ABSTRACT
Philosophy, I take it, is its own criterion. No experience of life, nor any partial aspect of knowledge, can be more to it than a suggestion or a stimulus. Nevertheless, since experience in the broad sense is all we have, our work as students of philosophy must take its form and colour from what we have most deeply made our own in life; or indeed it might be as true to say that what we have most deeply made our own in life has been selectively determined by the same leanings and impulses which our philosophy has expressed.
