    Nicholas Rescher
  • A System of Pragmatic Idealism: Volume III: Metaphilosophical Inquiries (Princeton University Press, 1994). [Excellent. However, there is no mention of either Broad or Ducasse! And again he fails to mention Broad when he lists the leading exponents of Process Philosophy: "Its leading exponents were Heracleitus, Leibniz, Hegel, Bergson, Peirce, and William James -- and it ultimately moved on to include Whitehead and his school (Charles Hartshorne, Paul Weiss), but also others as Samuel Alexander, C. Lloyd Morgan, Andrew Paul Ushenko, and Wilfrid Sellars." For Sellars, he cites his "Foundations of a Metaphysic of Pure Process," Monist 64 (1987): 3-90. But in this work Sellars expresses his debt to C. D. Broad for a process philosophy! (A.C.)]
