| Samenvatting: | Why does a dough rise? We might cite the presence of yeast as a reason why and explain the mechanism by which one brings about the other.

Examples of concrete applications in metaphysics, epistemology, logic, and philosophical theology further explain the concept of this philosophical tool. |
