Description

William James (1842窶�1910) is widely regarded as the founding figure of modern psychology and one of the most important philosophers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Renowned for his philosophical theory of pragmatism and memorable turns of phrase, such as 窶�stream of consciousness窶� and the 窶�will to believe窶�, he made enormous contributions to a rich array of philosophical subjects, from the emotions and free will to religion, ethics, and the meaning of life.

The Jamesian Mind covers the major aspects of James窶冱 thought, from his early influences to his legacy, with over forty chapters by an outstanding roster of international contributors. It is organized into seven parts:

• Intellectual Biography
• Psychology, Mind, and Self
• Ethics, Religion, and Politics
• Method, Truth, and Knowledge
• Philosophical Encounters
• Legacy.

In these sections fundamental topics are examined, including James窶冱 conceptions of philosophical and scientific inquiry, habit, self, free will and determinism, pragmatism, truth, and pluralism. Considerable attention is also devoted to James in relation to the intellectual traditions of empiricism and Romanticism as well as to such other philosophical schools as utilitarianism, British idealism, Logical Empiricism, and existentialism. James窶冱 thought is also situated in an interdisciplinary context, including modernism, sociology, and politics, showcasing his legacy in psychology and ethics.

An indispensable resource for anyone studying and researching James窶冱 philosophy, The Jamesian Mind will also interest those in related disciplines such as psychology, religion, and sociology.
