[433] As I have indicated in my Preface, I am certainly the last person in the world to affect to disparage the importance of the thin end of the wedge of Critical Idealism introduced into the English-speaking world by Green and the Cairds, and their first followers (like the writers in the old Seth-Haldane, _Essays on Philosophical Criticism_). Their theory of knowledge, or “epistemology,” was simply everything to the impoverished condition of our philosophy at the time, but, as Bergson points out, it still left many of us [the fault perhaps was our own, to some extent] in the position of “taking” the scientific reading of the world _as so far true_, and of thinking that we had done well in philosophy when we simply partly “transformed” it. The really important thing was to see _with this epistemology_ that the scientific reading of the world is not in any sense initial “fact” for philosophy. INDEX Absolutism, 13, chap. viii.
