"In explaining the fundamental problems of philosophy to the beginner, Prof. James has advanced his ripest judgment; he spared no pains to make every point clear. And in presenting his subject he made it as interesting reading, even to the uninitiated, as a story."-New York Times ?In explaining the fundamental problems of philosophy to the beginner, Prof. James has advanced his ripest judgment; he spared no pains to make every point clear.

With the clarity that William James deemed obligatory, Some Problems of Philosophy outlines his theory of perception. The early chapters expose the defects of intellectualism and monism and the advantages of empiricism and pluralism. The novelty that enters into concrete perceptual experience, and that is disallowed by the rationalizing intellect, suggests exciting possibilities. Denied any absolute truth in an ever-changing world, privy to only a piece of the truth at any given moment, the individual can, with faith and good will, help create order out of chaos. Some Problems of Philosophy, published posthumously, represents an important advance in William James's thought.
