CONTINUITY (Law of)CONTINUITY (Law of).(1) Persistence of movement through successive stages; (2) persistence of being through successive transformations. In the latter reference, now the most familiar, it is the expression of the indestructibility of matter and energy. The law of continuity, though originally applied to continuity of motion, was extended by Charles Bonnet to continuity of being. He held that all the various beings which compose the universe form a descending scale without any chasm or saltus, from the Deity to the simplest forms of unorganised manner. A similar view had been held by Locke and others.
Modern science proclaims the continuity of Law, i.e., that the transition from lower to higher laws is not abrupt, but gradual, the former surviving, as it were, in the latter. |
