Description

William James, MD: A philosopher, psychologist, and psychical researcher, William James is known for his contributions to American thought. However, less well-known are the medical themes that united his multiple identities and drove his ambition.

Emma Sutton's biography offers a new perspective on James's life, drawing on his personal correspondence, unpublished notebooks, and diaries. By exploring the intersection of medicine and philosophy, Sutton sheds light on the cultural significance of James's ideas and their relevance to contemporary thought.

This book provides an in-depth account of James's medical fixations and their impact on his work, challenging readers to reconsider the boundaries between mind, body, and soul.
