James and Stumpf first met in Prague in 1882. James soon started
corresponding with a "colleague with whose persons and whose ideas
alike I feel so warm a sympathy." With this, a lifelong epistolary
friendship began. For 28 years until James's death in 1910, Stumpf
became James's most important European correspondent. Besides
psychological themes of great importance, such as the perception of
space and of sound, the letters include commentary upon Stumpf's
(Tonpsychologie) and James's main books (The Principles of
Psychology, The Varieties of Religious Experience), and many other
works. The two friends also exchange views concerning other
scholars, religious faith and metaphysical topics. The different
perspectives of the American and the German (European) way of
living, philosophizing and doing science are frequently under
discussion. The letters also touch upon personal questions of
historical interest. The book offers a critical edition and the
English translation of hitherto unpublished primary sources.
Historians of psychology and historians of philosophy will welcome
the volume as a useful tool for their understanding of some crucial
developments of the time. Scholars in the history of pragmatism and
of phenomenology will also be interested in the volume.
