Excerpt from Jean-Jacques Rousseau a Forerunner of Pragmatism

In a book written by the author of this pamphlet, mention is made of Rousseau in the following terms: "The greatest pragmatist of all times was - and probably will remain - J.-J. Rousseau" (cf. Anti-Pragmatisme, pp. 162-168). This affirmation was well worth the fuller development given it in the following pages. It deserved it not only because pragmatism happens to be now a timely topic of discussion, but because an examination of the pragmatic principles contained in Rousseau leads us to the very heart of his entire philosophy. There you get the key, both to the Utopian loftiness of his moral ideals, and to his hopeless inconsistencies; both to the great influence of his social doctrines even to our own days, and to the stubborn resistance opposed to his principles by the consistently intellectual minds of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

A few references are made to the French edition of Anti-Prag-matisme (Paris, Alcan, 1909), of which an English edition will soon appear.
