Description
In diesem Band wird erstmals der Versuch unternommen, das für die europäische Rezeption der amerikanischen Philosophie des Pragmatismus bis heute einflußreichste Werk dem Leser durch eine auf dieses Werk konzentrierte Sammlung von kommentierenden Beiträgen unter den philosophischen Bedingungen unserer Zeit näherzubringen. Das Werk, das hier im Mittelpunkt steht, ist „Pragmatism. A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking“. Es besteht aus acht Vorlesungen, die sein Verfasser, William James, 1906/07 in Cambridge und Boston gehalten und kurz danach publiziert hat. William James konfrontiert darin seit langem bestehende Richtungen in der Philosophie mit der pragmatischen Methode, indem er fordert, daß philosophische Gedanken nach ihrer Beziehung zum Leben und nach ihren Wirkungen in der Welt der Erfahrung zu beurteilen seien. James' Argumente haben auf das Denken einen tiefgreifenden Einfluß gehabt, das Buch „Pragmatism“ zählt seit seinem Erscheinen zu den großen Büchern der Philosophie.
