The alterations have been adopted in the present text. This essay is referred to in _A Pluralistic Universe_, p. 280, note 5. ED.] [26] [Cf. Berkeley: _Principles of Human Knowledge_, Introduction; Hume: _An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding_, sect. VII, part II (Selby-Bigge's edition, p. 74); James Mill: _Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind_, ch. VIII; J. S. Mill: _An Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy_, ch. XI, XII; W. K. Clifford: _Lectures and Essays_, pp. 274 ff.] [27] [See "The Experience of Activity," below, pp. 155-189.] [28] The psychology books have of late described the facts here with approximate adequacy. I may refer to the chapters on 'The Stream of Thought' and on the Self in my own _Principles of Psychology_, as well as to S. H. Hodgson's _Metaphysic of Experience_, vol. I, ch. VII and VIII. [29] [See "The Thing and its Relations," below, pp. 92-122.] [30] For brevity's sake I altogether omit mention of the type constituted by knowledge of the truth of general propositions. This type has been thoroughly and, so far as I can see, satisfactorily, elucidated in Dewey's _Studies in Logical Theory_. Such propositions are reducible to the _S_-is-_P_ form; and the 'terminus' that verifies and fulfils is the _SP_ in combination. Of course percepts may be involved in the mediating experiences, or in the 'satisfactoriness' of the _P_ in its new position. [31] [See above, pp. 9-15.] [32] ["On the Function of Cognition," _Mind_, vol. X, 1885, and "The Knowing of Things Together," _Psychological Review_, vol. II, 1895. These articles are reprinted, the former in full, the latter in part, in _The Meaning of Truth_, pp. 1-50. ED.] These articles and their doctrine, unnoticed apparently by any one else, have lately gained favorable comment from Professor Strong. ["A Naturalistic Theory of the Reference of Thought to Reality," _Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Methods_, vol. I, 1904.] Dr. Dickinson S. Miller has independently thought out the same results ["The Meaning of Truth and Error," _Philosophical Review_, vol. II, 1893; "The Confusion of Function and Content in Mental Analysis," _Psychological Review_, vol. II, 1895], which Strong accordingly dubs the James-Miller theory of cognition. [33] [Cf. H. Lotze: _Metaphysik_, Secs. 37-39, 97, 98, 243.] [34] Mr. Bradley, not professing to know his absolute _aliunde_, nevertheless derealizes Experience by alle
