ABSTRACT
The New Realism is not a historically rounded movement as the New Idealism is, or as, in a certain sense, Pragmatism is. It is still in course of change; it still includes a possibility of progressive development; its range of problems is still open in all directions. It is the philosophy of the present, and as far as can be foreseen it will still dominate future development, or at least play a leading part in it. The time has not yet come, therefore, to write its history. One can do no more than delimit the field of intellectual life which it has conquered, and characterize and label its most important successes.
