Abstract
Although a succession of fashions swept the American philosophical scene, C J. Ducasse was throughout his long career an effective practitioner of analytic philosophy in the classic tradition. As he explained in 1924 “[i]t is only with truths about such questions as the meaning of the term ‘true’, or ‘real’, or ‘good’, and the like … that philosophy is concerned.”
