Produktbeschreibung
In his own day, William James was a towering figure in philosophy, religious studies, and physiological psychology (an ancestor of neuropsychology). He fell out of fashion in the middle twentieth century when logical analysis ruled philosophy, and behaviorism ruled psychology. But interest in his work has been thoroughly rejuvenated by a new generation, some out of an interest in joining philosophy with neuropsychology, and others out of an interest in pragmatism, the famous philosophical position he helped forge. The Oxford Handbook of William James offers a systematic and accessible entrée into the thinking of this fascinating figure. Every contributor is a world-recognized expert on James, so while offering orientation to newcomers, these scholars also provide rich insights along the way that will be of interest to specialists as well.
