William James was one of the most remarkable intellectuals of his day—an influential philosopher and psychologist who was also a charismatic teacher, groundbreaking scholar, and widely admired public figure. William James Remembered brings together the reminiscences of James by family members, friends, and colleagues. The result is a many-sided portrait of a man who, besides playing a crucial role in American life during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, remains an animating spirit in our own time.
