2 Cf. also Mr. Bradley — " The union in all perception of thought with sense — ^this is the one foundation of truth." Appearance and Reality, p. 379.
58 Radical Empiricism essentially discontinuous, and from them we can never obtain continuous being — can never, that is, by means of concepts, attain to the apprehension of a continuous universe. The essential contra- diction here now becomes plain: our knowledge of the " continuous universe " is the result of thought.
This is the Kantian princip...le ; but James has always strenuously maintained that thought — the intel- lectualistic activity which is the sheet-anchor of '^Jiationalism " — is quite incapable of giving us an adequate grasp or"coiitinuity, because its^coircepts are^ themselves discontinuous ; and continuity — this / is the fundamental principle of Radical Emy j5mas«— is^ie_basal characteristic ,.oJ the. uni- verse. Hence arises the dilemma : the " generalised conclusion " which James came to regard as more and more valuable — the conclusion that the uni- verse possesses a continuous structure — is a con- clusion which James's own account of human "thought, as yielding only and essentially discon- tinuities, declares to be quite impossible of attain- ment.
