The Meaning Of Truth

The Meaning of Truth is a philosophical work by the renowned American philosopher and psychologist, William James. The book is a collection of essays that explore the nature of truth and its role in human life. James argues that truth is not an absolute, objective reality, but rather a subjective experience that is shaped by individual perspectives, beliefs, and experiences. He also examines the relationship between truth and knowledge, arguing that knowledge is not simply a matter of accumulating facts, but rather a dynamic process of inquiry and discovery. Throughout the book, James engages with a range of philosophical and scientific ideas, drawing on his own experiences as a psychologist and philosopher to offer a unique perspective on the nature of truth. The Meaning of Truth is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be widely read and discussed by scholars and students of philosophy and psychology.It suffers badly at present from incomplete definition. Its most systematic advocates, Schiller and Dewey, have published fragmentary programmes only; and its bearing on many vital philosophic problems has not been traced except by adversaries who, scenting heresies in advance, have showered blows on doctrines-- subjectivism and scepticism, for example--that no good humanist finds it necessary to entertain. By their still greater reticences, the anti-humanists have, in turn, perplexed the humanists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
