The Will to Believe

Více o knize

Exploring the intersection of philosophy and psychology, this work presents William James's argument for the legitimacy of belief in the absence of empirical evidence. He advocates for the idea that faith can be justified in certain contexts, particularly when decisions are pivotal and outcomes uncertain. Through a series of lectures, James examines the implications of belief on personal agency and moral responsibility, encouraging readers to consider the value of conviction in shaping human experience and understanding.
