Xiii, 287 + 4 Pp Catalog At End. Green Cloth, Gilt. First Printing, With 1908 Date On Title Page. The Famous Harvard Professor Of The History Of Psychology Addresses The American Character Head-On; The Result Is Not Pretty, But Fortunately There Were Few Witnesses. Per Wikipedia, Josiah Royce (1855 ? 1916) Was An American Pragmatist And Objective Idealist Philosopher And The Founder Of American Idealism. His Philosophical Ideas Included His Joining Of Pragmatism And Idealism, His Philosophy Of Loyalty, And His Defense Of Absolutism. The Years Between 1882 And 1895 Established Royce As One Of The Most Eminent American Philosophers. His Publication In 1885 Of The Religious Aspect Of Philosophy, And In 1892 Of The Spirit Of Modern Philosophy, Both Based On Harvard Lectures, Secured His Place In The Philosophical World. The ?Absolute" Royce Defended Was Quite Different From The Ideas Of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel And F. H. Bradley. Royce's Absolute Is The Ground And Originator Of Community, A Personal, Temporal Being Who Preserves The Past In Its Entirety, Sustains The Full Present By An Act Of Interpretation, And Anticipates Every Possibility In The Future, Infusing These Possibilities With Value As The Ideal Of Community. The Principal Difference Between Royce's Absolute And The Similar Idea Held By Other Thinkers Is Its Temporal And Personal Character, And Its Interpretive Activity. This Divine Activity Royce Increasingly Came To See In Terms Of The Notion Suggested By Charles Sanders Peirce Of ?Agapism?, Or ?Evolutionary Love?. Royce Believed That Human Beings Do Have Experience Of The Absolute In The Irrevocability Of Each And Every Deed We Do. To Confront The Way That Our Acts Cannot Be Undone Is To Meet The Absolute In Its Temporal Necessity. The Philosophical Idea Of The Absolute Is An Inevitable Hypothesis For A Coherent System Of Thought, Royce Argued, But For Practical Purposes And A Meaningful Ethical Life, All Human Beings Need Is An Ongoing "Will To Interpret". The Temporal Ground Of All Acts Of Interpretation Is "The Interpreter Spirit", Which Is Another Name For The Absolute, But A Philosophical Understanding Of Such A Being Is Not Required For Successful Interpretation And Ethical Life. Royce's Essay "A Word For The Times" (1914) Was Quoted In The 1936 State Of The Union Address By Franklin Delano Roosevelt: "The Human Race Now Passes Through One Of Its Great Crises. New Ideas, New Issues ? A New Call For Men To Carry On The Work Of Righteousness, Of Charity, Of Courage, Of Patience, And Of Loyalty. [.] I Studied, I Loved, I Labored, Unsparingly And Hopefully, To Be Worthy Of My Generation." His Dignifying The Very Term "A Race Question" In Inexcusable, It Being A Characteristic Only Of The Conquer-And-Destroy Personality.
