Excerpt from The Pragmatic Element in Knowledge And whatever our concepts or meanings may be, there is a truth about them just as absolute and just as definite and certain as in the case of mathematics. In other fields we so seldom try to think in the abstract, or by pure logic, that we do not notice this. But obviously it is just as true. Wherever there is any set of interrelated concepts, there, quite apart from all questions of application or the things we use them of, we have generated a whole complex array of orderly relations or patterns of meaning. And there must be a truth about these - a purely logical truth, in abstracto, and a truth which is certain apart from experience - even though this is only a part of the truth which we want to discover, and the rest of it is of a quite different sort which depends upon experience. Ordinarily we do not separate out this a'priori truth, because ordinarily we do not distinguish the purely logical significance of concepts from the application of words to sensible things. In fact it is only the mathematician who is likely to do this at all. But I should like to indicate that this separation is always possible and that it is important for the understanding of knowledge. To this end, let me use the term 'concept' for this element of purely logical meaning. We can then discriminate the conceptual element in thought as the element which two minds must have in common - not merely may have or do have but absolutely must have in common - when they understand each other. I suppose it is a frequent assumption that we are able to apprehend one another's meanings because our images and sensations are alike. But a little thought will Show that this assumption is very dubious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Truth and Reality: An Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge IT is my hope that this volume may serve a pur pose as an introduction to the theory of knowledge. While we have pretentious works covering the field of logic and epistemology, we are not so well supplied with books giving a general survey of the main problems in volved in the investigation of truth. The time seems peculiarly ripe for such an effort. In the bewildering amount of discussion and misunderstanding to which the pragmatic movement has led, there is need for fresh em phasis of the main issues. There is also need for building out the pragmatic theory in neglected directions. In a small way, this book tries to serve both purposes. This book is intended to be used in connection with a course in elementary logic or as an introduction or sequel to it. It is hoped that its human interest will also make it available for the general philosophic reader and as an introduction to philosophy. To the cultured public, not technically trained in philosophy, the first and the last chapters may be of special interest.

Download The Volitional Element in Knowledge and Belief Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Excerpt from The Volitional Element in Knowledge and Belief: And Other Essays in Philosophy and Religion This does not mean however that Christianity is to dispense with thinking to make clear, first of all, the presuppositions of the Christian sys tem. Dean Grover has done well to point out the fact that all thinking, of whatever sort, pro ceeds upon assumption. Assumption is inevi table, but we must know when we are assuming and when we are reasoning upon what has been assumed. Works like this volume of essays have large value in that they train the mind to see just what assumption is necessary and then to guard the mind against thinking that assumption is reasoning or that reasoning can take the place of or do Without assumption. The one difficulty with present day Pragmatism is that in the hands of many disciples it results in general looseness of intellectual procedure. The lead ers of the pragmatic movement have of course not intended this result. The will to believe is all-essential but the will must be an enlightened one, making its choices rationally and reasoning about them in a logical manner.

Excerpt from The Science of Knowledge The object and general conception of the work, herewith submitted to the American public, is to/ clearly set forth in the Introduction which precedes it to require any additional explanation from me. Suffice it historically to state, that this its object was not achieved in Germany; and that the motive which inspired its translation was the hope that it might be' achieved in America. Whether success would come at once or after many years, I did not choose to speculate upon; but the certainty has always been in my mind, that, sooner or later, the science of knowledge will be taught in every college and university of the land, as the science of all sciences, as the science which will, when once recognized, put a stop to those stale and unprofitable metaphysical specula tions, by indulging in which mankind has wasted time and energies enough to advance true culture beyond the most daring dreams. N ot to encourage metaphysical studies, but henceforth and forever to silence them, and to lead mankind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
