    About this ebook

    Though unfinished at his death, Some Problems in Philosophy demonstrates the psychological insight and devotion to literary excellence that James brought to philosophy. Intended to serve both as a historical overview of metaphysics and a systematic statement of his philosophical beliefs, this volume is one of his seminal works. This edition includes a preface by the author's brother, Henry James.
