Abstract
The book by C. G. Hempel and P. Oppenheim, Der Typusbegriff im Lichte der neuen Logik (1936)1 renders an important service to scientific practice in all disciplines. It prepares a general ’theory of order’ (but not in the sense in which Driesch understands it), a theory that is a constituent part of the whole future ’grammar of science’ and will orient us with respect to the subject of the logical apparatus necessary for characterising and giving a systematic order to minerals, systems of hypotheses, situations of life, fingerprints, social orders or characters.
