Well here you're dabbling in my area of interest where Royce argues against
Jame's position by asserting that humans are never possessed of either pure
perception or pure conception; our knowledge is always an imperfect union of
the two.    Pragmatism presupposes not some synthesis  but an
interpretation.  Like all life.
