William James and the Art of Popular Statement

Informationen zum Autor PAUL STOB is Associate Professor and Chair of Communication Studies at Vanderbilt University. Klappentext At the turn of the twentieth century, no other public intellectual was as celebrated in America as William James. Sought after around the country, James developed his ideas in lecture halls and via essays and books intended for general audiences. The "popular statement" he developed in these venues gave those he addressed a central role in the pursuit of knowledge and fostered a new intellectual curiosity in them unlike any scholar before or since.
