The two thinkers who have been brought together as the subject of this volume spring out of what is broadly the same movement of modern thought. Both, on the intellectual side, were adherents of the philosophy called in general experimental. For both alike the whole effort of thought was inspired by a social aim. The difference is that by the younger of the two the experience regarded as the ground of knowledge was supposed to be explicable by impressions on the individual mind whereas the elder had transcended "individualism" in this sense and conceived of knowledge as fundamentally a social product.
