概要 This fourth volume of a projected 12 begins a new subset: James's correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues. The 309 letters start when James (1842-1910) was 14 and on his second trip abroad...and conclude when he was 35, negotiating with the president of Johns Hopkins U. about a course he had been invited to teach on the relation between mind and body. The letters, accompanied by editorial commentary, reveal his developing views on art, morality, politics, women, medicine, philosophy, science, religion, national character, the Civil War, the South, American abroad, and other writers and thinkers.

The fifth volume of James's collected letters (the editors project a total of 12) tracing his evolution into professional and personal maturity. James had an epistolary talent and the letters convey his intellectual and emotional life in a very personal manner, documenting his marriage to Alice Howe, his sister's breakdown, his battles within Harvard's philosophy department, his correspondence with scholars and editor which reveal the basis of his ideas for The Principles of Psychology and, perhaps most movingly, his reflections on his father's death.

The sixth in the projected 12-volume set continues a series of correspondence between James (1842-1910) and his family, friends, and colleagues that began in Volume Four. The 400 letters, with another 400 calendared, represent his complete correspondence for the four years during which he completed most of The Principles of Psychology and became directly involved with psychical research, about which he communicated with American trance mediums and European investigators. The years also saw the death of his oldest son and the birth of his daughter Margaret; letters to his wife Alice and her children dominate the volume because she was away from home for long periods. Well annotated. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
In this seventh volume of a projected 12-volume set, Skrupskelis (philosophy, U. of South Carolina and Vytautas Magnus U.), Elizabeth Berkeley (editorial coordinator, The Work of William James), and John McDermott (philosophy and humanities, Texas AandM U.) continue the series of James's correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues that began with Volume 4. About 488 letters, with an additional 510 calendared, offer a complete accounting of his correspondence for the years 1890-94, in which the chief events were the publication of the long-awaited Principles of Psychology and his major essay in ethics, "The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life."Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
In the latest of the projected dozen volumes, we find the American thinker struggling, never completely successfully, against various distractions in order to devote all his attention to philosophy, the first and great love of his life. The 530 letters reproduced and another 620 calendared continue the series of correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues that began in volume four, and document the reception of The Will to Believe, his effort to set out more formally his system of radical empiricism. c. Book News Inc.
Forging on through the projected 12 volumes, 470 letters to and from family, friends, and colleagues, and that many more calendered, account for all his known correspondence during the two year period. They cover James' (1842-1910) great collapse, his years of European exile searching for health, and the beginnings of his withdrawal from full time teaching at Harvard. It was during this time that, despite heat troubles, nervous prostration, and claims of inability to work, he delivered the Gifford Lectures (1902) that were published as what has become probably his most widely read book, The Varieties of Religious Experience. c. Book News Inc.
Consisting of some 572 letters with annotations, with another 460 summarized by date, this tenth volume in a projected set of 12 offers all of James's known correspondence during a pivotal period in his development as a philosopher. The introduction notes that among the torrent of philosophical works that James (1842-1910) wrote during a time of poor health were The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) and articles on what he called "radical empiricism." Skrupskelis (emeritus, philosophy, U. of South Carolina) and Berkeley (editorial coordinator, The Works of William James) include a chronology of the letters, many to novelist brother, Henry James, and fellow philosophers including Dewey, Schiller, and Bergson; a biographical register; textual record of major revisions; and James family tree.

Collecting James' correspondence with friends, family and colleagues, during a three-year period, this volume contains approximately 500 letters and references 650 more. Of special interest are James' letters to Lovejoy, Bradley, Schiller, Pierce, Carter, Beers, and Gorky. The letters address a range of topics, including philosophy and James' academic career, of course, but also discussing social problems spiritualism, diet, and marital intrigues. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The final volume of US philosopher and psychologist James' (1842-1910) correspondence with his family and friends documents his aging and illness. During the two years covered, he delivered in Oxford the Hibbert Lectures on the present condition of philosophy, which was published in 1908 as A Pluralistic Universe; wrote The Meaning of Truth defending his pragmatic conception of truth; and worked on a textbook on metaphysics that was published posthumously as Some Problems of Philosophy. His philosophical correspondents at the end of his life remained those he had nurtured earlier. In addition to the texts of the letters, explanatory notes for each letter, a calendar, a chronology of letters, a biographical register, and other scholarly paraphernalia are included.
