mode of analysis which exhibits the most concrete elements in the nature of actual entities» (PR 28).

One
of the «four factors
which decisively govern the fate
of social groups» according to his
analysis, is «the iron compulsion
of nature that the bodily necessities

modes of social existence can only be mitigated by the growth
of an understanding by
which the interplay between man and the rest
of nature can be adjusted.»

First, he distinguishes from classical empiricism a revisionary description
of experience according to
which sense perception is neither the only nor even the primary
mode of experience, but is rather derived from a still more elemental awareness both
of ourselves and
of the world around us» (PP 78).6 On Ogden's
analysis, both the classical and this first type
of revisionary empiricism «assume that the sole realities present in our experience, and therefore the only objects
of our certain knowledge, are ourselves and the other creatures that constitute the world» (PP 79) 7 With these «two more conventional types
of empiricism» he contrasts a «comprehensive» type
of revisionary empiricism distinguished from them by its consideration
of the possibility (and then also by its claim) that the internal awareness it asserts together with the former revisionary type is «the awareness not merely
of ourselves, and
of our fellow creatures, but also
of the infinite whole in
which we are all included as somehow one» (PP 87, 80, 85).
In other words, Ogden's
analysis of various descriptions
of experience is informed by two distinctions, both
of which apply to the noetic pole
of experience: a twofold distinction between nonsensuous and sensory
modes of experience and a threefold distinction
of what Whitehead calls «the feeling
of the ego, the others, the totality,» that is,
of self, other, and whole (PP 84).8 This comprehensive hermeneutical grid then permits an explanation
of what he claims is a «sense
of ourselves and others as
of transcendent worth,» as precisely an «awareness
of ourselves and the world as
of worth to God» (PP 86f) Y Ogden notes that such an evidently theistic explanation is not open to empirical or experiential confirmation on either
of the two more restrictive descriptions
which, as he observes, must either «refer the word God» to some merely creaturely reality or process
of interaction, or else., must deny it all reference whatever by construing its meaning as wholly noncognitive,» if they seek experiential illustration for such a sense at all (PP 80) 10
In Buchler's system, a principle
of ontological parity is a commitment
which pervades the
analyses in both the general ontology and the more specific metaphysics
of what Buchler calls human utterance.1 For Buchler, that no one

modes of human judgment is any more
of a judgment than any other is also an exemplification
of the more general principle
of ontological parity.
