Subject: Re: [MD] Reductionism
[Krimel]
James is quite clear that concepts arise from and are subservient to
perception. That is what empiricism is, anyway you slice it. He certainly
acknowledges their interrelations but when push comes to shove perception
wins.
Ron:
If he was quite clear about the primacy of percept, then why did he forward
the idea of a radical empiricism to replace it?
[Krimel]
Exactly!
He didn't and it doesn't.
Ron:
If I understand you correctly, you maintain that William James is of the school
of
Hume and Locke as in the reduction of perception to sense data correct? I have
to
say this goes against anything I have ever read on the subject of radical
empiricism
or can dig up online about William James. I'm really trying to see what you
mean,
Can you point me to any resources?
Thnx
