About This Book

A systematic examination of pragmatist philosophy that traces its development, affiliations, and characteristic claims while situating it among older rationalist and idealist tendencies. The author analyzes the movement's focus on practical consequences and human activity, offers critical appraisal of its strengths and limits, and treats pragmatism as a humanistic and partly national tendency. Comparative chapters address relations to Anglo-Hegelian rationalism and affinities with Bergsonian thought, and the book proceeds through foundational discussion, applied considerations, and concluding reflections to clarify the aims and implications of the pragmatist standpoint.

Transcriber’s Notes

Inconsistent punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Index references to footnotes link to the pages containing the footnote anchors, not to the footnotes themselves.

Some page links in the Footnotes may be erroneous, as they actually reference other books.
