ABSTRACT

 1. So far we have seen our axioms applied to show that, if we are going to draw inferences at all, we must draw universal inferences. But can we go beyond this? Can we so apply the axioms as to show what are the universal inferences to be drawn? And in doing so, do we need nothing more than those activities of attention, construction, memory, and analysis of which we have already taken account? Can we, in short, from the observed facts that are here and now, or were there and then, arrive, by the application of our axioms, at truths holding universally for all time and space?
