William Pepperell Montague

William Pepperell Montague ( born November 11, 1873 in Chelsea, Massachusetts; † August 1, 1953 in New York City, New York) was an American philosopher.

Montague taught since 1920 as a professor at Columbia University. Influenced by Josiah Royce and the idealistic personalism related parties he became the leading representative of the American neorealism. He tried knowing and believing in a " spiritualist " and " animist " to unite materialism. The philosophy was - in his opinion - the task of shaping reality.
