Be Practical! William James and the Philosophy of: Does It Work?


William James the American Philospher and Psychologist was one of the major proponents of the philosophy of Pragmatism.
The author of the seminal The Varieties of Religious Experience, he was primarily interested in the Cash Value of ideas.
Here is a great quote from Dr. James from the Will to Believe and Other Essays(1897)
"Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact."
Later,
