Beschreibung

This book contains William James's 1912 treatise, "Some Problems with Philosophy". It was the result of his life-long ambition to write a book presenting his philosophy in systematic form. However, due to his ill health and subsequent demise, he was never able to complete it, and what had been written was authorised to be published whilst James still had the ability to do so. Aptly subtitled "A Beginning of an Introduction to Philosophy", the remaining text is a mixture containing both sections suitable for beginners and some that are decidedly more technical. A fascinating attempt at the integration of James's primary philosophical ideas of pragmatism and radical empiricism, this vintage book will interest both aspiring students of philosophy and collectors of James's seminal work. William James was an esteemed researcher at Harvard University and one of the most seminal thinkers of the nineteenth century. His other notable works include: "Human Immortality" (1898) and "The Varieties of Religious Experience: A Study in Human Nature" (1902). This book was originally published in 1912. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

Über den Autor

William Canton (1845-1926) was a British author, poet, and journalist who wrote extensively on a wide range of topics, including children's literature, travel, and natural history. Born in Chichester, England, Canton began his career as a journalist, working for various newspapers and magazines in London. He later turned to write books, and is best known for his children's books, which include "A Child's Book of Saints," "The Invisible Playmate," and "W.V., Her Book." Canton's writing was characterized by its imaginative and lyrical style, as well as its focus on nature and spirituality. He was deeply interested in the natural world, and his books often included descriptions of animals, plants, and landscapes. In addition to his writing, Canton was also a respected lecturer and broadcaster and gave talks on a variety of subjects, including literature, religion, and science. He was known for his engaging and entertaining style, and was popular with audiences of all ages. Canton remained active as a writer and public speaker throughout his life, and his work continued to be well-regarded even after his death in 1926. His books for children, in particular, are still widely read and cherished for their warmth, wisdom, and poetic language.
