Synopsis
Excerpt from The Doctrine of Degree in Knowledge, Truth, and Reality
That there should be degrees in our experience is necessitated for the same reason. We are finite and conditioned by the character of the organisms in which we ourselves, in our aspects as phenomena of nature and so far in space and time, are expressed. In order to accomplish anything we finite beings have to limit our endeavours and our purposes. We are what we are, and we cannot take in at any one moment all the possible aspects of what we visualize. But, none the less thought is powerful enough to so extend its range as to be able to recognize conceptually in these aspects, not mutually exclusive entities, but legitimate if limited phases of the larger ideal whole towards which it strives. Such a whole abstraction does, for the accomplishment of temporary ends, break up into aspects which it isolates from each other so as to bring about distinctness in conception and pictorial presentation. These aspects no doubt owe much of their mutual exclusiveness to the imagery that is inseparable from sense perception, yet in the end the characters they assume result from the conceptions or categories to which we temporarily abandon reflection, thereby diverting it from all else that is irrelevant to the purposes of our particular attempt at interpretation. Each aspect thus represents a stage in reflection, a degree in experience. Its character is what it derives from the category or general conception by which it is confined and distinguished, and we form our working images accordingly.

The Doctrine of Degree in Knowledge, Truth, and Reality (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between knowledge, truth, and reality, arguing that knowledge is the highest category and foundational to all else. The author examines different philosophical perspectives on the nature of knowledge, including Idealism, Realism, and Mentalism, and critiques the limitations of each. They propose instead a view of knowledge as encompassing all aspects of experience, from immediate perception to abstract thought, and argue that reality is a hierarchy of interconnected degrees of knowledge. The book argues that values and ideals also disclose themselves as foundational in experience and must be explained from the highest as ultimately the real downwards, not from the lower upwards. The author concludes by discussing the significance of these insights for understanding the nature of reality and the human experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
