"If further egotism be in order. I may say that the account of truth given by Messrs. Sturt and Schiller and by Professor Dewey and his school ... goes beyond any theorizing which I personally had ever indulged in until I read their writings. After reading these, _I feel almost sure that these authors are right in their main contentions_, but the originality is wholly theirs, and I can hardly recognize in my own humble doctrine that concepts are teleological instruments anything considerable enough to warrant my being called, as I have been, the 'father' of so important a movement forward in philosophy".[8] (Italic mine). [8] This paragraph appears as a footnote. "I think that a decided effort at a sympathetic mental play with humanism is the provisional attitude to be recommended to the reader. "_When I find myself playing sympathetically with humanism_, something like what follows is what I end by conceiving it to mean". (Italics mine). Such is the conservative tone in which the article is begun. Yet before it is ended we find these passages: "It seems obvious that the pragmatic account of all this routine of phenomenal knowledge is accurate". (p.468). "The humanism, for instance, which I see and try so hard to defend, is the completest truth attained from my point of view up to date". (p.472). In a supplementary article, "Humanism and Truth Once More", published a few months later in answer to questions prompted by this one, the acceptance of humanism is entirely definite. And here James finds that he has been advocating the doctrine for several years. He says, "I myself put forth on several occasions a radically pragmatist account of knowledge". (Mind, v. 14, p. 196). And again he remarks, "When following Schiller and Dewey, I define the true as that which gives the maximal combination of satisfaction ...". (p.196). THE THEORY OF TRUTH IN 'PRAGMATISM' AND 'THE MEANING OF TRUTH'. In 1907 when he published his book "Pragmatism", James, as we all know, was willing to accept the new theory of truth unreservedly. The hesitating on the margin, the mere interpreting of other's views, are things of the past. From 1907 James' position toward pragmatism as a truth-theory is unequivocal.
