Quote from ‘Pragmatism’

Term: 
Theoric Transformation
Quote: 

It is not quite so true as Kant thought it to be that deduction is purely explicative; but the amplificative element that a certain kind of deduction, called theo’ric transformation, affords, consists, after all, only in new forms of conceiving old facts.
