Essays in Radical Empiricism by William James
QR code
"Essays in Radical Empiricism" by William James is a collection of philosophical essays published posthumously in 1912. Assembled by colleague Ralph Barton Perry from journal articles James wrote between 1904-1905, the work explores James's radical empiricism philosophy. Because James never finalized the collection himself, and Perry modified the original selection, the essays don't form a systematic exposition. This circumstance, combined with James's evolving philosophical views, has led to widely varying interpretations and
debates about radical empiricism's true meaning and significance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
