• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Agreeable Leading: William James as a Guide for Life explores one of the most enduring human questionsdo we truly have free will? Arguing against a deterministic, materialist universe, the author draws from the pragmatic philosophy of William James to offer a more expansive vision: a pluralistic reality in which consciousness is not confined, but receptivecapable of drawing insight from beyond itself.

With clarity and conviction, the book weaves philosophical reasoning with lived experience, introducing James's concept of "agreeable leading" as a practical, life-enhancing approach. True ideas, in this view, are not measured only by logic, but by their power to inspire meaningful action and harmonious living.

This is both a primer on Jamesian pragmatism and a spiritual reflection for our time. More than a theoretical treatise, it is a deeply personal invitation to live with freedom, openness, and purposeexactly the book the author wishes he had encountered in his youth, and now offers to you.
