William James (1842-1910) argued for a philosophy of democracy and
pluralism that advocates individual and collective responsibility
for our social arrangements, our morality, and our religion. In
James' view, democracy resides first and foremost not in
governmental institutions or in procedures such as voting, but
rather in the characteristics of individuals, and in qualities of
mind and conduct. It is a philosophy for social change, counselling
action and hope despite the manifold challenges facing democratic
politics, and these issues still resonate strongly today. In this
book, Stephen S. Bush explores how these themes connect to James'
philosophy of religion, his moral thought, his epistemology, his
psychology, and his metaphysics. His fresh and original study
highlights the relevance of James' thought to modern debates, and
will appeal to scholars and students of moral and political
philosophy.
