9781406731002: Some Problems of Philosophy

Synopsis

This book contains William James's 1912 treatise, "Some Problems with Philosophy". It was the result of his life-long ambition to write a book presenting his philosophy in systematic form. However, due to his ill health and subsequent demise, he was never able to complete it, and what had been written was authorised to be published whilst James still had the ability to do so. Aptly subtitled "A Beginning of an Introduction to Philosophy", the remaining text is a mixture containing both sections suitable for beginners and some that are decidedly more technical. A fascinating attempt at the integration of James's primary philosophical ideas of pragmatism and radical empiricism, this vintage book will interest both aspiring students of philosophy and collectors of James's seminal work. William James was an esteemed researcher at Harvard University and one of the most seminal thinkers of the nineteenth century. His other notable works include: "Human Immortality" (1898) and "The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature" (1902). This book was originally published in 1912. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
