Cessante causa, cessat effectus
(when the cause ceases, the effect ceases) is applicable for every existing type of social pathology. In
Project for a Scientific Sociology
, Joan Casser provides an operational overview of inter-individual behavior. He develops the research of Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, Russian neurologist Ivan Pavlov, Swiss psychiatrist Eugen Bleuler,
et al.,
as a means to examine
energy transference
in society. Prediction, motion, operant conditioning, crime, punishment, security, and law-governed behavior are reviewed socio-logically. Casser commences with worked matter and ends with the state in this causal configuration of inter-individual behavior.
