"Some Problems of Philosophy," William James's last book, was
published after his death in 1910. For years he had talked of
rounding out his philosophical work with a treatise on metaphysics.
Characteristically, he chose to do so in the form of an
introduction to the problems of philosophy, because writing for
beginners would force him to be nontechnical and readable. The
result is that, although this is James's most systematic and
abstract work, it has all the lucidity of his other, more popular
writings. Step by step the reader is introduced, through analysis
of the fundamental problems of Being, the relation of thoughts to
things, novelty, causation, and the Infinite, to the original
philosophical synthesis that James called radical empiricism.
This is the seventh volume to be published in The Works of
William James, an authoritative edition sponsored by the American
Council of Learned Societies.
