United States, Philosopher November 11, 1873 – August, 1, 1953.
William Pepperell Montague was a philosopher of the New Realist school. Montague stressed the difference between his philosophical peers as adherents of either "objective" and "critical realism".
Skepticism is not a denial of belief, but rather a denial of rational grounds for belief.
To regard the successful experiences which ensue from a belief as a criterion of its truth is one thing--and a thing that is sometimes bad and sometimes good--but to assume that truth itself consists in the process by which it is verified is a different thing and always bad.
