Work for Philosophers
Three hundred and fifty philosophers, the cream
of the world’s minds supposedly, have just recent
ly finished a week’s meeting at Harvard lpiiversity.
It was “ one of the greatest.internati9ual gatherings
of scholars since the World War,” so the news tells
us. And what happened! Well, they discussed ‘‘The
(Bearing of the Distinction of Judgments of Value,
and Judgments of Existence Upon Logic and Epis
temology,” for instance.
Besides, they were guests of Henry Ford at
Wayside Inn, and they agreed that “ the friend
liness and spirit of good feeling on the part of
all the foreign delegates, and"*the sincerity and
unanimity of their expressions of good will toward
the other nations of the world was one of the
notable aspects of the gathering.”
So reported (no doubt inadequately, for philo
sophers are still rather generally misunderstood)
these great minds of the world s^em to have made
a noise, when they got together, very much the
same as would have been made by a convention of
the cloak and suit business.
And at the same time, in the same newspapers,
was the confident prediction that millions of peo
ple are facing death by starvation in China, just
halfway arouud the small world from Harvard.
Not the starvation of sudden calamity, mind you,
but the slow and steady kind that creeps on, easily
visible in its approach with the help of the econ
omist’s glass of figures and statistics. In 1878
thirteen million Chinese starved to death in, a
similar predicted famine, and in 1920 over a half
million.
+
,
There is no record that the philosophers dis
cussed that. Yet, to the layman, at least, the syste- .
matic starvation of thirteen million men, women
and children, the crushing out of their lives by the
slow march of the economic forces of the world,
in front of'bur very eyes, is an infinitely more im
portant and pressing philosophical problem than
the bearing of the distinction of judgments of value
and judgments of existance upon logic and epis-
tomology.
It is a big world, and little understood—yet.
And there is ample evidence, in the news from tlie
philosophers’ convention and in the news from
China, that no matter how overcrowded may be the
the profession of law and medicine and holy orders,
there is still room for a few million more philoso
phers.
The Mysterious Americano
H. G. Wells in his latest book, speculates upon
the mystery of the Americano. Here is a strange
creature about whom the average European has
hitherto thought it hardly worth his while to mention
but of whose existence he has .become painfully
and disturbingly conscious since the great war caus
ed such a shifting of balances, such a division of in
terests and'such an upset to the normal progress of
the world. Who is this i»erson disclosed by post-war
readjustment as the banker-mortagee of Europe f
The author undertakes to solve the mystery on
the ground of a publicity which distorts him to
Eurojiean eyes: -
“ In Europe a man may have a private life but
in America he I ibr a secret life, lit by sudden shout
ing judgments and flashes of journalists lightning
in which you get an impression vivid enough but
wrong. Things about him that would lie plain here
are invisible there, even to himself, and other things
come out with a kind of stAeam all out of propor
tion by our standards.”
Peraps Mr. Wells is right. And then again,
perhaps the English ignorance of the American
personality is not at all due to any distortion in
its method of expressing itself, but entirely to the
smug self-complacent indifference of the Englishman
to the Americano.
It is hardly open to nrgument that for all our
provincialism, for all our prejudices, for all our
mistaken judgments, America kuows vastly more
about Europe than Europe knows about America.
We have been learning about Europe for many
years while Eurojx* has lieen content to confine her
own interests to things which couccrn her most in-
tunateiy. This pliild of Europe has grown up and
is now as strange a phenomenon to its parent as the
flapper daughter to her old fashioned father.
Today where our newspapers print columns
about European affair^ their newspajjers print para
graphs a bold America. Where we go to Eurojie by
the thousands fcurope sends us an occasional aristro-
crat to see America from a Pullman window.
