This final volume of "The Works of William James" provides a full
record of James's teaching career at Harvard from 1872 to 1907. It
includes extensive working notes for lectures in more than twenty
courses. Some of the notes contain summary statements of views of
James's that have never been published before, such as his
treatment of the question of proof in ethics, in the only course he
ever taught in that subject; others reflect contemporary
controversies in philosophy, notably the famous debate on Idealism
and the nature of the Absolute; still others illuminate early
stages of James's thinking on crucial problems in what was to
become his philosophy of radical empiricism. Often the notes yield
information about his sources that is not to be found in the
published writings. Because James's teaching was so closely
involved with the development of his thought, this unpublished
material adds a new dimension to our understanding of his
philosophy.
James's public lectures gained him world renown, and most of
them were subsequently published. There are, however, several sets
of notes for and drafts of important lectures that he never wrote
out for publication; these are included in the present volume.
Among them are his two series of lectures in 1878 on the physiology
of the brain and its relation to the mind; the Lowell Lectures of
1896 on exceptional mental states; and the lectures of 1902 on
intellect and feeling in religions, which were designed to
supplement "Varieties of Religious Experience" and were intended to
be his last word on the psychology of religion.
