Description
Excerpt from The New Idealism
What is the exact position of Idealism at the present day? What is likely to be its position in the future? How is it going to emerge, if it emerges at all, from its encounter with the New Realism? There is no denying that the New Realism has made a prodigious disturb ance in philosophic thought, a disturbance so vital and far-reaching that philosophic thought will never look the same again.
The idealist is fatuously sanguine if he expects his own pet system to come up out of the turmoil looking just the same. Never before has there been such a ruthless exposure of the weak points in his position. At the present moment it seems fairly Safe to say that the Old Idealism, I mean the Idealism of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, of Berkeley, of Kant and Hegel, of the new-kantians and new-hegelians, all the old logic and epistemology (horrible word) will have to go and give place to an idealism which will take serious account of the world of space and time.
