DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Present Philosophical Tendencies a Critical Survey of Naturalism, Idealism Pragmatism and Realism, Together With a Synopsis of the Philosophy of William James, 1921 To avoid any misunderstanding as to the scope of the present book, let me say at the outset that with the cxcep tion of the Appendix, it is a critique, rather than a history. I have attempted not merely to summarize, but to esti mate, present philosophical tendencies; and my criticism is throughout based on the realistic philosophy which I set forth constructively only at the end. Since my method has been critical rather than exposi tory I shall doubtless be charged with having committed the error personae, with having attributed to certain writers views which they would not recognize as their own. Be this as it may, I have in any case formulated the views which I have criticised, so that the merits of the question may always be in the foreground of study. I have assumed it to be more important to discover whether certain current views were true or false than to discuss with painstaking nicety the question Of their attribution.
