The logically prior science within the theorematical sciences is nomology, the object of which is the notion of law. |
Nowadays, hardly anybody claims to be a nomologist actively doing nomology. |
So-called nomology has passed from the intellectual scene, and I do not mean to revive it. |
An analytic nomology of legal laws would, I suppose, sift properties of laws generally to discover common distinguishing features. |
A central claim of nomology is that adjusting, convincing, and committing comprehensively describe the three dimensions of how the mind structures decisions. |
The singularity of this nomology can be seen if we compare it to the absolute model of the genre, the nomology of Plato's Republic.
