description | In the 5 years before 1878, when his career in psychology
was becoming established, William James wrote a series of notes and
reviews assessing the work of many of the pioneers in the new field.
Adopting a public and confident voice, even while he was privately
still uncertain and searching, James criticized the dogmatism of
positivist and idealist claims to the study of the human brain and
mind. In his short writings of 1873-1877, James started to
formulate his own middle path. His first steps on that path show
that he did not reject either scientific or philosophic inquiry;
instead, he viewed scientific knowledge as a way to understand
philosophical questions more deeply. Saving his sharpest critiques
for positivism, James endorsed scientific investigation without
materialist assumptions. While his career in psychology was still
only a hope, James treated science as a means toward humanist
insight. |
