RE: Cash Value of Our Ideas (Intro to William James)
James was a phenomenologist, eh? Would you say he was an Idealist or materialist -radical- empiricist? I have read The Varieties of Religious Experience?, but it was a long time ago.....
I would call James a strange mixture of Kantian phenomenology, minus the absolute nature of Kantian ontology, with that of Hume and what many have argued is an American Indian influence. This mixture is what James called his "Radical Empiricism".
That was my impression, Thank-you....
