Webster's edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of difficult and potentially ambiguous English words. Rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority compared to "difficult, yet commonly used" words. Rather than supply a single translation, many words are translated for a variety of meanings in Portuguese, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of English, and avoid using the notes as a pure translation crutch. Having the reader decipher a word's meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not translated on a page, chances are that it has been translated on a previous page.

William James was a notable psychologist and philosopher, and here he puts forth the theory that ideas are only valid to the extent that they have practical ramifications. It rejects rationalism and the pursuit of one discoverable truth. This was a dominant perspective amongst the modern elite of the time.

This book contains the result of James s life-long ambition to write a book presenting his philosophy in systematic form. Due to his ill health and subsequent demise, the writing of this book was never completed, and what had been written was authorised to be published whilst James still had the ability to do so. Aptly subtitled "A Beginning of an Introduction to Philosophy," the remaining text is a mixture containing both sections suitable for a beginners and some that are decidedly more technical. A fascinating attempt at the integration of James s primary philosophical ideas of pragmatism and radical empiricism, this rare book will interest both aspiring students of philosophy and collectors of James s seminal work. William James was an influential philosopher and psychologist, who was also the first person to offer a psychology course in the United States. This scarce book was originally published in 1912 and is proudly republished now with a new biography of the author."

Jenny R: Where is James' quote from: "Our lives are like islands in the sea or like trees in the forest.... We are both a forest and a single tree--one big Trembling Giant, stirred by an
invisible breeze."
