Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philosophy of William James For reasons of space this little study of William James's philosophy has had to restrict itself to the essential core of his doctrine, and to omit many sides of his singularly rich and sympathetic personality. Moreover, I felt that James was so supremely excellent a writer that a summary of his philosophy would be best given so far as pos sible in his own incomparable language. I have accordingly aimed largely at efi'ective selection, and at stringing together his own expositions of his most important doctrines, with a. Minimum of explanatory comment.

Book excerpt: "This book presents the philosophy of William James. In certain men, the personality and the work are inseparable, and James was one. He taught that a philosophy has its root in life, not in the collective or impersonal life of humanity, in his view the abstraction of the schools, but in the concrete life of the individual, the only life which really exists. James thought that philosophy, even in its boldest speculations, should maintain its bond with the soul of the thinker if it is not to degenerate into an empty assemblage of words and of concepts, devoid of all real content. After presenting an account of the life and personality of James, the author presents James's philosophy in 5 fields: psychology, religious psychology, pragmatism, metaphysical views, and pedagogy"--Introduction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of William James's Philosophy: A Critical Essay for the General Reader Although in writing this essay I have had in View that large and fortunately increasing number of readers who feel a sincere interest in philosophy, and for whom James himself must always remain its leading exponent, still I have aimed at neither an introduction nor an exposition, except in so far as these are necessary to criticism; some degree of acquaintance, therefore, with James's own works is required, but that I believe is not far to seek.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William James and Pragmatism: Thesis The 'belief that the changes which have been incident to the devel opment of this philosophy are of utmost significance to the student Of present philosophical tendencies led me to undertake an analysis of What we may call the Old and the new pragmatism, or the pragmatism Of James and that of the school most closely associated with the name Of Professor John Dewey. The present monograph is a part only Of a study which I am making of the entire complex relationship of, the two closely allied philosophies, and yet it is complete in itself, for in discussing the difficulties inherent in J ames's formulation Of his final doctrine of consciousness, one comes upon the essential difference between the Old pragmatism and the new; a difference from which the other divergences - such as the one included in this monograph in regard to the doctrine of truth - follow as by corollary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive collection of writings by the legendary philosopher, whose sweeping body of work influenced our ideas about psychology, religion, free will, and pragmatism. In his introduction to this collection, John McDermott presents James's thinking in all its manifestations, stressing the importance of radical empiricism and placing into perspective the doctrines of pragmatism and the will to believe. The critical periods of James's life are highlighted to illuminate the development of his philosophical and psychological thought. The anthology features representative selections from The Principles of Psychology, The Will to Believe, and The Variety of Religious Experience in addition to the complete Essays in Radical Empiricism and A Pluralistic Universe. The original 1907 edition of Pragmatism is included, as well as classic selections from all of James's other major works.

Download or read book Essays Philosophical and Psychological in Honor of William James Professor in Harvard University by His Colleagues at Columbia University Classic Reprint written by William James and published by . 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.
