7052Out of my head?
7052Peculiar? 7052 So I thought, but you said''has n''t he?''
7052That''s the reason you took me to the doctor, I suppose?
7052Then you do n''t believe in the punishment of crime?
7052Think out what?
7052Very much?
7052Well, earache, then?

7052Wo n''t you, perhaps, go to- morrow afternoon, if she is better? 7052 You are going up in our boat, ai n''t you, Longman?"
7052You consent, then?
7052You do?
7052After a pause, during which Henry looked nervously from point to point about the room, he said--"Is he?"
7052And now what penalty would she inflict?
7052And, indeed, what lover might not have taken courage at remembering the sweet pity that shone in her eyes at the revelation of his love- lorn state?
7052Are you vexed about anything?
7052At length she said--"Why did n''t you go after poor George and cheer him up instead of going home with me?
7052But how much of it was a dream?
7052But what sort of a flush is it upon her cheeks?
7052Did she want to avoid him?
7052Did you notice what he said about leaving town?

7052Do you remember that was the day I kissed you first?
7052Ha-- have you got a-- a pattern of a working apron?
7052Harrison?
7052Harrison?"
7052Have n''t you, mother?"
7052He always laughed just so and said"what?"
7052Heidenhoff?"
7052How could I think I would ever marry him?
7052How could Mr. Bradford do it?
7052How do you suppose I can talk quietly?"
7052How soon does identity begin to decay, and when is it gone-- in one year, five years, ten years, twenty years, or how many?
7052How then?
7052I had n''t heard anything about it before, had you?"
7052I remember you came after me?"
7052I wonder if poor George will be at the picnic?"
7052I''ve kept the secret pretty well, have n''t I?
7052Is it only when death touches our bodies that we are called?
7052Is there any such sense of ownership, reaching even to the feeling of identity, as that which the lover has in the one he loves?
7052Is your brother married, may I ask?"
7052Is your mother seriously sick?"
7052It is you, is n''t it?
7052It''s only a headache?"
7052Macbeth''s question,''Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased; pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow; raze out the written troubles of the brain?''
7052Not only had he to ask himself what would become of his life in the event of failure, but what would become of hers?
7052Shall we fix fifty years as the period of a moral statute of limitation, after which punishment shall be deemed barbarous?
7052She looked surprised at seeing him, and exclaimed--"You have n''t come to tell me that the picnic is put off again, or Laura''s sick?"
7052Still holding the door half open, she said--"Henry Burr, what do you want?"
7052Suddenly he said, in a quick, spasmodic way--"Is Madeline married?"
7052The sarcastic humility of his tone made her laugh in spite of herself, and she immediately changed the subject, demanding--"Where is Laura to- night?"
7052Then she appeared to change her mind, and, stopping directly before him, said, in a low voice--"Wo n''t you please leave me alone, after this?
7052Was I sick?"
7052Was it possible that once, long ago, her life had been such an one-- that she could awake mornings and not be afraid of remembering?
7052Was she going out?
7052Was the accident intentional?
7052What do you look so sober for?
7052What do you think the authorities would do?"
7052What do you want with me?"
7052What dreadful thing would you forget now, if you could?
7052What had he been thinking of to risk it?
7052What have I done?"
7052What if she should not forgive him?
7052What is it to a dead person, whose soul is in heaven, who looks at his dead face?
7052What is this fell shadow that has passed upon her face?
7052What shall I do if you do n''t?"
7052What sort of a look is it in her eyes?
7052What''s the matter?"
7052Where will you find a cooler spot?"
7052Why do you come here?"
7052Why do you speak of Mr. Burr to me?"
7052Why had he come?
7052Why is it more curious to cure remorse by a physical act than to cause remorse by a physical act?
7052Wo n''t you play?"
7052Would it seem so to you?
7052Would n''t I really be glad if I could?"
7052Would she not at least respect his grief?
7052Would you jump after it?"
7052Would you like me to have toothache besides?"
7052You''ll take care that they do n''t, wo n''t you, Henry?"
7052could it be?
7052he could not help the thought, and yet what could be more frank and sunshiny than the smile with which she responded to his parting salutation?
7052she answered, smiling,"so long ago as that?
7052was it not hard enough before?"
40794( 1) Do ideas present themselves except in situations which are doubtful and inquired into?
40794( 3) Do they have any part to play in the conduct of inquiry?
40794( 5) And, finally, does validity have anything to do with truth?
40794And how can it discriminate unless by telling by what road they got into our experience and what they do after they get there?
40794And if the worlds are all private, pray who judges their likeness or unlikeness?
40794And is judgment properly more than tentative save as it terminates in a known fact, i.e., a fact present without the intermediary of reflection?
40794And that means what force shall the thing as means be given?
40794And, if the latter, does the object, God as defined, or the notion, or the belief( the acceptance of the notion) effect these consequent values?
40794And, once more, unless there is such a transition, is reasoning possible?
40794Are they there?
40794But how can a situation which is incomplete in fact be completely known until it_ is_ complete?
40794But if the former, why should there be an idea at all, and why should it have to be tested by the fact?
40794But if thought just accepts its material, how can there be any distinctive aim or activity of thought at all?
40794But if we are concerned with a matter of serious analysis, one is bound to ask, Whence come these adjectives?
40794But is smelling a case of knowledge?
40794But they part company when a fundamental question is raised: Is all organized meaning the work of thought?
40794But when thinking becomes research, when the doubt- inquiry function comes to its own, the problem is just: What is the fact?
40794Can a satisfaction dependent on an assumption that an idea is already true be relevant to testing the truth of an idea?
40794Can we"know that objects of sense, or very similar objects, exist at times when we are not perceiving them?
40794Do they exist except when judgment is in suspense?
40794Do they exist side by side with the facts when the facts are themselves known?
40794Do they not all agree in setting up something fixed outside inquiry, supplying both its material and its limit?
40794Do they really indicate fire?
40794Do they serve to direct observation, colligate data, and guide experimentation, or are they otiose?
40794Do they, therefore, already subsist in some realm of subsistence?
40794Does this coequal presence guarantee an objectivity?
40794Does this phase of the moon really mean rain, or does it just happen that the rain- storm comes when the moon has reached this phase?
40794Except on the basis stated, what is the transition from the function of meaning to_ a_ meaning as an entity in reasoning?
40794For example, my primary( and ultimate) judgment has to do, say, with buying a suit of clothes: whether to buy and, if so, what?
40794Has it gained in validity in ceasing to be an independent myth, in becoming an element in systematized myth?
40794Has not the lesson, however, been so well learned that we can drop reference to experience?
40794How about that truth upon which we fall back as guaranteeing the credibility of other statements-- how about our major premise?
40794How about their respective adaptability to the chief wearing use I have in mind?
40794How can a thing be eaten unless it is, in and of itself, a food?
40794How can such a standard be known?
40794How can the former in any sense give a check or test of the value of the latter?
40794How can this difference be explained?
40794How can thought compare meanings with existences?
40794How do their patterns compare?
40794How do we know the same is not the case with the ideas which are the product of our most deliberate and extended scientific inquiry?
40794How does it know which to eliminate as irrelevant and which to confirm as grounded?
40794How does the non- pragmatic view consider that verification takes place?
40794How does thought know which of the combinations are merely coincident and which are merely coherent?
40794How far is it possible and legitimate to extend or generalize the results reached to apply to all propositions of facts?
40794How is it, moreover, that even the act of being aware is describable as"momentary"?
40794How shall it secure this?
40794How shall we describe it?
40794How then can its existence, even if its perception be but momentary, raise a question of"other times"at all?
40794How then can value be given, as efficiency is given, until the end is chosen?
40794How, after all, does even the ideally perfect valid thought apply or refer to reality?
40794How, the implication runs, could reflection become generalized save by elimination of details as irrelevant?
40794If the goodness of consequences arises from the context of the idea in belief rather than from the idea itself, does it have any verifying force?
40794If there are, are they like those characters which books on logic talk about?
40794In the end the one problem holds: How do the specifications of thought as such hold good of reality as such?
40794Is a difference more than merely one of formulation?
40794Is it an absolute which transcends and absorbs the difference?
40794Is it an idea?
40794Is not the distinction mere hair- splitting unless it is a way of smuggling in a quasi- idealistic dependence upon thought?
40794Is or is not a personal factor found in truth evaluations?
40794Is the agreement ultimately a matter of self- consistency of ideas?
40794Is the photograph, then, to be conceived as a psychical somewhat?
40794Is the way out now so simple?
40794Is the_ object_ immediate or is it the object of an immediate noting?
40794Is this to be taken in a static or in a dynamic way?
40794It reads:"What difference would it practically make to anyone if this notion rather than that notion were true?
40794It was hard up against its own dilemma: How can a man inquire?
40794Just how does such agreement differ from success?
40794More generally, what is the position of analytic realism about the future?
40794Not what is the test of thought at large, but what validates and confirms_ this_ thought?
40794Now is this meaning intended to_ replace_ the meaning of a"seeing force which runs things"?
40794Now where does the argument stand?
40794Or does it mean that, irrespective of the existence of any such object, a belief in it has that value?
40794Or does it merely superadd a value to a meaning already fixed?
40794Or is it intended to superadd a pragmatic value and validation to that concept of a seeing force?
40794Or( if the superstition persists as to smell) is gnawing or poking a case of knowledge?
40794Or, in another mode of statement:"Can the existence of anything other than our own[63] hard data be inferred from the existence of those data?"
40794Pray what is this room and what defines the position( standpoint and perspective) of the two men and the standpoint"intermediate"between them?
40794Shall I take it as means to present enjoyment, or as a( negative) condition of future health?
40794Still the query haunts us: Is this so in truth?
40794Supposing the individual stands still and attempts to compare his idea with the reality, with what reality is he to compare it?
40794That is to say: Does it express the fact that a given content or meaning is_ de facto_ presented to the consciousness of all alike?
40794The more specific question is: How does the particular functional situation termed the reflective behave?
40794The question is worth asking: Is not the marked aversion on the part of some philosophers to any reference to psychology a Freudian symptom?
40794The question which I raised in the last paragraph may then be restated in this fashion: Are there such features?
40794The significance of these may be doubted: Do they_ mean_ real change in the sun or in the earth?
40794Then what has become of the postulate that truth is agreement of idea with existence beyond idea?
40794Then, once more, what is the test of any specific judgment?
40794Truth means, as a matter of course, agreement, correspondence, of idea and fact( p. 198), but what do agreement, correspondence, mean?
40794Under these conditions we get such questions as the following: What is the relation of rational thought to crude or unreflective experience?
40794Unless a meaning is an inferred object, detached and fixed as a term capable of independent development, what sort of a ghostly Being is it?
40794Unless there is some such conception as this, what conception of agreement is possible except the experimental or practical one?
40794We have them; they exist; now what do they mean?
40794What about their durability?
40794What are the prices of given suits?
40794What are their styles in respect to current fashion?
40794What are these grounds?
40794What has become of the correspondence of fact and thought?
40794What is the barrier which prevents reason from complete penetration into the world of truth?
40794What is the bearing of this account upon the"empirical datum"?
40794What is the experience in which the survey of both idea and existence is made and their agreement recognized?
40794What is the reason for using the term at all in philosophy?
40794What is the relation of thought to reality?
40794What is the validity of the various forms of thinking which find expression in the various types of judgment and in the various forms of inference?
40794What is the value of the pleasure of eating the lobster as compared with the pains of indigestion?
40794What shall we say of the validity of such processes?
40794What we have to reckon with is not the problem of, How can I think_ überhaupt_?
40794What will I have the situation_ become_ as between alternatives?
40794What_ is_ a thing when it is not yet discovered and yet is tentatively entertained and tested?
40794Whence does it derive its guaranty?
40794Which of the three doctrines is to be regarded as the legitimate exponent of the procedure of thought manifested in modern science?
40794Who are the"we,"and what does"own"mean, and how is ownership established?
40794Why is there a task of transformation?
40794Why so uneven, so partial, in your attitude toward ubiquitous relations?
40794Why, it will be asked, does a man buy a suit of clothes unless that is a value, or at least a proximate means to a further value?
40794but, How shall I think right_ here and now_?
40665Is the correspondence reached between idea and object the precise correspondence that the idea itself intended? 40665 Again must we ask: On what basis is this object in the absolute system selected at all? 40665 And by the time all this is performed what sort of a representation of reality is the idea? 40665 And now, finally, what shall mark the attainment of this purpose of the idea to correspond and representits own completed form"?
40665And what in their operations marks the difference between truth and error?
40665Because there could be other cases of counting, and other numbers counted than the present counting process shows you, and why so?
40665But does not Bosanquet himself point out a pathway which, if followed farther, would reach a more satisfactory view of the realm of knowledge?
40665But granted that this is all true, what has it to do with the origin of the hypothesis?
40665But has this distinction between the content of an experience and its existence solved the problem of how we_ know_ reality?
40665But how can we know that the expression is"fragmentary"unless we have some experience of wholeness?
40665But how did it happen that it did not take the form:"This is not cake"?
40665But how do you prove it?
40665But how does he know that reality is continuous, and that the real world is an organized system?
40665But how is this possible if reality lies without or beyond our act of judging?
40665But if all this is admitted, what becomes of the possibility of knowledge?
40665But if this reconstruction and response were to follow at once, would there be any clearly defined act of judging at all?
40665But if thought just accepts its material, how can there be any distinctive aim or activity of thought at all?
40665But if we do test it, is not such test enough?
40665But is it a question of merest chance which of these various possibilities is actualized?
40665But is this necessary?
40665But just where does our contact with the real occur?
40665But the question to be answered first is: When would such a"statement"occur in the course of our experience?
40665But they part company when a fundamental question is raised: Is all organized meaning the work of thought?
40665But what precisely is the form and seat of the aphasia?
40665But whence comes this restlessness and dissatisfaction?
40665But why should this activity get into a condition to be described as"indefinite restlessness"and dissatisfaction?
40665But why?
40665But, as the first statement of internal meaning implies, how can one have a purpose to sing the melody except in and through the idea?
40665Did he, then, either contribute to the proof of a general law or discover further characteristics of things already known in a more general way?
40665Does this coequal presence guarantee an objectivity?
40665Does this mean that the"idea"is wholly independent of the"image"?
40665Does this phase of the moon really mean rain, or does it just happen that the rain- storm comes when the moon has reached this phase?
40665Has it diagnosed the case properly, and is it therefore one in and through which these activities can operate and come to unity again?
40665Has it gained in validity in ceasing to be an independent myth, in becoming an element in systematized myth?
40665Has it not disarmed itself?
40665How can conceptualism prevent the union?
40665How can one maintain that in a literal and concrete physical sense gold in process of solution is the"same"as gold entering into chemical combination?
40665How can the former in any sense give a check or test of the value of the latter?
40665How can thought compare its own contents with that which is wholly outside itself?
40665How can we ever be sure that the fact which we have discovered will stand the test of further thought- constructions?
40665How do we know the same is not the case with the ideas which are the product of our most deliberate and extended scientific inquiry?
40665How does it know which to eliminate as irrelevant and which to confirm as grounded?
40665How does the real world get representation in experience, and what is the guarantee that the representation, when obtained, is correct?
40665How does thought know which of the combinations are merely coincident and which are merely coherent?
40665How otherwise can we explain, for example, the action of an expert ball- player?
40665How shall it secure this?
40665How shall we describe it?
40665How, after all, does even the ideally perfect valid thought apply or refer to reality?
40665How, the implication runs, could reflection become generalized save by elimination of details as irrelevant?
40665How, then, can it serve as the subject of a judgment?
40665How, then, does it obtain its characteristic of universality?
40665How, then, does this fact of past assignment to uses still recognized as desirable figure in the situation?
40665If it is essential, then how explain the fact that its parts do not fall outside one another in time?
40665If it is not essential, then how explain the evident fact that the judgment as an intellectual process does have duration?
40665If so, what is this something else?
40665If the experiment with the pendulum only substituted exactness for inexactness, did the Copernican theory do anything different in_ kind_?
40665In other words, what does this restlessness mean?
40665In other words, what is the significance of the demand for the particular judgment?
40665In the end the one problem holds: How do the specifications of thought as such hold good of reality as such?
40665In the introduction we have been told, as a matter of description, that the internal meanings do seek the external meaning, but why do they?
40665In the last analysis the problem always is: What is to be done here and now with the actual material at hand, under the present conditions?
40665In what sense, with reference to what, is it incomplete and fragmentary?
40665Is it a general claim which thought_ qua_ thought puts forth, or is it the claim of the content of some particular thought?
40665Is it begging the question to speak of consciousness as exercising a selective function with reference to stimuli?
40665Is the reality we now have the same that we had to begin with?
40665Is this thinking?
40665Is this to be taken in a static or in a dynamic way?
40665Just what are we to understand by this"fragmentary"and"indeterminate"character of the internal meaning?
40665Mr. Bosanquet raises the question: Are there at all ideas which are not symbolic?...
40665Must we not here fall back on something like a pre- established harmony?
40665Must you not just dogmatically say that that world must agree with your negations?
40665Not what is the test of thought at large, but what validates and confirms_ this_ thought?
40665Now, any idea that is affirmed is referred to reality, but do ideas exist which are not being affirmed?
40665Now, at what point does this act begin?
40665Now, how shall we discriminate the ethical and the economic aspects of the situation which we have described?
40665On the other hand, if truth is to be found in the immediate experience, can it here be preserved from the blighting effects of thought?
40665Or, in a word: What is the"jurisdiction"of the economic point of view?
40665Perhaps some one has been startled, and asks:"What is this noise?"
40665So that our question now becomes: What is the significance of this factor of restless, dissatisfied consciousness in activity?
40665Still the query haunts us: Is this so in truth?
40665That is to say, at this point the question is: Does the plan apply to the activities actually involved in the unrest?
40665That is to say: Does it express the fact that a given content or meaning is_ de facto_ presented to the consciousness of all alike?
40665The more specific question is: How does the particular functional situation termed the reflective behave?
40665The purposive character of experience is of course very manifest, but what is the significance of this purposing in experience as a whole?
40665The question remains: Why, if there is no opposition, should there be any uncertainty?
40665The significance of these may be doubted: Do they_ mean_ real change in the sun or in the earth?
40665Under these conditions we get such questions as the following: What is the relation of rational thought to crude or unreflective experience?
40665Under what circumstances, then, are we conscious of stimuli in their capacity of guides or incentives or grounds of conduct?
40665Under what conditions, then, is this suspense and uncertainty possible?
40665We can lay out alternative courses beforehand, but the point of difficulty lies here:"But just which is he?"
40665What alliance, or_ mésalliance_, may they not form, one with the other?
40665What can we mean, then, by calling some of our ideas true and others false?
40665What does this mean save that judgment is developmental, transitive, in effect and purport?
40665What have you, then, but an elementary and primitive type of reflex action?
40665What here becomes of the distinction between immediate and mediating experience?
40665What is meant by"further research shows universally, perhaps, that No A is B"?
40665What is the agent''s apprehension of the matter?
40665What is the barrier which prevents reason from complete penetration into the world of truth?
40665What is the function, then, of the representative image?
40665What is the matter?
40665What is the relation between it and the immediate experience?
40665What is the relation of thought to reality?
40665What is the relative value of each in experience as a whole?
40665What is the significance and basis of universality and necessity as confined merely to the realm of internal meaning?
40665What is the source and the material of the purposes?
40665What is the test of the reality of the bread, and the truth of the judgment?
40665What is the validity of the various forms of thinking which find expression in the various types of judgment and in the various forms of inference?
40665What is their relation to truth and error?
40665What is to be done?
40665What is, however, the ground of distinction between the presented objects?
40665What kind of"research,"internal or external, can show this?
40665What predicate-- so we may formulate their question-- should be given to the subject?
40665What shall we say of the validity of such processes?
40665What then is the nature and source of this apprehension of end or means as valuable?
40665What we have to reckon with is not the problem of, How can I think_ überhaupt_?
40665What, then, in this action already going on is responsible for this restlessness?
40665What, then, is the real difference between hypothesis and expectation?
40665When is the correspondence and representation true?
40665When is this purpose of the idea to correspond with its absolute, final, and completed form fulfilled, or partially fulfilled?
40665When we ask,"What rains?"
40665Why does it seek an object?
40665Why does it want to cross the chasm?
40665Why have we to reckon with it at all?
40665Why is there a task of transformation?
40665Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe?
40665Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us and not the history of theirs?"
40665Why suppose that by distorting reality we get it in shape to affirm_ of_ reality?
40665Why would they not all remain in conflict and continue to check any positive result?
40665Why, then, should there be a demand for the external meaning, for a further object?
40665Why?
40665Will it enable me to support and educate my family?
40665Will it permit me to devote sufficient attention to their present care and training?
40665Will this life of social agitation really be quite"respectable,"and befitting the character of a sober and industrious man?
40665[ 186] But what is it that we"experience within"which makes us call this judgment necessary?
40665[ 198] If at this point one asks: Whence this absolute system of ideas?
40665_ The predicate as hypothesis._--Suppose, then, the hypothesis is a predicate; is the predicate necessarily a hypothesis?
40665but, How shall I think right_ here and now_?
