MODERN哲学在很大程度上受到两个教条的制约。一种是相信在分析的真理和综合的真理之间存在着某种根本的分歧，分析的真理或以独立于事实的意义为基础的真理，或以事实为基础的真理。另一个教条是还原论：相信每一个有意义的陈述都等同于在涉及直接经验的术语上的某种逻辑结构。我认为，这两种教条都没有根据。我们将看到，抛弃它们的一个后果是，思辨形而上学和自然科学之间的所谓界限变得模糊。另一个影响是转向实用主义。
M ODERN empiricism has been conditioned in large part by two dogmas. One is a belief in some fundamental cleavage between truths which are analytic, or grounded in meanings independently of matters of fact, and truth which are synthetic, or grounded in fact. The other dogma is reductionism: the belief that each meaningful statement is equivalent to some logical construct upon terms which refer to immediate experience. Both dogmas, I shall argue, are ill founded. One effect of abandoning them is, as we shall see, a blurring of the supposed boundary between speculative metaphysics and natural science. Another effect is a shift toward pragmatism.
