Pragmatism is the most famous single work of American philosophy.
Its sequel, The Meaning of Truth, is its imperative and inevitable
companion. The definitive texts of both works are here available
for the first time in one volume, with an introduction by the
distinguished contemporary philosopher A. J. Ayer. In Pragmatism
James attacked the transcendental, rationalist tradition in
philosophy and tried to clear the ground for the doctrine he called
radical empiricism. When first published, the book caused an
uproar. It was greeted with praise, hostility, ridicule. Determined
to clarify his views, James collected nine essays he had written on
this subject before he wrote Pragmatism and six written later in
response to criticisms by Bertrand Russell and others. He published
The Meaning of Truth in 1909, the year before his death. These two
works show James at his best full of verve and good humor. Intent
upon making difficult ideas clear, he is characteristically
vigorous in his effort to make them prevail.
