Josiah Royce, Joseph Le Conte and G.H. Howison and Sidney Edward Mezes. The Conception of God: a philosophical discussion concerning the nature of the divine idea as a demonstrable reality.New York: Macmillan, 1897. WJ 477.98
“The second half is a new argument for monistic idealism, an argument based on the possibility of truth and error in knowledge, subtle in itself, and rather lengthily expounded, but seeming to me to be one of the few big original suggestions of recent philosophical writing. I have vainly tried to escape from it. I still suspect it of inconclusiveness, but I frankly confess that I am unable to overthrow it.”--Letter to Carl Stumpf, 6 February 1887 |
