Summary

Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking by William James is a unique work in American philosophy. This collection of lectures James himself delivered at the dawn of the twentieth century has been a landmark in the development of the philosophical movement of pragmatism. This summary includes a biography, a key synopsis, and an insightful analysis of the main distinctive points of pragmatism as a mediating system opposed to rationalism and empiricism, the dominant philosophies of that era. Suitable for students and any reader interested in clarifying the basic notions of absolute monism and empirical pluralism and in studying the critical approach to old systems of thought by one of the founders of pragmatism, William James.

Includes:

  • A brief background of the author and the work
  • Overview, synopsis, and analysis
  • Historical context, criticisms, and social impact
  • Chapter-by-chapter summary
  • The full narration of the text

This audiobook is suitable for students and anyone interested in contemporary philosophy.

Not full audiobook

Half way through the audio book a message is played saying that you can get the full book elsewhere. Then the first chapter then starts playing again.

Unfortunately I purchased this book in 2018 and only got around to listening to it in full this year. As a result I can no longer get a refund as too much time has passed.

Very difficult to listen to.

Very difficult to listen to. The narration is stoccatto and jarring with poor intonation. could not finish.
