Abstract
The major focus of this work is on William James's insistence that unification should not be explored in the abstract as if it were one thing. Rather, unity should be understood in terms of its major kinds. There are unities and pluralities with respect to such topics as values, methods, causes, and prescriptions about what to read and study. This article explores James's mature position on unification as set forth in his major psychological and philosophical works and letters. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
这部著作的主要重点在于威廉-詹姆斯坚持认为,不应抽象地把统一当作一件事物来探讨。相反,应该从统一的主要类型来理解统一。在价值观、方法、原因以及关于阅读和研究什么的规定等主题方面,既有统一性,也有多元性。本文探讨了詹姆斯在其主要心理学和哲学著作及书信中阐述的关于统一性的成熟立场。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)。
