Sommario/riassunto

Craving an intellectually stimulating read? Dive into A Pluralistic Universe by William James, an influential thinker and psychologist who also happened to be the brother of acclaimed novelist Henry James. This lucid, gripping account outlines some of James'' critiques of standard methods of reasoning. It''s definitely challenging, but much more appealing to a general audience than most philosophical tracts.
