Quote from ‘Harvard Lectures on Pragmatism: Lecture I’

Term: 
Categories
Quote: 

Hegel was quite right in holding that it was the business of this science to bring out and make clear the Categories or fundamental modes. He was also right in holding that these Categories are of two kinds; the Universal Categories all of which apply to everything, and the series of categories consisting of phases of evolution.
