Abstract

Living Philosophies. XII. Seven True Stories
Chase, Stuart | April 1, 1939 issue

add to cart   close window

It is one's living philosophy that is somewhat different kettle of fish from one's formal philosophy. A long list of decisions is automatically made by the customs and folkways of one's tribe. One does not go to a dinner party in a bathing suit, hot as the evening may be. One does not get up in the middle of a lecture and tell the speaker what a terrible bore he is, truthful as such a remark might be. Many conscious decisions not determined by the folkways remain.
