UNLESS A PHILOSOPHY IS TO REMAIN SYMBOLIC – OR VERBAL – OR A SENTIMENTAL INDULGENCE FOR A FEW, OR ELSE MERE ARBITRARY DOGMA, ITS AUDITING OF PAST EXPERIENCE MUST TAKE EFFECT IN CONDUCT (DE MW 338) … THE PRIME FUNCTION OF PHILOSOPHY IS THAT OF RATIONALIZING THE POSSIBILITIES OF EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY COLLECTIVE HUMAN EXPERIENCE (RIP MW 150) THE PROBLEM OF RESTORING INTEGRATION AND COOPERATION BETWEEN MAN’S BELIEFS ABOUT THE WORLD IN WHICH HE LIVES AND HIS BELIEFS ABOUT THE VALUES AND PURPOSES THAT SHOULD DIRECT HIS CONDUCT IS THE DEEPEST PROBLEM OF MODERN LIFE. IT IS THE PROBLEM OF ANY PHILOSOPHY THAT IS NOT ISOLATED FROM THAT LIFE. (QC LW 204)<br>

IT IS ASTONISHING TO SEE HOW MANY PHILOSOPHICAL DISPUTES COLLAPSE INTO INSIGNIFICANCE THE MOMENT YOU SUBJECT THEM TO THIS SIMPLE TEST OF TRACING A CONCRETE CONSEQUENCE. THERE CAN BE NO DIFFERENCE ANYWHERE THAT DOESN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE ELSEWHERE – NO DIFFERENCE IN ABSTRACT TRUTH THAT DOESN’T EXPRESS ITSELF IN A DIFFERENCE IN CONCRETE FACT AND IN CONDUCT CONSEQUENT UPON THAT FACT, IMPOSED ON SOMEBODY, SOMEHOW, SOMEWHERE, AND SOMEWHEN. THE WHOLE FUNCTION OF PHILOSOPHY OUGHT TO BE TO FIND OUT WHAT DEFINITE DIFFERENCE IT WILL MAKE TO YOU AND ME, AT DEFINITE INSTANTS OF OUR LIFE, IF THIS WORLD-FORMULA OR THAT WORLD-FORMULA BE THE TRUE ONE.
