| | Why it's important | The comparative experiment ("the scientific method") is based on the assumption that such relations exist, i.e. that the world has regularities. | | | Why it's important | The comparative experiment ("the scientific method") is based on the assumption that such relations exist, i.e. that the world has regularities. | |
| | How it relates to logic | If causal relations are rules, and the world has regularity, then the world is rules-based. Reasoning is the method of following logic when working with rules. It means we can reason about the world. | | | How it relates to logic | If causal relations are rules, and the world has regularity, then the world is rules-based.
