(Uncorrected OCR) Abstract of thesis entitled 'William James' Psychological Philosophy' submitted by Kwok Hang Wah Yvonne for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in November 2002 The aim of this thesis is to suggest a way to better understand William James' philosophy by recognising its relation with his evolutionary psychology. In order to clarify James' version of 'evolutionary psychology', I will present it in contrast to Herbert Spencer's biological psychology. In Chapter Two, I will discuss how Spencer establishes his development hypothesis and how he unders

Abstract:
This thesis argues that William James's view of science is crucial for an understanding of his position on such philosophical questions as truth and religious belief. It attempts to show how he assimilated certain doctrines of science, in particular, positivist science, within his pragmatic philosophy. The aim throughout is to show how his views on such fundamental questions can be better understood and evaluated. This thesis is divided into three parts. Part One is an exploration of the main elements of James's view of science. The discussion includes an examination of James's account of scie

Cette thèse aborde la question de la continuité de la conscience chez William James, en vue de ses possibles actualisations. En particulier, la tentative est de délimiter, de façon critique, les réflexions et les influences principales qui caractérisent le discours de James. Dans le sillage de la théorie de l'évolution de Darwin, les réflexions de James émergèrent dans le champ de la psychologie physiologique de la fin du 19ème siècle, où il développa de plus en plus intensément l'exigence d'une épistémologie renouvelée et d'un nouveau cadre métaphysique pour comprendre les théories et les déc

Assim, psicologia e filosofia se apoiam mutuamente na tarefa de solucionar problemas fundamentais da existência humana.

In this paper, the author offers an analysis of the evolution in Mariano Iberico’s moral philosophy that would have happened between two of his publications in the decade of the twenties. In the first publication, Iberico defends a morality of a dualistic type, giving birth to an ideal on the basis of overcoming the existential self along with its interests, needs and urgencies. A metaphysical type of morality would have been the result of such a claim. Six years later, on the other hand, the author presents a morality more understanding of the human contradiction, which does not demand the ov

There is a growing interest, within contemporary ethical and political philosophy, in the theories of the classical American pragmatists. One of the reasons for this interest is the pragmatist’s tendency to ground normative notions such as “right”, “good” and “truth” within human practices, without thereby reducing such notions to those human practices. This thesis addresses a gap in this literature by articulating and defending an account of pragmatist ethics based in the work William James.

This thesis is a critical comparison of the accounts of religious belief proposed by William James and Søren Kierkegaard. Both James and Kierkegaard greatly emphasize the subjective aspects of religious belief. In view of this fact, surprisingly little comparative work has been done in this area. I contribute to this literature in two ways. Firstly, I make a brief assessment of what James knew of Kierkegaard’s work. Secondly, I draw four comparisons between Kierkegaard and James.

Abstract:
La thèse explore les liens entre subjectivité, biographie, autobiographie, psychologie, et philosophie morale chez William James. Elle fait appel à des éléments d’histoire des sciences, de biologie évolutionniste, de psychologie scientifique et clinique, de philosophie, pour traiter des relations entre le subjectif et l’objectif, dans une perspective scientifique ainsi que morale. Le premier chapitre décrit la formation de James, ses voyages et rencontres, dans le contexte des controverses autour de la biologie évolutionniste. Le chapitre suivant est consacré à Alice James, les relations entre

La philosophie de james emprunte d'abord une voie psychologique qui decrit la conscience comme un flux de multiplicites intensives; ensuite, une voie metaphysique - "l'empirisme radical" - qui decrit le monde en termes d'"experiences pures" comme un champ d'immanence peuple d'evenements; enfin, une voie pragmatique qui propose une methode d'evaluation et de construction des idees en fonction de notre pratique. James n'est pas le theoricien de l'opportunisme economique ou politique, suivant la definition courante du terme "pragmatisme". Comment degager le lien entre ces axes distincts? il faut

2012/2013<br>William James e Carl Stumpf. Un rapporto scientifico e personale attraverso le lettere Come annuncia senza equivoci il titolo di questo lavoro, tema della nostra ricerca è il rapporto scientifico e personale che William James e Carl Stumpf hanno sviluppato nel corso degli anni, a partire dal loro primo incontro praghese, e che si è realizzato quasi solo del tutto in forma epistolare. Punto centrale è stato (anche) per questa ragione lo studio della loro corrispondenza, attraverso la quale è stato possibile tenere unita la prospettiva cronologica insieme allo sguardo sugli as

Abstract:
The term “pragmatism” has been used and abused by doctrines that are even contradictory among them. For the founder of Pragmatism as a philosophicaltradition, Charles Peirce, this situation might seem a sad misunderstanding, and that is why he came up with the term “pragmaticism” in order to distinguish his own particular version of Pragmatism. However, Peirce himself did not leave a systematic treaty that explained what kind of specific conditions distinguish his pragmatism from other versions. In this essay I introduce some criteria that I deem fundamental to disambiguate the meaning of Prag

Abstract:
The two questions that motivate the present inquiry are: is it possible that human beings will freely, and what does free will make possible? John Duns Scotus and William James are two defenders of the possibility of free will, although each has a very different notion of the will. First, I present the accounts of the will articulated by Duns Scotus and James, with attention to the context in which the accounts were developed and the reasons each philosopher gives for the possibility of free will. Next, I briefly consider the picture of human action each account of the will makes possible. The

Abstract:
The need was identified to develop an analytical performance prediction code for subsonic multistage axial compressors that can be included in network analysis software. It was found that performance calculations based on an elementary one-dimensional meanline prediction method could achieve remarkable accuracy, provided that sound models are used for the losses, deviation and the onset of rotating stall. Consequently, this study focuses on gaining more expertise on the modelling of losses in such compressors through investigating the mechanisms responsible, the methods of predicting them, the

This thesis is about expanded narrative, a new field of experimental narrative practices that are not represented by single subjects or by categories such as ‘interactive’. It is defined by works that present a challenge to the form, fiction or nonfiction, in terms of the content, structure, style of writing or audience engagement. Extending the cognitive term ‘perceptual multistability’, that refers to switching between interpretations experienced when we look at an ambiguous figures, such as, the Necker cube, this thesis develops the position that expanded narrative practices and specificall

Abstract:
This thesis will show that, in its original form, “The Turn of the Screw” acted as a monument to the intellectual unity shared between Henry James and his brother William. Through evaluating James’ biography, memoirs, and letters with William, this thesis will illustrate the subtle collaborative inspirations that initially helped James write the first twelve-part serial edition of “The Turn of the Screw” for Collier’s Weekly, which ran from January 27, 1898 until April 16, 1898.
