Various
Read by P. J. Taylor
This recording is the second in an ongoing series of collections highlighting foundational articles in early 20th Century American philosophy.
Volume 2 focuses on the debates surrounding the emergence of the so-called 'New Realism.' Inspired by the early works of the American pragmatists, the new realists opposed idealistic and transcendental metaphysics, and advocated for various forms of empirical and scientific naturalism.
