I... its a subject I don’t care to go into. To take another example: the more powerful acids corrode or blacken organic compounds. This is a case of causation, but of remote causation; and is said to be explained when it is shown that there is an intermediate link, namely, the separation of some of the chemical elements of the organic structure from the rest, and their entering into combination with the acid. The acid causes this separation of the elements, and the separation of the elements causes the disorganization, and often the charring of the structure. So, again, chlorine extracts coloring matters (whence its efficacy in bleaching) and purifies the air from infection. This law is resolved into the two following laws: Chlorine has a powerful affinity for bases of all kinds, particularly metallic bases and hydrogen: such bases are essential elements of coloring matters and contagious compounds, which substances, therefore, are decomposed and destroyed by chlorine. § 2. We have now sufficiently exemplified one of the principal Genera in this Order of Fallacies; where, the source of error being the ambiguity of terms, the premises are verbally what is required to support the conclusion, but not really so. In the second great Fallacy of Confusion they are neither verbally nor really sufficient, though, from their multiplicity and confused arrangement, and still oftener from defect of memory, they are not seen to be what they are. The fallacy I mean is that of Petitio Principii, or begging the question; including the more complex and not uncommon variety of it, which is termed Reasoning in a Circle. Thanks, my sister said. Clean Maine living, you should come up sometime. Well? Colonel Stepney asked. Ostrander nodded.Now, you say the boat continued to burn, Rob? Of course he is, the judge said, and Im not saying anything against Dr. Beaumont. He made a post-mortem until he found what he thought was the cause of death, and then he quit looking because he had found what he was looking for — or he thought he had; but if he’d looked a little farther, he’d have found the same things Dr. Dixon did and probably would have reached the same conclusions. He locked the car, slipped the key in his pocket, and started groping his way towards the house, taking the precaution to move quietly over familiar back paths, picking his way so that he could approach his kennels from the rear. The theory which has been the subject of these remarks is, in this country at least, the principal contemporary example of what I have styled the geometrical method of philosophizing in the social science; and our examination of it has, for this reason, been more detailed than would otherwise have been suitable to a work like the present. Having now sufficiently illustrated the two erroneous methods, we shall pass without further preliminary to the true method; that which proceeds (conformably to the practice of the more complex physical sciences) deductively indeed, but by deduction from many, not from one or a very few, original premises; considering each effect as (what it really is) an aggregate result of many causes, operating sometimes through the same, sometimes through different mental agencies, or laws of human nature. It came. Lester quit goggling at Kewpie, who was really something to look at, if you like chubby fat men, and said to me,Did you see the... Hes not here yet, Mom. Yes, before she... Oh, okay, she said in the same sing-song voice, and I heard the phone clattering down again. So was I, but I didnt like to admit it. I told her again that I’d call her and kept on toward the Rustic. I didn’t think she’d tell Rucci anything about seeing me but there was that possibility. And even if she didn’t talk she was an added complication and I didn’t need anything more on my mind right then. I had plenty as it was. BLOOOP. Youre not to blame, Mom, Aaron says at once, and takes her in his arms. Youknew something was wrong, so you went to see a doctor. Crazy people don’t do that. Shes not handling this properly. He grinned. Damn right you cant..
