Essays in Radical Empiricism

by William James

Edited by Ralph Barton Perry

"Essays in Radical Empiricism" by William James is a collection of philosophical essays published posthumously in 1912. Assembled by colleague Ralph Barton Perry from journal articles James wrote between 1904-1905, the work explores James's radical empiricism philosophy. Because James never finalized the collection himself, and Perry modified the original selection, the essays don't form a systematic exposition. This circumstance, combined with James's evolving philosophical views, has led to widely varying interpretations and debates about radical empiricism's true meaning and significance.
