Description

William Jamesā€™ celebrated lecture on ā€œThe Will to Believeā€ has kindled spirited controversy since the day it was delivered. In this lively reappraisal of that controversy, Father Oā€™Connell contributes some fresh contentions: that Jamesā€™ argument should be viewed against his indebtedness to Pascal and Renouvier; that it works primarily to validate our ā€œover-beliefsā€ ; and most surprising perhaps, that James envisages our ā€œpassional natureā€ as intervening, not after, but before and throughout, our intellectual weighing of the evidence for belief.
