to the solution of the well known "prob lem of infinite regress. "
The investigation of the principle in question will be divided into
two Parts. A preliminary examination of the function of the
principle will be made in Part I: Domains Other Than That of
Creature-God. The domains to be considered in this Part are those
of accident-substance, change, and knowledge. Employing what is
learned of the function of the principle in these areas of
application, Part II: The Domain of Creature-God will analyze the
role of the principle in the proofs for God's existence. This
latter Part will constitute the greater portion of the book, since
the domain of creatures in their relation to God is the most
