Not illustrated. 1912 edition. Excerpt: ... A defense of analysis By Edward Gleason Spaulding I introductobt In this essay I shall attempt both a general and a specific defense of analysis. A general defense might not be exclusively dependent upon a general realistic position; but there are revealed in a defense of analysis as such many reasons which make for the correctness of the realistic position. My specific purpose becomes, then, not simply to defend analysis qua analysis, but also by this means to defend the general realistic interpretation of both whole and part. I shall, then, defend analysis as a method of knowing which discovers entities or parts which are real in quite the same sense as are the wholes which are analyzed. This position may be called Analytical Realism.1 1. The Types of Analysis and of Wholes.--There are two general types of analysis: (1) formal, and (2) experimental or 'material, ' both of which imply a relation of great importance to science and philosophy, namely, the whole-part relation.2 That which is analyzed is a whole. Analysis is the discovery, or, possibly, the invention of parts--the parts of the whole analyzed. Which of these analysis is--discovery or invention, --revelation of fact or falsification--, is in reality the central question at issue. On this point parties divide. But all agree that that which is analyzed is in some sense a whole, and that that to which analysis leads is in some sense a part. 1 The general evidence and proof for the realistic position are presented in the Introduction to this volume. 1 See Perry, this volume, 107, and Russell, B. Principles of Mathematics I, 360 el pansim. 155 By experimental analysis is meant that kind of analysis which is made in the case, for example, of chemical compounds. These are sometimes.
