Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Psychological Bulletin, Vol. 1: Containing the Literature Section of the Psychological Review; December 15, 1904
I might go into much greater technical detail, and I might in particular make many a striking quotation. But I prefer to be exceedingly summary, and merely to call the reader's atten tion to the importance of this output of Chicago University. Taking it en gros, what strikes me most in it is the great sense of concrete reality with which it is filled. It seems a promising m'a media between the empiricist and transcendentalist ten dencies of our time. Like empiricism, it is individualistic and phenomenalistic; it places truth in rebus, and not ante rem. It resembles transcendentalism, on the other hand, in making value and fact inseparable, and in standing for continuities and pur poses in things. It employs the genetic method to which both schools are now accustomed. It coincides remarkably with the simultaneous movement in favor of pragmatism' or humanism' set up quite independently at Oxford by Messrs. Schiller and Sturt. It probably has a great future, and is certainly something of which Americans may be proud. Professor Dewey ought to gather into another volume his scattered essays and addresses on psychological and ethical topics, for now that his philosophy is systematically formulated, these throw a needed light.
