This edited volume demonstrates that a virtue-centered approach to the ethical life is a consistent feature of William James's moral reasoning from the 1880s until his death in 1910. Little else, however, seems constant within James's writings on moral philosophy and the ethical life, and this lack of constancy is what keeps James's work of interest more than a century later.
