This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.
This Core Concept video focuses on William James' set of lectures, "Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking", specifically on lecture 2, "What Pragmatism Means", and discusses the relationship between pragmatism and two other general approaches in philosophy his audience would be very familiar with - empiricism and rationalism. In his view, pragmatism is a radical form of empiricism

Thanks for this video! Currently finishing up my bachelors in Philosophy. Last semester I was able to take a course on religious experiences. We covered James (will to believe and varieties). This was super helpful.
