  1. ^ Steven Rockefeller, John Dewey: Religious Faith and Democratic Humanism, Columbia University Press, 1994, p. 78: "[Morris's] studies with Trendelenburg left him with the lasting conviction that philosophy must be grounded in scientific methods of truth, but Trendelenburg guided him away from British empiricism to an Aristotelian idealism."
