The Will to Believe : and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy It is the relation of the dialectician to the empiricist, and the two varieties of Scepticism are explained by their difference in origin.

A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy From this point, however, he diverges widely from Herbert Spencer and the other English empiricists. George Eliot; a Critical Study of Her Life, Writings & Philosophy I think we must frankly confess that a man may try hard to be an empiricist and may not be wholly successful. An Introduction to Philosophy The empiricist considers thought transformed, sublimated perception, while the rationalist sees in perception only confused and less distinct thought. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time By the modern philosophic empiricist and by his opponent, experience has been looked upon just as a way of knowing. Democracy and Education: an introduction to the philosophy of education Simply and innocently affirmative statements are good enough for empiricists, but unfit for rationalist use, lying open as they do to every accidental contradictor, and exposed to every puff of doubt. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy Skepticism cannot, therefore, be ruled out by any set of thinkers as a possibility against which their conclusions are secure; and no empiricist ought to claim exemption from this universal liability. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature He limits our knowledge to phenomena, to experiences, and he is himself, in so far, an empiricist. An Introduction to Philosophy Rationalists and empiricists alike have been deceived in regard to the necessity for co-operation between the senses and the understanding. History of Modern Philosophy From Nicolas of Cusa to the Present Time This view is held by the empiricists, who hold that nothing is knowable save phenomena. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 As an empiricist you cannot say so, for you have just declared activity to be only a kind of synthetic object, or conjunctive relation experienced between bits of experience already made. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy This is our own empiricist criterion; and this criterion the stoutest insisters on supernatural origin have also been forced to use in the end. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature But in that he finds in experience an order, an arrangement of things, not derived from experience in the usual sense of the word, he is not an empiricist. An Introduction to Philosophy For the empiricists of Aesthetic, intellectualism and moralism represent progress; for the intellectualists, hedonistic and moralistic alike, agnosticism is progress and may be called Kant. Aesthetic as Science of Expression and General Linguistic They were not empiricists, but very practical men. The Constitution of the United States A Brief Study of the Genesis, Formulation and Political Philosophy of the Constitution The empiricists use their logic against the absolute, but refuse to use it against finite experience. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy In the end it had to come to our empiricist criterion: By their fruits ye shall know them, not by their roots. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature Locke, the empiricist, repudiated all this, and then also made assumptions which others could not, and cannot, approve. An Introduction to Philosophy One of the great historic controversies in philosophy is the controversy between the two schools called respectively 'empiricists' and 'rationalists'. The Problems of Philosophy All the empiricists, from Locke onwards, make the observation of the phenomena of the mind itself quite separate from the study of mere sensation. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 3 Advance in thinking, in the hegelian universe, has, in short, to proceed by the apodictic words must be rather than by those inferior hypothetic words may be, which are all that empiricists can use. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy A few remarks in deprecation of such an opinion, and in farther explanation of the empiricist principles which I profess, may therefore appear at this point to be in place. Varieties of Religious Experience, a Study in Human Nature No matter what religion we profess, whether it be Calvinism, or Catholicism, we are individualists, pragmatists, empiricists for ever. A Traveller in War-Time There is another point of great importance, in which the empiricists were in the right as against the rationalists. The Problems of Philosophy He did not seem inclined to pursue the question of an external world, but said that though Mill's "Logic" was very good, empiricists were not bound by all his theories. Life and Letters of Thomas Henry Huxley — Volume 3 The tone of Fechner's empiricist pantheism contrasted with that of the rationalistic sort, 144. A Pluralistic Universe Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy This is what, as a radical empiricist, I say to the charge that the objective reference which is so flagrant a character of our experiences involves a chasm and a mortal leap. Meaning of Truth It is a true claim when the individual rationalist is what is called a man of feeling, and when the individual empiricist prides himself on being hard- headed. Pragmatism In this way he tries to reconcile and harmonize the contentions of the rationalists with the arguments of the empiricists. The Problems of Philosophy Aristotle may be regarded as the bead of the empiricists, and Plato of the noologists. The Critique of Pure Reason He cannot rise to so lofty occasion, but he is a thorough-going empiricist, and he knows, sooner or later, if not gobbled up by the guny, that the flying-fish must return to the water. The Cruise of the Snark Like most great men of action—perhaps like all—she was simply an empiricist. Eminent Victorians In that case the rationalist will usually also be in favor of what is called free-will, and the empiricist will be a fatalist— I use the terms most popularly current. Pragmatism But a philosophy that breathes out nothing but refinement will never satisfy the empiricist temper of mind. Pragmatism Such is the reaction of an empiricist mind upon the rationalist bill of fare. Pragmatism To say the least, Captain Cook was a rather thorough-going empiricist. The Cruise of the Snark It means the right kind of thing for the empiricist mind. Pragmatism The rationalist finally will be of dogmatic temper in his affirmations, while the empiricist may be more sceptical and open to discussion. Pragmatism That means the empiricist temper regnant, and the rationalist temper sincerely given up. Pragmatism The difference is that the empiricists are less dazzled. Pragmatism The whole clash of rationalistic and empiricist religion is thus over the validity of possibility. Pragmatism Behind the bare phenomenal facts, as my tough-minded old friend Chauncey Wright, the great Harvard empiricist of my youth, used to say, there is NOTHING. Pragmatism Never were as many men of a decidedly empiricist proclivity in existence as there are at the present day. Pragmatism |
