  William James - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William James was born in New York, son of Henry James, Sr.
James studied medicine, physiology, and biology, and began to teach in those subjects, but was drawn to the scientific study of the human mind at a time when psychology was constituting itself as a science.
James is one of the two namesakes of the James-Lange theory of emotion, which he formulated independently of Carl Lange in the 1880s.

 Britannia: Monarchs of Britain
James II was born in 1633, the third son of Charles I and Henrietta Maria.
James was deposed in 1688, and died from a cerebral hemorrhage in 1701.
James stood in dark contrast to his predecessor, Charles: James, although valiant in battle until his later years, lacked his brother's good nature, and remained a staunch adherent to the Roman Catholic faith.

 William James's Pragmatic Theory of David Louzecky
James is well aware of the absurdity of both the claim that in general desires render beliefs rational and the claim that in general we can voluntarily choose our beliefs.
James does, of course, say things which suggest that he sees religion as a lifestyle; but, as far as I can tell, he never says it is nothing but a lifestyle.
James is a tough‑minded empiricist: whenever there is evidence for or against a belief, the hypothesis is dead; that is, there is no voluntary belief choice and no possibility of justifying the belief by appeals to desires.

 Biological Consciousness and the Experience of the Transcendent
James [see figure 50] was, first of all heir to the older moral philosophy.
William James fell heir to this Swedenborgian and transcendentalist literary psychology (see Henry James's The Secret of Swedenborg [58] and William James's edition of the Literary Remains of the Late Henry James [59]), but was forced to square its religious epistemology with the more rigorous scientific dictates of his own age.
James was not so naive, however, that he thought he had solved the mind/body dilemma originally posed so trenchantly by Descartes.

 Cross Currents: A terrible good: William James, Charles Williams and divided consciousness
James characterizes the sudden conversion as a phenomenon long prepared for in the unconscious, with "the tension of subliminal memories reaching the bursting-point" and issuing in a profound and decisive change.
James, of course, has always had the wider reputation and influence, but there are biographical and intellectual points of contact; in particular, both writers convey a strong sense of religion as felt experience.
Williams' appeal is selective, and exerts itself particularly on readers who feel trapped in their own subjectivity; others maybe put off by his debts to genre fiction and his immersion in Anglo-Catholic sensibility.

 Malaspina Great Books - William James (1842)
American philosopher, son of the Swedenborgian theologian Henry James, and brother of the novelist Henry James, was born on the 11th of January 1842 at New York City.
James concludes in the end that from the perspective of science, religious experiences - as worthy as they might be - must be viewed and understood basically as psychological phenomena arising, in an hypothesis he later develops, from interactions between the conscious and something more which James identifies as a wider subconscious self.
James is interested primarily in the phenomenon of faith-state and its manifestation as religious experience and does his best to separate out from his observations the influence of religion as such.

 Boston Collaborative Encyclopedia of Western Theology: William James
William James was the first child, born in 1842 (the year of the elder William’s death), and Henry, Jr.
James defines a genuine option to be one in which the hypothesis has some plausibility for the potential believer, there is no possibility of not choosing (i.e., the choice to withhold judgment is, in effect, the same as a rejection of the belief), and the stakes are high.
James treats the personal rather than institutional aspect of religion and defines it, for the purposes of his lecture, as “the feelings, act, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine.” (James, 1984, p.

They died from old age when William was just barely reaching maturity, but had instilled in him a reverence for natural death and the circle of life, so he had no need to mourn their deaths, and went about building a home for himself to the proportions that his now giant body required.
William was dismayed by this reaction, and spent more than a few days composing himself, but, being William, he was soon back to his jolly old self, defending the defenseless in the forest, and carried on as such for almost 100 years, nearly forgetting the incident in the town.
William followed the racket to its source, and found a female bear that was almost as big as he was attacking a poor defenseless human.

 William James - Biography, Chronology, and Photographs
William James was born in New York City on January 11, 1842, to an affluent, cosmopolitan, and deeply religious family.
James had warned Alice that, should she deign to accept his proposal of marriage, she should be well aware of his mental condition.
James himself was aware of "how odd it must seem to some of you to hear me say that an idea is 'true' so long as to believe it is profitable to our lives," and he worked both to clarify his definition of pragmatism and to emphasize the moral element that accompanies it.

 William James
William James was an original thinker in and between the disciplines of physiology, psychology and philosophy.
James maintains that this thought is a natural human response to the universe, independent of any proof that God exists, and he predicts that God will be the "centre of gravity of all attempts to solve the riddle of life" (WB, 116).
James sets out a central distinction of the book in early chapters on "The Religion of Healthy-Mindedness" and "The Sick Soul." The healthy-minded religious person — Walt Whitman is one of James's main examples — has a deep sense of "the goodness of life," (79) and a soul of "sky-blue tint" (80).

James, I think, regarded her as honest and worthy of study, although he was never fully convinced that her performances, or those of any other person, gave complete assurance of the existence of genuinely supernormal powers.
James was faithful to significant fact in its minuteness as well as to widening Truth with its reach.
In the laboratory it was plain that James had neither flai nor patience for experimental work, and that he didn't care who knew it; he was a flat failure at pretense.

William James was born in New York city in 1842 to a priviledged family.
James began, in 1883, to develop a view and practice of psychology and its clinical procedures.
He thought these topics were empirical, not dialectical; James went directly to religious experience for the nature of God, to psychical research for survival after death, to fields of belief and action for free will and determinism.

 Amazon.com: William James : Writings 1902-1910 : The Varieties of Religious Experience / Pragmatism / A Pluralistic ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
James was a wide-ranging writer -- not only did he take psychology and philosophy seriously, but also religion, including mysticism -- hence the title _The Varities of Religious Experience._ James was no ivory-tower egghead: he even tried mescaline once (although he admits he barfed it up).
In this work James' own particular mental crisis is included, as is his development of the concept of 'twice- born'of that kind of human being who having gone through the dark night of the soul, emerges to see the world with a depth of understanding those 'once born' cannot know.
Readers interested in James would do better to pick up a copy of the "Writings of William James" edited by John J. McDermott (whose own introduction to James is also far superior to that of the editor of this volume).

 The Book of James: William James’s lectures on religion, a century later
James recounts scores of examples in his book; at least a third of his lectures retell and analyze stories of conversion and saintliness.
James showed little patience for what he considered self-absorbed piety: He was most impressed by believers whose experience of God rescued them from destructive lifestyles and launched them into acts of service.
“The saints, with their extravagance of human tenderness, are the great torch-bearers of this belief, the tip of the wedge, the clearers of the darkness.” In the end, it seems, James reached a generous judgment of religion—not in spite of his hard-nosed scholarship, but because of it.
