Maybe James didn't really understand C S Pierce, but he was that rare thing, a readable philosopher. ( ) I can’t “rate” this book because I only understood a tiny fraction of it. It’s a series of 8 lectures, and I had the impression it was not delivered to professional philosophers or even to philosophy students - but the attendees must have been quite well educated if they had any chance of comprehending the lectures. The book was published in 1907 but I think the lectures may have been given several years before that. Anyway, I “read” the book in some sense but vast portions were completely meaningless to me. Oh well. I’m really fascinated by philosophy, but so much of it is impenetrable for me. This reread helped me to realize just how fundamental this book is to Richard Rorty's more recent formulation of pragmatism, and to his book Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature. A lot seems antiquated in James (e.g. his use of humanism as a stand in for pragmatism), but his discussion of Truth/truth, his attempts to resist charges of idealism, his approach to defining a material world that is not there to be corresponded to and that is not o be ignored except at one's own hazard, his repeated emphasis on the consequences of pragmatism are all core building blocks for Rorty (and, yes, many other neo-pragmatists). aucune critique | ajouter une critique
