In this lively reappraisal of that controversy, Father O?Connell contributes some fresh contentions: that James? argument should be viewed against his indebtedness to Pascal and Renouvier; that it works primarily to validate our ?over-beliefs? ; and most surprising perhaps, that James envisages our ?passional nature? as intervening, not after, but before and throughout, our intellectual weighing of the evidence for belief. 410 0$aAmerican philosophy series. 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy. 676 $a121/.6 686 $aPHI022000$2bisacsh 700 $aO'Connell$b Robert J., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0179920 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910324045503321 996 $aWilliam James on the courage to believe$92300844 997 $aUNINA
