Although philosophers have analyzed radical empiricism, this book is the first to trace the development of radical empiricism as a metaphysics addressed to psychologists. It is also the first to show James's involvement in depth-psychology and psychotherapeutics and to trace historical continuity between James's work on consciousness and subsequent developments in psychoanalysis, personality theory, and humanistic psychology.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the turn of the twentieth century, William James was America's most widely read philosopher.
