Philosophy blog: small delights and nice insights with fourfolds - tetrachotomies & tetrads. Some, not all. Aristotle's 4 Causes. The 4 conjunctive compounds of affirmative logical quantities for terms. C.S. Peirce for his extensive triads & trichotomies.
About Me
- Name: The Tetrast
- Location: Woodside, New York, United States
I’m Ben UdeIΙ. Quadruplicity drinks procrastination, quoth Bertrand Russell making sense, and the best proof am I. Lifelong layabout layman. EMAIL: baudell@ΑntіѕраΜgmail.com . Delete the “ΑntіѕраΜ” from my email address; it’s there in order to avoid spam. Also, I post at peirce-l and currently am co-manager there and co-manager & webmaster at Arisbe: The Peirce Gateway. I'm not Tetrast in Greece or on Twitter or art websites.

This blog will consist mainly in selections adapted from longer posts in my home blog The Tetrast. My four-folds are generally related to a slightly revised version of Aristotle's Four Causes (four reasons for a thing's being what it is). I disbelieve in numerology and it bores me. No paranormalism, synchronicity claims, etc., here. I call myself “the Tetrast” partly in fun at my inclination to make philosophy on the seemingly threadbare theme of a four-fold pattern. Best viewed in Internet Explorer or Firefox (at least as of my recentest opportunity to compare).

TableAppendix
This post has been backdated from February 17, 2009 to December 4, 2008, in order to keep it from appearing on the home page.
It contains simplified versions (friendlier to users of screen readers) of two tables in the post on Tegmark's Multiverse and the classification of the sciences and maths. The first and smaller table is "Simple & conjoined logical quantities for terms (subject, predicate, etc.)". The second table is "Tetrastic 4×4 classification of the sciences & mathematics".

2. Top of the post on its own page. Go.
3. After the tables on the home page. Go.
4. After the tables on the post's own page. Go. - posted by The Tetrast @ 7:45 PM
