[MD] Reductionism

[Krimel]

 [Krimel]
James is quite clear that concepts arise from and are subservient to
perception. That is what empiricism is, anyway you slice it. He certainly
acknowledges their interrelations but when push comes to shove perception
wins. 

Ron:
If he was quite clear about the primacy of percept, then why did he forward
the idea of a radical empiricism to replace it?

[Krimel]
Exactly!

He didn't and it doesn't.
