90 The Higher Usefulness of Science 



by scientific philosophy, reference is made to the gen- 

 eral thought movement known as pragmatism, leader- 

 ship in which is universally accorded to William James 

 and John Dewey. 



But having said this much I can not pass the sub- 

 ject without remarking that according to my view this 

 new philosophic movement can never reach full clarity 

 and operative force in human affairs until supple- 

 mented from the side of science itself, that supplemen- 

 tation to come from what I have called, taking a cue 

 from William Whewell, the natural history method of 

 philosophizing. Something of what this method implies 

 is shown in the fourth essay of this volume.
