Excerpt from The Letters of William James, Vol. 1 of 2James was a great reader of biographies himself, and pointed again and again to the folly of judging a man's ideas by minute logical and textual examinations, without appro hending his mental attitude sympathetically. He was well aware that every man's philosophy is biased by his feelings, and is not due to purely rational processes. He was quite incapable himself of the cool kind of abstraction that comes from indifference about the issue. Life spoke to him in even more ways than to most men, and he responded to its superabundant confusion with passion and insatiable curi osity. His spiritual development was a matter of intense personal experience.So students of his books may even find that this collection of informal and intimate utterances helps them to under stand James as a philosopher and psychologist.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
