About this ebook

When evidence is incomplete, how should we believe and act? This original English guide follows William James through attention, habit, the stream of thought, pragmatism, truth, religious experience, pluralism, and the bounded argument of The Will to Believe. It challenges the easy slogan that truth is simply whatever feels useful and separates philosophical history from clinical advice. Eighteen chapters, a glossary, annotated sources, and an invented library decision invite readers to test the ideas. A critical introduction, not a work by James.
