Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book is a 1918 dissertation on the evolution of logical theory by the author, Holly Estil Cunningham. It begins by contrasting different types of logical theory, arguing that only those considering the role of time and experience are legitimate. The author traces the influence of metaphysics on scientific concepts, such as the nature of space and substance. This book is especially valuable for its discussion of the relationship between philosophical and religious systems, and the ways in which they reflect on each other as well as the broader social and political context in which they exist. The book argues that philosophical systems, like scientific theories, are subject to change and progress as society and knowledge evolve.
