criticism in his pupils, by insisting on the See also:

psychology as opposed to the older metaphysical method, and not least by his recognition of the importance of See also:

German philosophy, especially that of See also:

Kant . By far his most important work was his "Philosophy of the Unconditioned," the development of the principle that for the human finite mind there can be no knowledge of the See also:

Infinite . The basis of his whole See also:

condition." Deeply impressed with Kant's See also:

faculty of See also:

• THEOLOGY

theology . It is a weakness characteristic of the human mind that it cannot conceive any phenomenon without a beginning: hence the conception of the causal relation, according to which every phenomenon has its cause in preceding phenomena, and its effect in subsequent phenomena . The causal concept is, therefore, only one of the See also:

• ORDINARY (med. Lat. ordinarius, Fr. ordinaire)

ordinary necessary forms of the cognitive consciousness limited, as we have seen, by being confined to that which is relative or conditioned . As regards the problem of the nature of objectivity, Hamilton simply accepts the See also:

evidence of consciousness as to the See also:

• SEPARATE

separate existence of the object: " the See also:

• ACADEMIC

academic sphere of See also:

• MENTAL

mental training . The transition from philosophy to theology, i.e. to the sphere of faith, is presented by Hamilton under the analogous relation between the mind and the See also:

• BODY

body .

As the mind is to the body, so is the unconditioned Absolute or See also:

• GOD

God to the world of the conditioned . Consciousness, itself a conditioned phenomenon, must derive from or depend on some different thing See also:

• PRIOR (from Lat. prior—former, and hence superior, through O. Fr. priour)
• PRIOR, MATTHEW (1664-1721)

prior to or behind material phenomena . Curiously enough, however, Hamilton does not explain how it comes about that God, who in the terms of the See also:

• ANALOGY (Gr. avaXo-yLa, proportion)

analogy bears to the See also:

• CON

con-,ditioned mind the relation which the conditioned mind bears to itsobjects, can Himself be unconditioned . He can be regarded only as related to consciousness, and in so far is, therefore, not absolute or unconditioned . Thus the very principles of Hamilton's philosophy are apparently violated in his theological argument . Hamilton regarded logic as a purely formal science; it seemed to him an unscientific mixing together of heterogeneous elements to treat as parts of the same science the formal and the material conditions of knowledge . He was quite ready to allow that on this view logic cannot be used as a means of discovering or guaranteeing facts, even the most general, and expressly asserted that it has to do, not with the See also:

• OBJECTIVE, or OBJECT GLASS

objective validity, but only with the mutual relations, of judgments . He further held that See also:

• INDUCTION (from Lat. inducere, to lead into; cf. Gr. ilrayu yli)

induction and See also:

• DEDUCTION (from Lat. deducere, to take or lead from or out of, derive)

deduction are correlative processes of formal logic, each resting on the necessities of thought and deriving thence its several See also:

laws . The only logical laws which he recognized were the three axioms of identity, non-See also:

• EXPRESS (through the French from the past participle of the Lat. exprimere, to press out, by transference used of representing objects in painting or sculpture, or of thoughts, &c. in words)

express logically . He added as a postulate—which in his theory was of importance—" that logic be allowed to See also:

• STATE

state explicitly what is thought implicitly." In logic, Hamilton is known chiefly as the inventor of the See also:

• DOCTRINE

doctrine of the " quantification of the predicate," i.e. that the See also:

• JUDGMENT

judgment " All A is B " should really mean " All A is all B," whereas the ordinary universal proposition should be stated " All A is some B." This view, which was supported by See also:

• FAULT (Mid. Eng. faute, through the French, from the popular Latin use of fallere, to fail; the originallof the Latin being replaced in English in the 15th century)

fault since it implies that the predicate is thought of in its ex-tension; in point of fact when a judgment is made, e.g. about men, that they are mortal (" All men are mortal "), the intention is to attribute a quality (i.e. the predicate is used in See also:
