Abstract
ACCORDING to the author, the initial obstacle to the progress of philosophy is the doctrine that experience cannot give the knowledge of reality—that nothing can be definitely known. This view he demolishes by showing that reality is actually to be found within the field of experience, whence the sensible conclusion is arrived at that “experience is the beginning and end of philosophy.”
