About
Tractatus de Philosophia et Psychologia is a systematic philosophical work composed of a series of rigorously structured treatises addressing core problems in epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, logic, and philosophical psychology. Written in a formal, axiomatic style reminiscent of Wittgenstein's Tractatus, the book advances a unified account of knowledge, causation, explanation, meaning, and mental phenomena grounded in the concept of structural continuity and information transmission.
Across its constituent tractates, the work develops original analyses of truth, belief, justification, inference, natural law, causation, counterfactuals, induction, and explanation, while offering sustained critiques of pragmatism, Humean regularity theories, counterfactual analyses of causation, possible-worlds semantics, intentionalism, and the deductive-nomological model of scientific explanation. Special attention is given to the distinction between objectual and propositional awareness, the nature of theoretical knowledge, the limits of observation, and the foundations of scientific and psychological explanation.The volume also extends philosophical analysis into applied domains, including constitutional interpretation, religious belief, free will, determinism, psychopathology, addiction, and clinical psychology, treating these topics with the same formal rigor as its treatments of logic and metaphysics. Throughout, the book argues that explanation is prior to law, causation is grounded in continuity rather than regularity, and knowledge consists in conceptually articulated awareness rooted in genuine information-transmissive relations to reality. Intended for advanced readers in philosophy, cognitive science, and theoretical psychology, Tractatus de Philosophia et Psychologia presents a comprehensive, tightly argued system that challenges several dominant orthodoxies while proposing a unified alternative framework.
