In "Pragmatism" James attacked the transcendental, rationalist
tradition in philosophy and tried to clear the ground for the
doctrine he called radical empiricism. The hook caused an uproar;
it was greeted with praise, hostility, ridicule. Determined to
clarify the pragmatic conception of truth, James collected nine
essays he had written on this subject before he wrote "Pragmatism"
and six written later in response to criticisms of that volume by
Bertrand Russell and others. He published the collection under the
title "The Meaning of Truth" in 1909, the year before his
death.
"The Meaning of Truth" shows James at his best--clear and
readable as always, and full of verve and good humor. Intent upon
making difficult ideas clear, he is also forceful in his effort to
make them prevail.
