APPENDIX.


ON SOME POINTS IN THE METAPHYSIC AND LOGIC OF "THE NEW REALISM."


I.

Metaphysic and Epistemology.

Since, by the courtesy of the Publications Committee, I am permitted to subjoin an Appendix to my Lecture, I feel that I ought to say a word in explanation of the footnote on p. 11.

As I hope the Lecture has shown, I sympathise strongly in many respects with the New Realism. More particularly I welcome the criticism of "the crude brickbat notion of physical object,"[1] and what I hope will prove to be the rectification of some current views of implication[2]; and, of course, the points in which the authors seem at one with Professor Alexander. And I can see that they are at home in regions of science which I cannot enter.
