First published in 1951, in Applied Philosophy Professor Lodge has attempted to apply the academic techniques labelled realist, idealist and pragmatist to life and its present-day problems. The nature, functions and limitations of such applications are considered from the standpoint of realism, idealism, pragmatism and of the author’s position which he calls “balanced philosophy”. He shows how to carry through such applications in the fields of education, business, government, religion, and everyday life.

The book is written so as to encourage the reader to project himself sympathetically into the standpoint of each successive school of thought, and thus to accustom him to apply for himself each of the standard philosophic techniques. This is a must read for any student of philosophy.
