ABSTRACT
Sceptical reasons for denying Causality rest on such widely held beliefs which approach almost to intuition, but which the author has found to be mistaken, that the following is forced to be a negative statement of the author's case. The author exposes an error which he supposes to be the greatest fallacious premiss in all thought. Existence is a relation, the relation of membership. Membership is the outcome of the relationship between the thing and the world set up by the physicality of the thing. The rule for inclusion in a notion is that the sub-idea be an idea of 'real' things. Membership has it that one must be a thing with the requisite determination. Because of the likeness between the paradoxes and the concepts used in them, we have been able to arrive at the root of the existential fallacy, the indication of which is so necessary to establishing and discovering causality as a valid concept.
