The Hibbert Lectures that William James gave at Manchester College, Oxford, setting his radical empiricism against the monistic idealism then dominant in British philosophy. He criticises Hegel and his method, takes up Fechner’s vision of a world-soul and Bergson’s critique of intellect, and argues for a universe of many real, loosely connected things.
Late James at his most speculative and most readable, picturing a world still in the making. Download the free EPUB.
