To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Habit and thought are thus constituent poles (func- tions) of experience (of self-activity). As such neither can be regarded as an ultimate (or prius) out of which the other is evolved. ' The radical misapprehension of the prag- matist's view of evolution is due apparently (i) to the critics having overlooked the fact that the pragmatist's conception of evolution differs in some rather important respects from that of Herbert Spencer, vv^hich is evidently the one from which the criticisms are ma...de. For the pragmatist, thought is not a "product" but an organic factor in the process of evolu- tion. (2) The misinterpretation is further due to the fact that the critics have mistaken descriptions of the "conditions and antecedents" of particular acts of thought for accounts of the absolute origin of thought, and statements of 'The writer's Existence, Meaning, and Reality, 16-17. I PRAGMATISM AND ITS CRITICS 163 the antecedents of reflective thought for ante- cedents of all thought. Thus, the descriptions of the "conditions and antecedents" of thought, as contained in the first two chapters of the Studies in Logical Theory, are simply state- ments of the conditions under which the reflective function operates, or rather, in which experience passes into the reflective form, since the function of reflection exists only as it operates.
