From Speculations:
https://archive.org/stream/speculations031991mbp/speculations031991mbp_djvu.txtIN spite of pretensions to absolute truth,
the results of philosophy are always tested by
the effects, and by the judgments of other
philosophers. There is always an appeal to a
circle of people. The same is true of values in
art, in morals. A man cannot stand alone on
absolute ground, but always appeals to his
fellows.
Therefore it is suggested that there is no
such thing as an absolute truth to be dis-
covered. All general statements about truth,
etc., are in the end only amplifications of
man's appetites.
The ultimate reality is a circle of persons,
i.e. animals who communicate.
There is a kind of gossamer web, woven
between the real things, and by this means
the animals communicate.
