Essays in radical empiricism
Book • 2010
This work presents a series of essays that delve into the concept of radical empiricism, which asserts that experience includes both particulars and relations between those particulars.
James argues that consciousness is not a separate entity but a function within the context of experiences, and he introduces the concept of 'pure experience' to redefine the relationship between thought and reality.
The essays challenge existing philosophical paradigms by emphasizing that our worldview does not need extraneous trans-empirical connective support but possesses a concatenated or continuous structure based on experience itself.
