Abstract
Absolute truth is, at best, a regulative ideal, a goal infinitely remote that man would approach with ever increasing hope. All knowledge is conditioned by incompleteness of development and by perspectives which the plastic human organism acquires in intraction with environment. Negro scholars propound a knowledge reflecting resentment of the caste-like status forced upon their group. Bias is not deliberate, but there exists an unconscious attitude of immediate group defense. This narrows the scholar's angle of vision. His knowledge is affected in "form" and in "content." Analytical categories are preferred to morphological, environment to heredity. Exceptions have logical priority over quantitative majorities. Range of validity is narrowed, since the mentality of the opponent is not understood through sympathetic interchange of attitudes.
