Excerpt from A Study of the Ethics of Spinoza: Ethica Ordine Geometrico Demonstrata In the desire to avoid needless obscurity I have sometimes passed over the views of well-known commentators in silence, and I hope this omission will not be attributed either to ignorance or to conceit. Wherever it was possible for me to trace a creditor I have acknowledged my debts, and in the appended list of References and Abbrevia tions' I have mentioned those commentaries which have helped me most. In common with all English students of Spinoza, I am greatly indebted to the works of Sir Frederick Pollock, the late Principal Caird, and the late Dr. Martineau; and my obligation does not end where my interpretation differs from theirs. But, so far as I am aware, no English book appeals only to readers who wish to make a special study of Spinoza's philosophy; and I venture to publish this attempt at a critical exposition of the Ethics in the hope that, whatever its shortcomings, it may help to fill a gap. I owe the interpretation of two of Spinoza's geometrical illustrations (below, p. 32 note 2 and p. 223 note 2) to the kind help of my colleague.

(Excerpt from Immediate Experience and Mediation If, in a...)
Excerpt from Immediate Experience and Mediation If, in accordance with custom, I begin this Inaugural Lecture by commemorating my predecessor, I am only too well aware that no words of mine can be adequate to the subject. By all who came within the wide and powerful sweep of his influence, the late Wykeham Professor of Logic, John Cook Wilson, was recognized as one of the great forces in the spiritual life of Oxford; and though he has bequeathed to us the enduring memory of a noble example, we cannot but feel his death as an irreparable loss. It is natural to think of him primarily as the incomparable teacher who, throughout his long career, first as tutor and then as professor, devoted himself, with unflinching energy and with remarkable success, to one of the most difficult tasks in the world - the task of communicating to others his own high sense of the seriousness of philosophy, of fostering in them his own single-hearted devotion to the truth. That this was the aim and spirit of his teaching, all who knew him will agree. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He was educated at Harrow School and Balliol College, Oxford, where he was a pupil of R. L. Nettleship.
A disciple of Francis Herbert Bradley, whose posthumous papers he edited, Joachim is now identified with the later days of the British Idealist movement. He is generally credited with the definitive formulation of the coherence theory of truth, in his book He was also a scholar of Aristotle and Spinoza.
The coherence theory is nowadays viewed as part of a class of theories called robust or inflationary accounts of truth.
In this class, it is a rival to the correspondence and the pragmatist theories. Both Bertrand Russell, arguing for the former, and William James, arguing for the latter, cited Joachim"s text as a paradigm of what they thought was wrong about the coherence theory.
Harold Henry Joachim was born in London, the son of a wool merchant who had come to England as a boy from Hungary. Returning to Oxford in 1894, he was Lecturer at Balliol until becoming a Fellow and Tutor at Merton in 1897.
He became Wykeham Professor of Logic of the University of Oxford from 1919, succeeding the realist John Cook Wilson, and occupied the chair until his death.
Whilst at Oxford he taught the American poet Thomas Stearns Eliot. Joachim was a nephew of the great 19th Century violinist Joseph Joachim, and was himself a talented amateur violinist. ""Truth" and "Falsity", in the only strict sense of the terms, are characteristics of "Propositions".
Every Proposition, in itself and in entire independence of mind, is true or false.
And only Propositions can be true or false. The truth or falsity of a Proposition is, so to say, its flavour, which we must recognize, if we recognize it at all, immediately: much as we appreciate the flavour of a pineapple or the taste of gorgonzola.".
