New Realism: Cooperative Studies In Philosophy (1912)

The New Realism: Cooperative Studies in Philosophy is a book written by Edwin Bissell Holt and published in 1912. The book is a collection of essays written by a group of philosophers who were collectively referred to as the ""New Realists."" The essays explore the concept of realism in philosophy, which is the belief that the external world exists independently of our perception of it.The New Realists sought to move away from the idealism that dominated philosophy at the time, which held that the external world was a product of our consciousness. They argued that our perception of the world is not subjective, but rather is based on objective facts that exist independently of our minds. The essays in the book explore various aspects of this philosophy, including its implications for epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics.The book is divided into three sections. The first section provides an overview of the New Realist philosophy and its historical context. The second section explores the implications of this philosophy for various areas of philosophy, including perception, knowledge, and causation. The third section examines the ethical implications of the New Realist philosophy, including its implications for social and political philosophy.Overall, The New Realism: Cooperative Studies in Philosophy is an important work in the history of philosophy, as it helped to shape the development of American philosophy in the early 20th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of realism, epistemology, and ethics.Also Authored By Ralph Barton Perry, Walter B.
