supposition, the new individual has the marks, whether we have ascertained him to have them or not; if we have affirmed the major premise, we have asserted him to be mortal. Now my position is that this assertion can not be a necessary part of the argument. It can not be a necessary condition of reasoning that we should begin by making an assertion, which is afterward to be employed in proving a part of itself. I can conceive only one way out of this difficulty, viz., that what really forms the proof is the other part of the assertion: the portion of it, the truth of which has been ascertained previously: and that the unproved part is bound up in one formula with the proved part in mere anticipation, and as a memorandum of the nature of the conclusions which we are prepared to prove. In a minute, its going to mean fare thee well. Half an hour late? From the boat deck a dozen or so curious passengers had been watching the little drama which was being enacted on the lower deck. Now they expressed their appreciation and admiration spontaneously. 101 It is in this sense that logic is, what it was so expressively called by the schoolmen and by Bacon,ars artium; the science of science itself. All science consists of data and conclusions from those data, of proofs and what they prove: now logic points out what relations must subsist between data and whatever can be concluded from them, between proof and every thing which it can prove. If there be any such indispensable relations, and if these can be precisely determined, every particular branch of science, as well as every individual in the guidance of his conduct, is bound to conform to those relations, under the penalty of making false inferences—of drawing conclusions which are not grounded in the realities of things. Whatever has at any time been concluded justly, whatever knowledge has been acquired otherwise than by immediate intuition, depended on the observance of the laws which it is the province of logic to investigate. If the conclusions are just, and the knowledge real, those laws, whether known or not, have been observed. I am not here attempting to establish a theory of government, and am not called upon to determine the proportional weight which ought to be given to the circumstances which this school of geometrical politicians left out of their system, and those which they took into it. I am only concerned to show that their method was unscientific; not to measure the amount of error which may have affected their practical conclusions. Rob said,Why blame it on me? Do you know what happened there at the pier? I told you it was trouble, mister. Theyre up in your room waiting for you. § 5. But how are we to know that a uniformity ascertained by experience is only an empirical law? Since, by the supposition, we have not been able to resolve it into any other laws, how do we know that it is not an ultimate law of causation? Youve enabled her, is what you’ve done. She needs real help. My mother is shaking her head. I am talking to a stone wall. Mom, she hearsvoices! I say. “She talks tovoices. You said so yourself..
