Sommario/riassunto

William James was a groundbreaking thinker who made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy and psychology, as well as to the genre of personal essays. This volume brings together a collection of James'' essays and scholarly articles that shine light on his doctrine of ""radical empiricism,"" which attempts to outline the way the human mind comes to know and recognize not only material objects, but also the relationships and links between various objects.
