Excerpt from Some Cardinal Points in Knowledge

Moreover, it is evident from the physical sciences, that the replica is capable of many analyses quite different from those sensations which give us our immediate knowledge of it, though always into constituents which derive their whole meaning from touch and stress sensations (pars. 24-32). [There follow here some remarks on Pragmatism, a doctrine very much in vogue at the present time (pars. 33-8).]
