James Elliot Cabot (June 18, 1821 – 1903) was an American philosopher and author, born in Boston. Having received his Bachelor's degree from Harvard Law School in 1845, he started a law firm. He taught Philosophy at Harvard and was a transcendentalist and edited the ''Massachusetts Quarterly Review'', beginning in 1848. Cabot argued that we do not experience space directly, that space is "a system of relations, it cannot be given in any one sensation. () Space is a symbol of the general relatedness of objects constructed by thought from data which lie below consciousness." Cabot was of the opinion that the position of something in space was not felt at all, but deduced from perceived relations. Cabot was a correspondent of Henry David Thoreau. His biography of Ralph Waldo Emerson was criticized for its lack of colour. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Elliot Cabot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
