Reviews

This book is the first sustained attempt to take James's call for a lived philosophy at face value, both exploring the extent of James's own philosophical project and furthering it in ever new directions. As is clear from the reading of the various contributions, we are given a taste of what Jamesian philosophy might or should achieve rather than merely presenting what it promises to deliver. And this is clearly novel and extremely intriguing. - Sarin Marchetti, author of Ethics and Philosophical Critique in William James
