This book offers a powerful interpretation of the philosophy of
William James. It focuses on the multiple directions in which
James's philosophy moves and the inevitable contradictions that
arise as a result. The first part of the book explores a range of
James's doctrines in which he refuses to privilege any particular
perspective: ethics, belief, free will, truth and meaning. The
second part of the book turns to those doctrines where James
privileges the perspective of mystical experience. Richard Gale
then shows how the relativistic tendencies can be reconciled with
James's account of mystical experience. An appendix considers the
distorted picture of James's philosophy that has been refracted
down to us through the interpretations of his work by John Dewey.
