Review of 'Essays in radical empiricism. --' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

The good parts of this I'd seen elsewhere. The rest is a lot of miscellany, including many examples of James's replies to the criticisms of other philosophers. Without the presence of the antagonists, though, these often read like overhearing one side of a telephone conversation. Oh yeah, and one of the essays is in French. So, all in all, not the favorite W.J. I've read by any means.
