Josiah Royce and William James lived in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
on Irving Street, just two doors apart, and Charles Peirce grew up
only blocks away. John Dewey was born and educated in nearby
Vermont. These four great thinkers shared more than geographic
space; they engaged in a series of formative philosophical
discussions. By tracing the interactions of Royce (1855-1916) with
James, Peirce, and Dewey, Oppenheim "re-imagines pragmatism" in a
way that highlights the late Royce's role as mediator and favors
the "seed-plant" image of O. W. Holmes, Jr., over the corridor
image of Papini. Josiah Royce emphasized that communities of all
sizes-ranging from families to towns-needed "reverence for the
relations of life" not only to thrive but to survive. This theme
permeates the dialectic of Royce's interactions with Peirce, James,
and Dewey. Oppenheim analyzes the agreement and disagreement of
these thinkers on the method and content of philosophy, skepticism
and intelligibility, and nominalism and intentionality, as he
uncovers their varied stances toward transcendent Reality.
Oppenheim repudiates Ralph Barton Perry's tactic of using Royce as
a foil to display James positively, by offering a richer portrait
of Royce. Oppenheim calls attention to Royce's "doctrine of two
levels" and its effects on the distinction of human and
super-human, by showing the contrast of Royce's "third attitude of
will" against two primarily self-centered attitudes of will, and by
examining the roles of Spirit, Community, and semiotic process in
Royce's late thought.
