One of James's earliest philosophical essays sounds a note which will echo through his writings. Criticizing Spencer's definition of truth as (‘mere’) correspondence, James asserts that a ‘correspondence’ between the mind and reality is a ‘ right mental action’, and rightness is determined by ‘pure subjective interests ...brought... upon the scene and corresponding to no relation already there’ (EP 11)
