This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

About the Book
Philosophy is the study of problems concerning matters as fundamental as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Pythagoras (c. 570–495 BC) is said to have coined the term. Philosophical methods were applied through questioning, critical discussion, rational arguments, and systematic presentations on questions like "Is it possible to know anything and to prove it?" Major areas in academic philosophy include metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, aesthetics, political philosophy, logic, philosophy of science, and the history of Western philosophy.

Addison Webster Moore was an American philosopher.
Background
Addison Webster Moore was born on 30 July 1866, at Plainfield, Indiana. He was the son of John Sheldon and Adaline (Hockett) Moore. His paternal ancestors came from Virginia by way of Kentucky. His father, an ardent Abolitionist, served throughout the Civil War. On his mother's side, he came from a family of Quakers who emigrated from North Carolina to Indiana because of the slavery issue.
Education
Addison attended the Plainfield Academy near his home, then taught school, and at twenty years of age entered the neighboring De Pauw University, from which he received the degree of A. B. in 1890. In 1893, he entered the graduate school of Cornell University as a candidate for the degree of Ph. D. At the end of the academic year 1893-94, he was attracted to the University of Chicago by the philosophy and personality of John Dewey. From that date until his retirement as professor emeritus in 1929, his connection with the Chicago School of Philosophy, as a student or teacher, was unbroken and influential. He was granted the degree of Ph. D. in 1898 and in 1901-02, he studied in Berlin.
Career
Moore was methodically trained in the history of philosophical ideas and problems. His interest in historical scholarship was kept fresh during his entire teaching career. It proved to be one of the most valuable parts of his generous equipment for the guidance and instruction of a long line of graduate students. He had little sympathy with the doctrines of absolute idealism which the Cornell School had derived from Kant and the neo-Hegelians, particularly through the mediation of Bosanquet and Bradley.
His contribution to Studies in Logical Theory, edited by Dewey and published in 1903, was somewhat tentative and obscure, but in 1910 he published the most complete statement of his views in Pragmatism and its Critics. The volume is primarily a work of exposition and defense, although it contains instructive chapters on the historical backgrounds of absolute idealism and pragmatism. The first chapter of this work, "The Issue, " rings out a challenge, and as the challenger, he stood for two decades, lance in hand, in the front rank of pragmatists. Although nearly all of his writings and addresses are controversial in character, few authors have illustrated more happily the amenities of polemical discourse.
Moore died in London following a stroke of paralysis; he had just completed an automobile tour of six thousand miles on the continent of Europe.

Views
Moore was temperamentally and by bias of early education interested chiefly in the problems of will and of society, in a philosophy adjustable to the flux of action and purpose. A system of rigid and static reality was, in his opinion, useless for an empirical world of evolution. He rejected, therefore, absolute idealism in all of its forms and allied himself wholeheartedly with the Chicago school of instrumental pragmatism, of which Dewey was the creator and Moore the principal apologete. He believed that truth is identified with ideas that work, that solve our problems, that fit into the purposiveness of empirical processes. In his assumption that both fact and idea have their only being and meaning when they are applied to desiring and willing, to believing and working, that is, to human life, his philosophy was a form of Humanism. This accounts for his indifference to the ordinary problems of epistemology and metaphysics.
Quotations:
"Sometimes duplicity and treason are markers of the enemy, and sometimes, the failed intention of a masterful ally. But, nevertheless, as they burden you with a vexing brand of love, they become nothing more than the kiss of Judas, pressing a crown of thorns into your flesh. "
"You didn't happen to see your future mother-in-law at that meeting today, did you?" May as well milk the effort. "Yes, the hormonal carp was present. " "Marshall!" "She blew me a new one, as you would say. ""She ripped you a new one, " I correct. "The word blow has an entirely different meaning. I suggest you remove it from your lexicon. "
"Revenge in the hands of your enemies is a loaded gun. You can beg them for mercy, wave the white flag of surrender, but the only true elixir for the vitriol they bestow is a measure of hatred dispensed of your own. "
Connections
On September 1, 1891, Moore was married to Ella E. Adams whom he had known at the University.
