William James and Other Essays on the Philosophy of Life e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Since each of these papers is intended to be comprehensible by itself, I am obliged, in each, to state, more or less dogmatically, opin ions which I have discussed and attempted to justify in former writings. Dogma, as such, has no place in philosophy. But the present book is no systematic treatise; and is to be judged, I hope, in the light of its own decidedly practical purpose, and of its accompanying limitations.
