ABSTRACT
With the basic features of the proposed mode of formal theory construction (FTC) hopefully in your grasp, we turn to a more detailed treatment of issues/problems, or an introduction of new ones. Even though focused on FTC, this chapter, along with the previous, is a far cry from a complete treatment of the subject, not even if limited to sociology. Various issues/problems will be treated superficially, if at all, and subsequent attempts at clarification are themselves severely constrained by space limitations. Nevertheless, further awareness of issue/problems pertaining to FTC is within reach, and that is our aim. We begin with a subject closely related to the deduction of theorems.
