By Schubert Ogden
The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
According to one traditional scheme, there are two "ways," or a "twofold way" (= duplex via) along which scientific activity proceeds:
1. There is the via inventionis (= way of invention or discovery), which proceeds from how things seem to be, from the prius quoad nos to the prius quoad se.
2. There is the via disciplinae (= way of the discipline or exposition and confession), which proceeds from how things are in themselves, from the prius quoad se, to the prius quoad nos.
(cf. The Irish Theological Quarterly, 43, 1 [1976]).
