This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays, Philosophical and Psychological, in Honor of William James, Professor in Harvard University, by His Colleagues at Columbia University I beg that it may be understood that no question-begging is intended in my title. A philosophical doctrine is not necessarily worthy of acceptance because it is new. It is foolish to argue that, because a philosophy happens to be the current one, it is deserving of respect; just as it is foolish to argue that, because certain beliefs are discovered to have an affinity with the beliefs current in some by-gone age, therefore they must be antiquated and worthy of rejection. There is no philosophy accepted in our time which has not its roots in the past, and we may always obtain a cheap triumph over its adherents by taunting them with the date at which their ancestors thought that they saw the light. But this is a cheap triumph, indeed, and one which we may all enjoy in our turn. Only he whose reading and reflection have been limited will look upon it as worth enjoying.

Book William James  Writings 1902 1910  LOA  38

Download or read book William James Writings 1902 1910 LOA 38 written by William James and published by Library of America. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 1410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosopher and psychologist William James was the best known and most influential American thinker of his time. The five books and nineteen essays collected in this Library of America volume represent all his major work from 1902 until his death in 1910. Most were originally written as lectures addressed to general audiences as well as philosophers and were received with great enthusiasm. His writing is clear, energetic, and unpretentious, and is marked by the devotion to literary excellence he shared with his brother, Henry James. In these works William James champions the value of individual experience with an eloquence and enthusiasm that has placed him alongside Emerson and Whitman as a classic exponent of American democratic culture. In The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) James explores “the very inner citadel of human life” by focusing on intensely religious individuals of different cultures and eras. With insight, compassion, and open-mindedness, he examines and assesses their beliefs, seeking to measure religion’s value by its contributions to individual human lives. In Pragmatism (1907) James suggests that the conflicting metaphysical positions of “tender-minded” rationalism and “tough-minded” empiricism be judged by examining their actual consequences. Philosophy, James argues, should free itself from unexamined principles and closed systems and confront reality with complete openness. In A Pluralistic Universe (1909) James rejects the concept of the absolute and calls on philosophers to respond to “the real concrete sensible flux of life.” Through his discussion of Kant, Hegel, Henri Bergson, and religion, James explores a universe viewed not as an abstract “block” but as a rich “manyness-in-oneness,” full of independent yet connected events. The Meaning of Truth (1909) is a polemical collection of essays asserting that ideas are made true not by inherent qualities but by events. James delights in intellectual combat, stating his positions with vigor while remaining open to opposing ideas. Some Problems of Philosophy (1910) was intended by James to serve both as a historical overview of metaphysics and as a systematic statement of his philosophical beliefs. Though unfinished at his death, it fully demonstrates the psychological insight and literary vividness James brought to philosophy. Among the essays included are the anti-imperialist “Address on the Philippine Question,” “On Some Mental Effects of the Earthquake,” a candid personal account of the 1906 California disaster, and “The Moral Equivalent of War,” a call for the redirection of martial energies to peaceful ends, as well as essays on Emerson, the role of university in intellectual life, and psychic research.

Download or read book William James in Focus written by William J. Gavin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William James (1842-1910) is a canonical figure of American pragmatism. Trained as a medical doctor, James was more engaged by psychology and philosophy and wrote a foundational text, Pragmatism, for this characteristically American way of thinking. Distilling the main currents of James's thought, William J. Gavin focuses on "latent" and "manifest" ideas in James to disclose the notion of "will to believe," which courses through his work. For students who may be approaching James for the first time and for specialists who may not know James as deeply as they wish, Gavin provides a clear path to understanding James's philosophy even as he embraces James's complications and hesitations.
