conditioned.Philosophy moves by zigzags within frames of assumptions,
some problem, some novel method, some emphasis, gaining attention. I am still persuaded that the American realistic movement
has been a significant one just because it has posed basic questions.
The reader of this essay will, I hope, weigh in his mind the cogency of the answers given. If I have emphasized my own perspective that was because I have lived with it a very long time, always seeking to clarify it. And so here is my account, in outline,
of the natitre and conditions of human knowing. ROY WOOD SELLARSSUGGESTED READINGS
