This book takes a fresh look at how William James' (1842 1910)
conceptions of the human mind, death (mortality and immortality),
and religion provide us with a viable alternative to many
contemporary philosophical approaches. The distinctive Jamesian
perspective is illuminated through critical discussions of several
different theories and conjectures. The overall argument of this
volume is that pragmatist metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and
philosophy of religion must be subordinated to ethics. To provide
an historical and philosophical context for this revolutionary
conception of the pragmatic method, an introductory discussion of
James' views on pragmatism, realism, and truth is also included.
Instead of focusing on the general issues of realism and
pragmatism, however, the volume examines the applications of these
issues to topics such as death, evil, and other minds. The book is
vital reading not only for James scholars and pragmatists, but for
anyone thinking seriously about human mortality and the endless
ethical challenges our life with other human beings that confront
us.
