"In his last unfinished work, Some Problems of Philoso­phy, James had condensed 
this description to a single sen­tence: “There must always be a discrepancy 
between concepts and reality, because the former are static and discontinuous 
while the latter is dynamic and flowing.” Here James had chosen exactly the 
same words Phaedrus had used for the basic subdivision of the Metaphysics of 
Quality.
What the Metaphysics of Quality adds to James’s pragmatism and his radical 
empiricism is the idea that the primal reality from which subjects and objects 
spring is value. By doing so it seems to unite pragmatism and radi­cal 
empiricism into a single fabric."
