Book Synopsis
At Columbia University in 1906, William James gave a highly confrontational speech to the American Philosophical Association (APA). What was the goal of this unusual speech? This work reveals that James' trespassing of boundaries was an essential element of a broader intellectual and social project.

Trade Review
"I learned a great deal from this wonderful history of James's involvement in the shaping of the academy and intellectual thought. I can imagine telling any and all of my students in philosophy - as well as psychology or neuroscience - that if you want to understand your discipline, how it came to be as it is, then read this splendid book." - Owen Flanagan, Duke University"
