The publication in 1890 of William James's acknowledged masterpiece
marked a turning point in the development of psychology as a
science in America. "The Principles of Psychology" also became a
source of inspiration in philosophy, literature, and the arts. When
John Dewey reviewed it, he predicted that it would rank "as a
permanent classic, like Locke's "Essay" and Hume's "Treatise,""
Its stature undiminished after ninety-one years, "The Principles
of Psychology" appears now in a new, handsome edition with an
authoritative text that corrects the hundreds of errors, some very
serious, that have been perpetuated over the years. Prepared
according to the modern standards of textual scholarship, this
edition incorporates all of the changes James made in the eight
printings he supervised, as well as the revisions and new material
he added to his own annotated copy. In addition, all footnotes,
references, quotations, and translations have been thoroughly
checked.
The complete text of the "Principles," with footnotes,
drawings, and James's own index, appears in Volumes I and II.
Volume III includes extensive notes, appendixes, textual apparatus,
and a general index.
