Who would start arguing about philosophy at imminent risk to himself and me. But in England as well as in America the improvement at the highest level is equally remarkable. Read, for instance, Gibbon's account of Oxford. With this goes an increase of opportunity. e. inherited wealth) to rise to a position in which he can make the best use of his talents. In this respect there is still much to be done, but there is every reason to expect that in England and in America it will be done. The waste of talent in former times must have been appalling; I shudder to think how many "mute inglorious Miltons" there must have been.
But this kind of objection is swept aside by the contention that a belief may be "true" at one time and "false" at another. " This philosophy derives its inspiration from science in several different ways. Take first its best aspect, as developed by Dewey. " When new phenomena are discovered, for which it no longer "works," it is discarded. A theory-so Dewey concludes-is a tool like another; it enables us to manipulate 80 THE 1M PAC T 0 F S C 1ENe EON S 0 C 1E T Y raw material. Like any other tool, it is judged good or bad by its efficiency in this manipulation, and like any other tool, it is good at one time and bad at another.
