truth, is rather the reverse, a synonym for error.

Nevertheless, William James hailed Bergson as an ally very
enthusiastically. Early in the century (1903) we find him remarking in
his correspondence: "I have been re-reading Bergson's books, and nothing
that I have read since years has so excited and stimulated my thoughts.
I am sure that that philosophy has a great future, it breaks through old
cadres and brings things into a solution from which new crystals can be
got." The most noteworthy tributes paid by him to Bergson were those
made in the Hibbert Lectures (A Pluralistic Universe), which James gave
at Manchester College, Oxford, shortly after he and Bergson met in
London. He there remarked upon the encouragement he had received from
Bergson's thought, and referred to the confidence he had in being "able
to lean on Bergson's authority." [Footnote: A Pluralistic Universe, pp.
214-15. Cf. the whole of Lecture V. The Compounding of Consciousness,
pp. 181-221, and Lecture VI. Bergson and His Critique of
Intellectualism, pp. 225-273.] "Open Bergson, and new horizons loom on
every page you read. It is like the breath of the morning and the song
of birds. It tells of reality itself, instead of merely reiterating what
dusty-minded professors have written about what other previous
professors have thought. Nothing in Bergson is shop-worn or at second-
hand." [Footnote: Lecture VI., p. 265.] The influence of Bergson had led
him "to renounce the intellectualist method and the current notion that
logic is an adequate measure of what can or cannot be." [Footnote: A
Pluralistic Universe, p. 212.] It had induced him, he continued, "TO
GIVE UP THE LOGIC, squarely and irrevocably" as a method, for he found
that "reality, life, experience, concreteness, immediacy, use what word
you will, exceeds our logic, overflows, and surrounds it." [Footnote: A
Pluralistic Universe, p. 212.]
