| Summary: | The present book is a natural outgrowth of Rescher's longstanding preoccupation with the rational systematization of our knowledge as manifested in such earlier works as Cognitive Systematization , and Complexity . Accordingly, the role of principles in human affairs is crucial and ubiquitous. Principology, the theory of principles--underdeveloped through it may be--is accordingly bound to find a significant place in the sphere of philosophical inquiry regarding matters of thought and action.</p> |
