Ferguson analyzes the interplay between American and European philosophical traditions at the turn of the century, highlighting James's anti-imperialist stance. By revealing James's unconventional political ideas, the author argues that pluralism, rather than uniformity, should be the aim of political and philosophical discourse, offering fresh insights into 20th-century political philosophy.
