Professor Watson on Reality and Time

Comments on an article by J. Watson in which he aims to clear up the relation of time to the absolute. Watson devotes most of the article to preliminary considerations in psychology and to the examination of Bradley's conception of reality and of McTaggart's exposition of Hegel's doctrines of the absolute and of time. The current author addresses Watson's view that reality is a function of progressive mental organization, thus denying the very possibility of a construction of reality apart from this organization itself.
