Description
Book SynopsisThis volume brings together 21 essays, reviews, and occasional pieces published by James between 1876 and 1910. They range in subject from a concern with the teaching of philosophy and appraisals of philosophers to analyses of important problems. Regardless of his topic, James is always unmistakably himself, and always readable.
