{"product_id":"2940016378343","title":"Pragmatism ( A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking )","description":"Preface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lectures that follow were delivered at the Lowell Institute in\u003cbr\u003eBoston in November and December, 1906, and in January, 1907, at\u003cbr\u003eColumbia University, in New York. They are printed as delivered,\u003cbr\u003ewithout developments or notes. The pragmatic movement, so-called--I\u003cbr\u003edo not like the name, but apparently it is too late to change it--\u003cbr\u003eseems to have rather suddenly precipitated itself out of the air. A\u003cbr\u003enumber of tendencies that have always existed in philosophy have all\u003cbr\u003eat once become conscious of themselves collectively, and of their\u003cbr\u003ecombined mission; and this has occurred in so many countries, and\u003cbr\u003efrom so many different points of view, that much unconcerted\u003cbr\u003estatement has resulted. I have sought to unify the picture as it\u003cbr\u003epresents itself to my own eyes, dealing in broad strokes, and\u003cbr\u003eavoiding minute controversy. Much futile controversy might have been\u003cbr\u003eavoided, I believe, if our critics had been willing to wait until we\u003cbr\u003egot our message fairly out.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf my lectures interest any reader in the general subject, he will\u003cbr\u003edoubtless wish to read farther. I therefore give him a few\u003cbr\u003ereferences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn America, John Dewey's 'Studies in Logical Theory' are the\u003cbr\u003efoundation. Read also by Dewey the articles in the Philosophical\u003cbr\u003eReview, vol. xv, pp. 113 and 465, in Mind, vol. xv, p. 293, and in\u003cbr\u003ethe Journal of Philosophy, vol. iv, p. 197.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProbably the best statements to begin with however, are F. C. S.\u003cbr\u003eSchiller's in his 'Studies in Humanism,' especially the essays\u003cbr\u003enumbered i, v, vi, vii, xviii and xix. His previous essays and in\u003cbr\u003egeneral the polemic literature of the subject are fully referred to\u003cbr\u003ein his footnotes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, see G. Milhaud: le Rationnel, 1898, and the fine\u003cbr\u003earticles by Le Roy in the Revue de Metaphysique, vols. 7, 8 and 9.\u003cbr\u003eAlso articles by Blondel and de Sailly in the Annales de Philosophie\u003cbr\u003eChretienne, 4me Serie, vols. 2 and 3. Papini announces a book on\u003cbr\u003ePragmatism, in the French language, to be published very soon.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo avoid one misunderstanding at least, let me say that there is no\u003cbr\u003elogical connection between pragmatism, as I understand it, and a\u003cbr\u003edoctrine which I have recently set forth as 'radical empiricism.'\u003cbr\u003eThe latter stands on its own feet. One may entirely reject it and\u003cbr\u003estill be a pragmatist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHarvard University, April, 1907.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081471410416,"sku":"2940016378343","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016378343_p0.jpg?v=1763634736","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016378343","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
