Excerpt from An Examination of William James's Philosophy: A Critical Essay for the General Reader Although in writing this essay I have had in view that large and fortunately increasing number of readers who feel a sincere interest in philosophy, and for whom James himself must always remain its leading exponent, still I have aimed at neither an introduction nor an exposition, except in so far as these are necessary to criticism, some degree of acquaintance, therefore, with James's own works is required, but that I believe is not far to Seek. But the question will be raised: Why thus at all attempt to criticise James, and at such length? Why not rather rejoice in the success of his treatment of subjects inevitably abstruse, and in the universal interest in them which he aroused? Certainly no one can lament more than myself the prevalent limitation of philosophical study to so small a circle, necessary though specialists are in this as in all other spheres of thought, nor again would it be right were I to conceal my own intellectual indebtedness to James's writing.
