Rickert deals with part of the pragmatistic position under the head of what he calls 'Relativismus. I cannot discuss his text here. Surely in this field of truth it is the pragmatists and not the rationalists who are the more genuine defenders of the universe's rationality. Lecture VII Pragmatism and Humanism
History repeats itself, and Relativity, like Evolution, after receiving a number of intelligible but somewhat inaccurate popular expositions in its scientific aspect, will be launched on a world-conquering career. We suggest that, by that time, it will probably be called Relativismus.
The first step in their campaign against 'relativismus' is entirely in the air.
His weapons cut the air and strike no blow. No one gets wounded in the war against caricatures of belief and skeletons of opinion of which the German onslaughts upon 'relativismus' consists. Refuse to use the word 'opinion' abstractly, keep it in its real environment, and the withers of pragmatism remain unwrung.
