However, few Americans living in this third millennium have ever heard of James, despite the fact that his profound insights into the human psyche are now more urgently needed than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But before James' insights can once more become available, a barrier to their reception must be removed. What barrier? James' \"productive paradoxes.\" That's what Allport charitably called them. 'They' were more than paradoxes, however. They were the pervasive contradictions in James' thought. To rescue his insights from entangling contradictions, the first step must be to draw attention to common sense, the foundation of all 'scientific' learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e James confessed that it was only in 1903, a few years before his death, that he realized for the first time \"the perfect magnificence as a philosophical achievement\" of our everyday, common-sense thinking. This book draws together the threads of James' ideas about such elements of common-sense as consciousness, language, meaning, learning, space, time, and thought itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.53 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 09, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47345318658297,"sku":"9780595529377","price":20.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Uk9HYlJJT093QTNWVW00cjlaYXlUUT09.webp?v=1769742653","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/william-james-on-common-sense-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
