978-1-80417-794-5 (ISBN)
A clear, accessible introduction to modern and American thought by the influentual philosopher, psychologist, educator and author William James. This is a new, compact edition of one the most important pillars of modern philosophy. James' foundational work defines the move from the heritage of European thinking with its abstractions and theoretical absolutes, to an energetic mode of philosophy based on facts and power, one more suited to the rising dominance of America through the 20th Century.
The FLAME TREE Foundations series features core publications which together have shaped the cultural landscape of the modern world, with cutting-edge research distilled into pocket guides designed to be both accessible and informative.
William James (1842–1910) – the ‘Father of American psychology’ – was a groundbreaking philosopher, historian and psychologist. A key figure in the establishment of the schools of pragmatism, functional psychology and radical empiricism, he influenced all manner of thinkers, from W.E.B. Du Bois to Bertrand Russell. His many works include The Principles of Psychology, Essays in Radical Empiricism, The Varieties of Religious Experience, Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking and The Meaning of Truth. Professor Marika Taylor (Series Foreword) is a Professor of Theoretical Physics and Head of School within Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton. Her research interests include all aspects of string theory, gravitational physics and quantum field theory. In recent years much of her work has been focused on holographic dualities and their implications. Marika's research has featured in such publications as Physical Review, Journal of High Energy Physics and General Relativity and Gravitation among others.
