This book is a critical edition of William James's Essays in
Radical Empiricism. The text has been annotated to explain and
expand on James's references and to briefly develop points of
criticism. The editor has added a new, critical Introduction, an
extended bibliography and a new, comprehensive index. William James
is perhaps America's favorite philosopher and his writings remain
popular around the world. Yet he studied to be an M.D., taught
anatomy and physiology at Harvard, and he came to international
prominence with his magnum opus, The Principles of Psychology
(1890). James represented America just as the U.S. arrived on the
world stage. This critical edition examines James's later
philosophical work from the perspective of the scientific
naturalism often prominent in the Principles. It also takes up
developments in historical and contemporary sources of functional
psychology-which James often inspired-up to and including
reflections of the contemporary French neuroscientist Stanislas
Dehaene. The aim is to place the evaluation of James on pragmatism
and radical empiricism within the scientific perspective of
contemporary work in the philosophy of psychology and the
philosophy of mind. James on "radical empiricism" and "pure
experience" and "pragmatism" are particular topics of critical
attention.
