摘要: An old dictum in biology asserted that ‘ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny’; is, the embryonic development of individual organism goes through stages its evolution. More recently, has been paraphrased to read ‘ontology philology’; our conception what exists fact is guided by lexicon. generally, language does thinking for us. So it with venerable metaphysical categories Cause and Effect. Since concept cause fixated language, causes events are sought eventually assigned. Moreover, cause-effect relationship typically conceived as an asymmetric one. flow time unidirectional, must precede effects.
