Rob said,From where I sit, my chances dont look too good anyway. The word Teleology is also, but inconveniently and improperly, employed by some writers as a name for the attempt to explain the phenomena of the universe from final causes. § 1. There is, as has been frequently remarked in this work, a classification of things, which is inseparable from the fact of giving them general names. Every name which connotes an attribute, divides, by that very fact, all things whatever into two classes, those which have the attribute and those which have it not; those of which the name can be predicated, and those of which it can not. And the division thus made is not merely a division of such things as actually exist, or are known to exist, but of all such as may hereafter be discovered, and even of all which can be imagined. The account which I should give of this progress of the scientific mind is somewhat different. After a general law of nature has been ascertained, mens minds do not at first acquire a complete facility of familiarly representing to themselves the phenomena of nature in the character which that law assigns to them. The habit which constitutes the scientific cast of mind, that of conceiving facts of all descriptions conformably to the laws which regulate them—phenomena of all descriptions according to the relations which have been ascertained really to exist between them; this habit, in the case of newly-discovered relations, comes only by degrees. So long as it is not thoroughly formed, no necessary character is ascribed to the new truth. But in time, the philosopher attains a state of mind in which his mental picture of nature spontaneously represents to him all the phenomena with which the new theory is concerned, in the exact light in which the theory regards them: all images or conceptions derived from any other theory, or from the confused view of the facts which is anterior to any theory, having entirely disappeared from his mind. The mode of representing facts which results from the theory, has now become, to his faculties, the only natural mode of conceiving them. It is a known truth, that a prolonged habit of arranging phenomena in certain groups, and explaining them by means of certain principles, makes any other arrangement or explanation of these facts be felt as unnatural: and it may at last become as difficult to him to represent the facts to himself in any other mode, as it often was, originally, to represent them in that mode. The objector argues, that the fact of As being a B is true eight times in twelve, and the fact of C’s being a B six times in eight, and consequently six times in those eight; both facts, therefore, are true only six times in every twelve. That is, he concludes that because among As taken indiscriminately only eight out of twelve are Bs and the remaining four are not, it must equally hold that four out of twelve are not Bs when the twelve are taken from the select portion of As which are also Cs. And by this assumption he arrives at the strange result, that there are fewer Bs among things which are both As and Cs than there are among either As or Cs taken indiscriminately; so that a thing which has both chances of being a B, is less likely to be so than if it had only the one chance or only the other. Rob regained consciousness by degrees. He was first aware of the painful jolting of his head, then a dim light penetrated his eyes, and the sensation of suffocation returned. We were about three blocks up from the hotel by then. I said:Its this. The bigger and better a frame is, the more people there are in it. The more chance there is somebody forgetting to do or say the right thing. Now there’s murder, assault, blackmail, and a few other things in this. Maybe coercion. I know for sure there’s another attempted murder in it because I was just about the victim. This beef last night was a frame on me; you know that. Then what? And Ostrander gripped Rob Trentons hand, his eyes smiling and friendly. Sorry you were so darned sick there in Paris. Bees are buzzing in the clover. It is a hot, quiet, lazy afternoon. Maggie has no idea how close she is to treading dangerous ground. She hesitates a moment, and then, tentatively, she says,You know, Annie, have you ever thought about discussing this with someone? Roy could hear Esmonde breathing heavily. Coming closer. Ill look it up, Wallington said, taking his book from the glove compartment of the car. With a capitalT, I think. Im on a spot. I didnt see much of it. Looking carefully around again, Roy rummaged in the pockets of her denim jacket and found two large keys. He checked the womans pulse, carefully, counting the seconds. There was nothing. Thirty seconds, then a full minute, to be sure..
