This 1908 collection of lectures delivered by James constitutes an attack upon the philosophical idea of monistic idealism, which James believes has removed philosophical inquiry from the realms of the actual and experiential.  James champions the idea of pluralism, which stresses the manifold nature of existence.

About the Author

William James (1842-1910) was the elder brother of the novelist Henry James and a key figure in American philosophy and psychology.  His best known and most influential work, still quite readable today, is The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), which approaches the subject of religion from a scientific, psychological—yet refreshingly open-minded—standpoint.
