Footnote sb81

sb81. I strongly suspect that James's difficulty with Christian doctrine is reflected in the Pragmatist idea of relative truth. If truth is relative, then there is no need to worry that God will judge you by an absolute standard of truth. The same idea very likely occurred to Dewey, who was so strongly influenced by the Darwinian paradigm.
