For 10 points, name this American idealist and author of The Problem of Christianity.
In one essay, this philosopher discusses a figure who could "do with evil precisely what he does with Rahab or with the shades" and concludes that that figure, who "sees in unity what you see in fragments," suffers, thus resolving "The Problem of Job." One chapter of one of his works traces its subject back to the second definition of knowledge given by Theaetetus and defines its subject as an "incomplete thought" that failed in its purpose according to a higher thought. Another chapter by this author explains the World of Interpretation using Pierce's "doctrine of Signs." The former work is "The Possibility of Error" and requires the existence of "an infinite unity of conscious thought." One of this author's works rejects conceptions of being such as mysticism, critical rationalism, and realism in its first volume, and then goes on to consider "Nature, Man, and the Moral Order"; that work is The World and the Individual. Ubiquitous to this author's work is the existence of an Absolute Knower. For 10 points, name this American idealist and author of The Problem of Christianity.
