_The_Meaning_of_Truth_, pp. 121-135. The author's corrections have been
adopted for the present text. ED.]

N.S., vol. XIV, No. 53, January, 1905: "'Absolute' and 'Relative'
Truth," H.H.Joachim; "Professor James on 'Humanism and Truth,'"
H.W.B.Joseph; "Applied Axioms," A. Sidgwick. Of these articles the
second and third "continue the humanistic (or pragmatistic)
controversy," the first "deeply connects with it." ED.]
3 Professor Baldwin, for example. His address 'On Selective
Thinking' (_Psychological_Review_, [vol. V], 1898, reprinted in his
volume, _Development_and_Evolution) seems to me an unusually
well-written pragmatic manifesto. Nevertheless in 'The Limits of
Pragmatism' (ibid., [vol. XI], 1904), he (much less clearly) joins in
the attack.

If humanism really be the name for such
a shifting of perspective, it is obvious that
the whole scene of the philosophic stage will
change in some degree if humanism prevails.
The emphasis of things, their foreground and
background distribution, their sizes and values,
will not keep just the same.
