Collected Essays and Reviews

This scarce antiquarian book contains a comprehensive collection of articles and reviews written by William James. There are few intellectual histories in which quick enthusiasm and love of novelty are so perfectly balanced by steadiness and discipline. Bringing together thirty-nine of the most important of his work, this compendium is a one of a kind, constituting a must-have for those interested in the life and work of this great writer. Articles contained herein include: German Pessimism, The Sentiment of Rationality, The Feeling of Effort, What is an Emotion?, The Religious Aspect of Philosophy, and many more fascinating pieces. William James was an American philosopher and psychologist, most famous for being the first person to offer a psychology course in America. This rare book was originally published in 1920 and is proudly republished here with a new prefatory biography of the author.
