Reviews

"The author draws convincing and original connections among James's psychological, Darwinian biological, epistemological, and religious views. James's individualism marks the sharpest way in which he breaks with the traditions of modern philosophy and Pawelski helps us understand this aspect of James's view." - Harvey Cormier, author of The Truth Is What Works: William James, Pragmatism, and the Seed of Death "This is an important and needed contribution to the scholarship on James. Pawelski deals firmly and respectfully with existing literature on the topic and balances close textual analysis with a broad assessment of James's career, numerous works, and intellectual development." - Michael J. McGandy, author of The Active Life: Miller's Metaphysics of Democracy
