DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Dogmatism and Evolution: Studies in Modern Philosophy The term 'dogmatism' is here used to denote the body of logical assumptions which were generally made by thinkers of all schools, before the rise of theories of social and organic evolution. Its application is therefore wider than common usage would warrant. The empiricism of Berkeley and Hume, as well as the rationalism of Descartes and Leibniz, is included in its scope. The first part of the present work is devoted to the analysis and illustration of the dogmatic principles. In the later parts we have examined some of the philosophies by which dogmatism has, upon one side or another, been assailed: the critical philosophy, absolute idealism, and, at much greater length, pragmatism. It is to an excursion over well-traveled roads that the reader is invited. A glance over the pages will show them to be fairly sprinkled with the great names - Bacon, Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Hegel, Mill, James - while few others are mentioned except in passing. In a history this would be a sore defect. But our object was not history, but the critical analysis of principles; and this required the confinement of the discussion to a comparatively few systems that would be recognized as typical. While these pages were in press, William James passed away. The debt which we, in common with all of the younger American thinkers, owe to him cannot be measured - unless, perhaps, by the very eagerness with which we have upon many points attacked him. With the other leader of the American pragmatists, Professor John Dewey, we stand in a much closer sympathy. We say this here, because the hostile criticism which we have passed upon his theory of immediate empiricism ought not to disguise our direct indebtedness to him upon other lines. To Mr. Schiller no direct reference has been made, but certain of his characteristic positions are noticed in Appendix I.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"Dogmatism and Evolution," a series of studies in modern philosophy, by Dr. Theodore De Laguna, Professor of Philosophy in Bryn Mawr College, and Dr. Grace Andrus De Laguna, merits warm appreciation by readers interested in the deeper problems of thought. "Dogmatism" here signifies all such assumptions as philosophers proceeded upon before the advent of evolutionary theories, as in the empiricism of Berkeley and Hume and in the rationalism of Descartes and Leibnitz. After examining these the authors review some of their assailants, as in the critical philosophy of Kant, the absolute idealism of Hegel, and finally the recent revolt of pragmatism from all its forerunners in the field of reflective thought. To this the larger half of the volume is given in an effort "to exhibit the truth in pragmatism" — which is regarded as mainly on the side of truth—" at least as prominently as what we conceive to be its errors and contradictions." Pragmatism is treated as "the first whole-hearted attempt at an appreciation of the significance of Darwinism for logical theory," but an attempt which, through the pull of conceptions and methods inherited from the dogmatic empiricism of the eighteenth century, has thus far but half succeeded. The transformation in logical and philosophical theories which evolution introduced was summarily recognized last year by Professor Baldwin, of Princeton, in his little book on "Darwin and the Humanities," and in the present volume is for the first time thoroughly exhibited. — The Outlook, Volume 96
