William James was the central figure of the "historical" period of
American philosophy - and Pragmatism was the most influential
philosophical movement of the day. This volume brings together the
original 1907 text of James' "Pragmatism", in which James applies
the theories of meaning and truth central to Pragmatism to
metaphysics and religion, with a series of critical essays by
prominent scholars, including G.E. Moore, Bertrand Russell and D.C.
Phillips. Professor Olin's introduction reviews the articles
reprinted, discusses James' response to the Russell and Pratt
articles and evaluates the strength of the objections that have
been advanced against James. The introduction also distinguishes
between Pragmatism as a method for clarifying ideas, as a theory of
truth, and as an epistemological theory. This edition of James'
forceful, vigorous and humorous work will provide a useful
introduction to James and to a major school of American philosophy.
This book should be of interest to students and lecturers of
philosophy.
