Experience and nature : the Paul Carus lectures, first series, 1925

"The title of this volume, Experience and nature, is intended to signify that the philosophy here presented may be termed either empirical naturalism or naturalistic empiricism, or, taking "experience" in its usual signification, naturalistic humanism. I believe that the method of empirical naturalism presented in this volume provides the way, and the only way by which one can freely accept the standpoint and conclusions of modern science: the way by which we can be genuinely naturalistic and yet maintain cherished values, provided they are critically clarified and reinforced. The naturalistic method, when it is consistently followed, destroys many things once cherished; but it destroys them by revealing their inconsistency with the nature of things--a flaw that always attended them and deprived them of efficacy for aught save emotional consolation. But its main purport is not destructive; empirical naturalism is rather a winnowing fan. Only chaff goes, though perhaps the chaff had once been treasured. An empirical method which remains true to nature does not "save"; it is not an insurance device nor a mechanical antiseptic. But it inspires the mind with courage and vitality to create new ideals and values in the face of the perplexities of a new world." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).

  • "Sans doute la synthèse parfaite de la pensée de Dewey qui, ici, se libère du pragmatisme. " Qu'entend-on par expérience ? " - à la lumière d'une praxis repensée, il répond à la question, limite les prérogatives de la philosophie et ouvre un champ illimité à la raison critique. Ce texte fondamental reste fidèle à un objectif de lisibilité chez l'auteur et son traducteur."
