Notes

Concluding statement by Clark:
"At the same time and in addition to these points, there is as well the all-pervasive irrationalism of a universal flux that not only denies permanent values but sweeps away even the law of contradiction. The reader is left with a choice, a choice between unintelligibility and fixed principles. If thought has meaning, then there are eternal truths; and while a monograph on Dewey is not the place to expound it, eternal truths require an Eternal Mind whose thinking makes them so."
