“Francesca Bordogna’s book begins with a memorable account of William James’s astonishing appearance at the 1906 meeting of the American Philosophical Association, where he challenged members to undertake a survey of ‘the limits of human power,’ a survey that he thought would transform philosophy. James failed, but Bordogna’s remarkable book, by returning us to that challenge, and by sketching out the paths not taken since then, might well prove to be itself transformational and even rejuvenative.”
(Geoffrey Harpham, Director, National Humanities Center)“I learned a great deal from this wonderful history of James’s involvement in the shaping of the academy and intellectual thought. I can imagine telling any and all of my students in philosophy—as well as psychology or neuroscience—that if you want to understand your discipline, how it came to be as it is, then read this splendid book.”
(Owen Flanagan, Duke University)“Francesca Bordogna convincingly argues that current dissatisfaction with the twentieth century’s specialization and professional neutrality in regard to morality and social issues has created an epistemological space for revisiting James’s model of keeping the boundaries between philosophy and science permeable. Her challenging and thought-provoking book is strikingly original and carefully researched. By placing James squarely at the creative intersection of the various disciplines, professions, and social activities of his time, she challenges the newly rigidified disciplinary habits that we instead inherited. This thought-provoking work makes an important contribution to the history of science and psychology.”
