A Stroll with William James2 reviews
Jacques Barzun

University Of Chicago Press, 2002

A walk to remember!

+ James as Hero

After reading 5 of his books now, I'm not sure there's much that Jacques Barzun can't do. Honestly, I, like most people, think they understand William James and I, like most people, found out that I was further from him than I thought.

William James

University Of Chicago Press, 1978

James is an addicting and blisteringly real thinker!

+ The Most Complete James Work I've Seen

This is an absolute value! Most of James's published writings including the hard to find "Pluralistic Universe" and "Essays in Radical Empiricism" are here. As well, we get the compolete "Pragmatism", "The Meaning of Truth" and excerpts from "Varieties" and "Psychology". Before reading this ...

Essays in Radical Empiricism1 review
William James

Dover Publications, 2003

A Radical Excursion into Extreme Empiricism

For the serious James scholar, this book is indispensible. For those of you who are not too familiar with Jame's ideas and their background, this book is probably too much - and too boring at that. Even for scholars of epistemology, this book can be rather frustrating. Originally written for his ...

Psychology: The Briefer Course
William James

Dover Publications, 2001

Condensed and reworked from James's monumental Principles of Psychology, this classic text examines habit; stream of consciousness; self and the sense of personal identity; discrimination and association; the sense of time; memory; perception; imagination; reasoning; emotions, instincts; the will and voluntary acts; and much more.
