Exploring the intersection of philosophy and politics, this work reevaluates William James's contributions beyond his reputation as a pragmatist. Ferguson delves into the historical significance of pluralism in the U.S. and England, highlighting the interplay between early 20th-century American and European thought. The book reveals James's anti-imperialist stance and argues for pluralism as a more desirable political and philosophical goal than unity, offering fresh insights into 20th-century political philosophy and contemporary political discourse.
