"What the Metaphysics of Quality adds to James' 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. Value, the
pragmatic test of truth, is also the primary empirical experience.
The Metaphysics of Quality says pure experience is value. Experience
which is not valued is not experienced. The two are the same. This is
where value fits. Value is not at the tail-end of a series of
superficial scientific deductions that puts it somewhere in a
mysterious undetermined location in the cortex of the brain. Value is
at the very front of the empirical procession."
(LILA, Chapter 29)
