William James

Some Problems of Philosophy William James

This book contains the result of James?s life-long ambition to write a book presenting his philosophy in systematic form. Due to his ill health and subsequent demise, the writing of this book was never completed, and what had been written was authorised to be published whilst James still had the ability to do so. Aptly subtitled "A Beginning of an Introduction to Philosophy", the remaining text is a mixture containing both sections suitable for a beginners and some that are decidedly more technical. A fascinating attempt at the integration of James?s primary philosophical ideas of pragmatism and radical empiricism, this rare book will interest both aspiring students of philosophy and collectors of James?s seminal work. William James was an influential philosopher and psychologist, who was also the first person to offer a psychology course in the United States. This scarce book was originally published in 1912 and is proudly republished now with a new biography of the author.
