Will To Believe And Other Essays In Popular Philosophy by William James

and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy

A collection of essays arguing that when evidence cannot settle a genuine, forced, and momentous choice, it is permissible — and sometimes necessary — to decide on the basis of one’s passional nature; the book blends psychology, ethics, and pragmatist philosophy to defend faith, moral commitment, and free will against strict evidentialism and determinism, while exploring how belief shapes experience and guides action in human life.
