    Memories and Portraits: Explorations in American Thought By Howard G. Callaway
    Transactions of the Charles S. Peirce Society 47 (4): 534-537. 2011.

And the need to put philosophical ideas in their larger historical and cultural context so as to fully understand them is, as will be illustrated below, a facet of his philosophical method. Another of its facets is fallibilism, a deep commitment to subjecting all theories and concepts (in any field) to incessant scrutiny, testing, correction, and clarificatio…Read more

As it happened, though, in the course of these lectures James…Read more

    Jonathan Edwards & William James on religion
    William James Studies 9 (1). 2012.
    Jonathan Edwards and William James were preoccupied with religion, and both responded in print, and profoundly, to religious crises in their own cultures: Edwards wrote his Treatise on Religious Affections in response to the hysteria and factionalism spawned by the Great Awakening, and James his Varieties of Religious Experience in reaction to the crisis in faith afflicting his generation. Edwards in Religious Affections provides a model of emotional religion that is neither anti-intellectual no…Read more
