Andere Essays in der Sammlung umfassen ""Was ist eine Emotion?"", ""Die Moralit�����t des Kampfes"", ""Die Dilemmata des Determinismus"" und ""Die Freiheit des Willens"".

A Pluralistic Universe is a philosophical work by William James, one of the most influential American philosophers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Published in 1909, the book explores James' ideas about the nature of reality and the relationship between the individual and the universe. James argues that reality is not a singular, unified entity, but rather a pluralistic universe made up of many different perspectives and experiences. He suggests that our understanding of reality is shaped by our individual experiences and perceptions, and that there is no one ""correct"" way of viewing the world. The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, James provides an overview of his philosophical ideas and explores the concept of ""pure experience."" In the second part, he delves into the idea of pluralism and how it relates to our understanding of reality. He also examines the role of religion in shaping our understanding of the universe. The third part of the book is a series of lectures that James delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1908. In these lectures, he expands on his ideas about pluralism and explores the relationship between philosophy and religion. A Pluralistic Universe is considered a seminal work in American philosophy and has influenced many subsequent thinkers in the field. It is a complex and challenging read, but one that rewards careful study and reflection.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1909 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

"If you wish to upset the law that all crows are black, you mustn't seek to show that no crows are; it is enough if you prove one single crow to be white." William James (1842-1910) was a leading figure in Western psychology, philosophy, and psychical research. While there is an inextricable relationship between the various strands of James's work, his psychical research has been unfairly neglected in favor of classics such as The Principles of Psychology and The Varieties of Religious Experience. Read in light of one another, however, James's "mainstream" writings can be seen as efforts to make philosophical, metaphysical, and psychological sense of his psychical research. Mind Dust and White Crows bridges the illusory divide, placing James's widely accepted works on mystical experience, theories of the soul, immortality, and metaphysics alongside his key writings on mediumship, telepathy, possession and other areas of psychical research. The result is a more integrated picture of James's spiritually-minded writings, transcending the disciplinary stigmas so often imposed on them. Interestingly, some of James's ideas seem to align with current interpretations of the soul and extended consciousness as derived from quantum physics. This volume includes many rare articles, including material that has not been previously published in book form. Andreas Sommer's introduction - written especially for this volume - highlights the importance of James's work to the history and development of psychical research.

This collection of talks was initially delivered as a series of lectures to teachers at Harvard University in 1896. In this book, William James, a prominent American philosopher and psychologist, addresses the relationship between psychology and education. He discusses the practical implications of psychological principles for teaching and learning. James explores various aspects of education, including the development of the individual, the role of habit, and the importance of cultivating a well-rounded character. One of the central themes is the idea that education should go beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge and should also focus on the development of moral character and the cultivation of a sense of purpose in life. James emphasizes the role of personal ideals and values in shaping the educational process. Overall, "Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals" is a thought-provoking work that delves into the intersection of psychology and education, offering insights into the broader aspects of life that education should aim to address.

THE ancestors of William James, with the possible exception of one pair of great-great-grandparents, all came to America from Scotland or Ireland during the eighteenth century, and settled in the eastern part of New York State or in New Jersey. One Irish forefather is known to have been descended from Englishmen who had crossed the Irish Channel in the time of William of Orange, or thereabouts; but whether the others who came from Ireland were more English or Celtic is not clear. In America all his ancestors were Protestant, and they appear, without exception, to have been people of education and character. In the several communities in which they settled they prospered above the average. They became farmers, traders, and merchants, and, so far as has yet been discovered, there were only two lawyers, and no doctors or ministers, among them. They seem to have been reckoned as pious people, and several of their number are known to have been generous supporters of the churches in which they worshiped; but, if one may judge by the scanty records which remain, there is no one among them to whom one can point as foreshadowing the inclination to letters and religious speculation that manifested itself strongly in William James and his father. They were mainly concerned to establish themselves in a new country. Inasmuch as they succeeded, lived well, and were respected, it is likely that they possessed a fair endowment of both the imagination and the solid qualities that one thinks of as appropriately combined in the colonists who crossed the ocean in the eighteenth century and did well in the new country. But, as to many of them, it is impossible to do more than presume this, and impossible to carry presumption any farther.

William James (January 11, 1842 - August 26, 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist who was also trained as a physician. The first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States, [3] James was one of the leading thinkers of the late nineteenth century and is believed by many to be one of the most influential philosophers the United States has ever produced, while others have labelled him the "Father of American psychology".[4][5][6] Along with Charles Sanders Peirce and John Dewey, he is considered to be one of the major figures associated with the philosophical school known as pragmatism, and is also cited as one of the founders of functional psychology. A Review of General Psychology survey, published in 2002, ranked James as the 14th most cited psychologist of the 20th century. He also developed the philosophical perspective known as radical empiricism. James' work has influenced intellectuals such as Émile Durkheim, W. E. B. Du Bois, Edmund Husserl, Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Hilary Putnam, and Richard Rorty, and has even influenced Presidents, such as Jimmy Carter.

This notable and influential study of the psychology of religion asserts that instead of the tenants of organized religion, we should look to the individual religious experiences as the foundations of religious life. As such, James makes his case with the religious accounts of various well-known thinkers throughout history, applying an analytic clarity to their stories and developing a pluralistic framework that defines the divine as a group of, rather than one single, qualities. The Varieties of Religious Experience presents readers with an intellectual, rather than emotional, call for both religious tolerance and respect.
