Discover a rigorous, accessible account of causality centered on the idea of the continuant.
This volume examines how cause and effect relate when we focus on what persists through change. It uses clear examples from physics and psychology to show how continuants act as the logical backbone of causation, identity, and change over time and across space. The discussion helps readers see why non-identity is essential to distinguishing cause from effect, and how ideas like immanent and transeunt causality fit into scientific and philosophical reasoning.
- Learn how continuants function as the logical basis for connecting events in time and space.
- See how physical and psychical illustrations illuminate the idea of continuance and change.
- Understand how identity and difference arise in causal relationships without assuming static attributes.
- Explore the limits of substance talk and how modern views separate logical continuants from metaphysical baggage.
Ideal for readers of philosophy and logic who want a clear, methodical look at causation, identity, and the structure of scientific explanation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles of logic and their application to the understanding of reality. The author challenges traditional views of formal logic, arguing that it is not merely a system of abstract rules but a crucial tool for exploring the nature of substance, causality, and the very fabric of our existence. The work positions itself within a long-standing philosophical debate, engaging with the ideas of figures like Hume, Kant, and Mill, and ultimately offering a unique perspective on the relationship between mind and matter. The book grapples with challenging questions about the nature of cause and effect, the interaction between the physical and the mental, and the concept of free will. Through a careful analysis of language, thought, and the structure of scientific inquiry, the author presents a nuanced and compelling argument for a dualistic view of reality, one that acknowledges both the distinct nature of the physical and the psychical, while simultaneously suggesting ways in which they interact. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the foundational principles that underpin our understanding of the world, ultimately challenging us to rethink our assumptions about the relationship between logic and reality.
