James argued that the love of singularities such as belief in one God, one method, one political system, or one value system contributes to extremist, even violent mentalities. In this book, James's views on singular versus pluralistic perspectives are explored and then applied to contemporary practical issues such as abortion, birth control, and death with dignity legislation. These perspectives are furthermore applied to more theoretical issues, such as causality, values, and methods or ways of investigating the world. Within \u003ci\u003eWilliam James's Pluralism\u003c\/i\u003e, these theories are investigated in a comprehensive philosophical and psychological examination of the human experience.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in a nontechnical manner to appeal to the general public-just as William James hoped for his pluralistic philosophy-this book is additionally of considerable interest to academics and students across many fields such as psychology, philosophy, history, and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wayne Viney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032228466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032228464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.42lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.29d","brand":"Wayne Viney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057201541375,"sku":"9781032228464","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6098f9b7-48ff-4274-8d5f-f89213536477.jpg?v=1685045614","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/william-jamess-pluralism-wayne-viney-9781032228464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
