This title offers an intelligent and insightful exploration of the most notable works of the influential thinker and philosopher, William James. William James (1842-1910) was one of the most original and influential thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a professor at Harvard University he published many works that had a wide-ranging impact on both psychology and philosophy. His "Principles of Psychology" was the most important English-language work on the mind since Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding. This intelligent volume covers the primary topics for which James is still closely studied - the nature of experience, the functions of the mind, the criteria for knowledge, the definition of 'truth,' and ethical and religious philosophy - providing readers with a fascinating tour of James' most noteworthy achievements.
