Author Description

It Was In The Earliest Seventies That A Knot Of Us Young Men In Old Cambridge, Calling Ourselves, Half-ironically, Half-defiantly, 'the Metaphysical Club,'-for Agnosticism Was Then Riding Its High Horse, And Was Frowning Superbly Upon All Metaphysics-used To Meet, Sometimes In My Study, Sometimes In That Of William James.... The Type Of Our Thought Was Decidedly British. I, Alone Of Our Number, Had Come Upon The Threshing-floor Of Philosophy Through The Doorway Of Kant, And Even My Ideas Were Acquiring The English Accent. (cp 5. 12; 1907)-- Provided By Publisher.
