Excerpt from Pragmatism and the Problem of the Idea
The present volume is the result of studies carried on for some years in an endeavor to show that the most recent Theory of Philosophy known as Pragmatism rests upon an erroneous philosophical basis.
That the ground-work of Pragmatism is a false conception of the idea was fully illustrated by the author in a course of lectures delivered at the Catholic Summer School of America during the Session of 1902. This course is summed up in the chapter of the present work entitled Absolute Pragmatism. A critical analysis of the works published by the leading exponents of Pragmatism has fully confirmed the judgment of the writer.
The plausibility of the arguments advanced, and the fact that in the last analysis God in the Christian sense of the term is excluded from human thought and life make their theory especially dangerous.
The proof that Pragmatism is fundamentally false is based on data taken from the writings of Professor Royce and the late Professor James of Harvard, Professor Dewey of Columbia, Professor Schiller of Oxford and Professor Bergson of the College of France, who are recognized as the leaders of the new philosophy.
