5 PREFACE When I first became acquainted with the thought of the American philosopher Josiah Royce, two factors particularly intrigued me. The first was Royce's claim that the notion of community was his main metaphysical tenet; the second was his close association with the two American pragmatists, Charles Sanders Peirce and William James. Regarding the first factor, I was struck by the fact that a philosopher who died in 1916 should emphasize a topic of such contemporary significance not only in philosophy but in so many other vital fields as well (sociology, psychology, politics, theology - to name only a few). Regarding the second, I was curious as to whether the pragmatism of Peirce and James might have influenced Royce during the course of their professional and personal contacts. Similarly, I wondered whether the idealism of Royce might have affected the thought of Peirce and James. To have appeased my curiosity in regard to all three thinkers, however, would have required (at least) three books. As a start I have now appeased it in regard to one. In researching the writings of Royce I found my way to the Houghton Library and to the Archives of Harvard University at Cambridge, Massachusetts, where the unpublished manuscripts of Royce are preserved. (No editing job has yet been done on this bulk of material, though such would certainly be a welcome contribution to American philosophy.) Since Volumes 1 through 52 are for the most part the manuscripts of Royce's published books and articles, my time at Harvard was spent mostly on Volumes 53 through 98. While I found no startling divergence from Royce's published positions in the unpublished material, I was able, by researching the latter, to discover certain texts more suited to the purpose of this study. On one point in particular (the social aspect ofthe knowing process), I found a great deal more material in the unpublished writings than in the published works. On the whole, the access to both published and unpublished sources lent more cogency to basic evaluations of the thought of Royce.

6 VI PREFACE In pursuing the topic which titles and subtitles this work I have also explored Royce's notion of community to the extent of having become greatly appreciative of the contemporary relevance of his philosophy. As a result, the present resurgence of interest in the works of Royce seems more than justified. I delight that some of the vital insights of this American thinker are being shared today to a greater extent than ever before. My hope is that they be shared throughout our country and our world not only theoretically but practically as well.

7 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My sincere thanks to the philosophy faculty of Marquette University, particularly Dr. Beatrice Zedler, Dr. Paul Byrne and Dr. Joseph O'Malley, for their interest and assistance in preparing this work. I am also indebted to Dr. John McDermott of Queens College of the City University of New York and to Rev. Frank Oppenheim, S.J., of Xavier University for their sharing of ideas in regard to the project. Finally, I am deeply grateful to many unnamed friends whose encouragement "energized" me throughout the undertaking.
