5.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific, in-depth study,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Cambridge Companion to William James (Cambridge Companions to Philosophy) (Paperback)
I highly recommend this book, for anyone who has read and admired something of James' work and who wants to know what some of the brightest minds of our own time have to say about it.A warning, though, this is not a "popularization," a dilution, an "introduction to James," or the Cliff Notes version! You have to have read the real thing to appreciate the commentary. To put it differently, if you know some Jamesian texts, you will appreciate the way this book puts them into a CON-text. I especially recommend chapter seven, by T.L.S. Sprigge, called "James, aboutness, and his British critics." Sprigge shows what is wrong with some common criticisms of Jamesian pragmatism, criticisms first posed by the two British critics mentioned in the chapter title, G.E. Moore and Bertrand Russell. |
