William James: The Essential Writings is a series of philosophical arguments on some of the most \"obscure and head-cracking problems\" in contemporary philosophy; the relation of thought to its object; the interrelationships between meaning and truth; the levels and structures of experience; the degrees of reality; the nature of the embodied self; the relation of ethics, aesthetics, and religious experience to man's strenuously and \"heroically\" active nature; and, above all, the structurization of the experienced life-world as the validating ground and origin of all theory; Bruce Wilshire has provided an introduction to William James's thought on these and other related points which is at once both substantial and subtle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46894098448535,"sku":"9780873959346","price":3761.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780873959346.webp?v=1770321504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/william-james-the-essential-writings-9780873959346","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
