Pragmatism by William James (1842 - 1910)
This podcast presents a series of public lectures by William James on pragmatism, delivered in Boston in 1906-1907. James outlines his philosophical view of pragmatism, contrasting it with rationalism and other schools of thought. He focuses on the pragmatic theory of truth, arguing that true beliefs are those that help people in their daily lives. James contends that while reality exists independently, humans select which aspects are relevant and how they relate to each other.
