THE PROBLEM OF RECOGNITION. By H. WILDON CARR. THE study of the problem of Recognition which I now offer to the Aristotelian Society on this second occasion on which I am honoured with the duty of delivering a Presidential Address, I was led to undertake by the Symposium on "The Implications of Recognition" in our last Session.* Philosophical problems have a way of beginning with something apparently simple and easy and leading one on until one is lost in the general problem of metaphysical reality. That at least is a common experience with me, and I find this no exception to the rule. It has led me further than I expected when I contributed to the Symposium, and further than I expected when I went on thinking about it. In this address I wish to deal with two questions. In the first place I wish to inquire into the nature of the modification of a cognition which constitutes it a recognition. This is the problem of recognition, so far as its source is within the individual's experience. In the second place I wish to inquire "The Implications of Recognition," a Symposium, by Miss Beatrice Edgell, Mr. F. E. Bartlett, Mr. G. E. Moore and Mr. H. W. Carr (Proc. Arist. Soc., 1915-16, p. 179). A |
