ABSTRACT
The Harvard pragmatist Clarence Irving Lewis did not write many explicitly metaphysical papers. In fact, he shunned metaphysical theses in the manner of a philosopher drawing heavily from both the traditions of pragmatism and of analytic philosophy. He did not, however, subscribe to the positivistic tenet of eschewing metaphysical discourse all together. Indeed, an intriguing position on the reality of what is experienced can be drawn from his epistemology.
