About This Book

A series of philosophical essays develops and defends a position called radical empiricism, which treats experience as the sole proper material for philosophical debate and examines how relations between experiences are themselves part of reality. The author uses case studies and conceptual analysis to argue that knowledge should proceed from particular experiences to broader concepts, distinguishes this stance from but connects it to pragmatism, and explores implications for consciousness, truth, and metaphysical unity versus pluralism. Chapters analyze the status of relations, the notion of pure experience, and methodological consequences for philosophy and psychology, aiming to present a coherent alternative to dogmatic monism.
