William James and Scientific Medicine
Prelude to Tackling Contemporary Crises
The modern world has witnessed tremendous increases in prosperity, and that material abundance has spurred great achievements. But these successes have also brought enormous and troubling side effects. Climate change, biodiversity loss, social inequality, and more problems have grown into crises with potential to challenge the achievements themselves. Alongside these challenges, many outstanding proposals have also emerged for dealing with our pr…
William James and the Sustainable Transformation of Values, with a Case Study for Rethinking the American Dream
This article addresses the call of the Psychology of Global Crises conference for linkage of academic work with social issues in three parts: First, examples from conference participants with their mix of bold calls for social transformation and realization of limits, a combination that generated few clear paths to achieving them. Second, presentation of Jamesian practical idealism with psychological insights for moving past impediments blocking …
The Warfare between Science and Religion
William James's Psychology of Philosophizing
American psychologist and philosopher William James (1842–1910) developed a mediating path to understand and cope with intellectual disagreement. This template did not come to him any more easily than it would for anyone dealing with the contemporary challenges of deep cultural and political polarization. Although the compelling contrasts he experienced in his young adulthood, especially the competing commitments of science and religion, initiall…
Reaching beyond Uncle William
During the hundred years since his death, James's works have developed a reputation for literary flair and personal appeal, but also for inconsistency and lack of rigor; this has contributed to more admiration than influence. He had a talent rare among intellectuals for popularization of complex ideas. Meanwhile, his difficult coming of age and his compelling personality have contributed to an iconic status as a kind of uncle figure in philosophy…

William Dwight Whitney and the Science of Language
Language has become a centerpiece of critical theory and a setting for understanding webs of significance. Stephen G. Alter has produced two fine studies of the nineteenth-century origins of linguistic thinking: Darwinism and the Linguistic Image: Language, Race, and Natural Theology in the Nineteenth Century (1999), and now this biography of William Dwight Whitney, an American founder of modern language study, or philology. Alter's study emphasi…
The soul's economy
Calming the Screaming Eagle
DURING the long, brutal fight over the fate of the Union, William James struggled to find his vocation. Although he was surrounded by enthusiasm for the cause and of prime age to fight, having turned nineteen in January 1861, James did not serve in the war effort. Moreover, although he apparently considered enlisting at one point, he never explicitly expressed regret for his lack of military service, nor is there evidence that any of his friends …

Genuine Reality
Physiology as the antechamber to metaphysics
In the 5 years before 1878, when his career in psychology was becoming established, William James wrote a series of notes and reviews assessing the work of many of the pioneers in the new field. Adopting a public and confident voice, even while he was privately still uncertain and searching, James criticized the dogmatism of positivist and idealist claims to the study of the human brain and mind. In his short writings of 1873-1877, James started …
Physiology as the antechamber to metaphysics
Probabilistic Darwinism
Despite the professed harmony of science and religion in early to middle nineteenth‐century culture, scientific practice gradually veered away from confirmation of religious assumptions. This trend culminated in the shock of Charles Darwin's theory of species development, which troubled many scientists and religious believers both for its explicit naturalism and for the unprovable probabilism at the heart of its method. Two key players — and anta…
