Widely regarded as the father of American psychology, William James is by any measure a mammoth presence on the stage of pragmatist philosophy. But despite his indisputable influence on philosophical thinkers of all genders, men remain the movers and shakers in the Jamesian universewhile women exist primarily to support their endeavors and serve their needs. How could the philosophy of William James, a man devoted to Victorian ideals, be used to support feminism?Feminist Interpretations of William James lays out the elements of Jamess philosophy that are particularly problematic for feminism, offers a novel feminist approach to Jamess ethical philosophy, and takes up epistemic contestations in and with Jamess pragmatism. The results are surprising. In short, Jamess philosophy can prove useful for feminist efforts to challenge sexism and male privilege, in spite of James himself.In this latest installment of the ReReading the Canon series, contributors appeal to William Jamess controversial texts not simply as an exercise in feminist critique but in the service of feminism.Along with the editors, the contributors are Jeremy Carrette, Lorraine Code, Megan Craig, Susan Dieleman, Jacob L. Goodson, Maurice Hamington, Erin McKenna, Jos Medina, and Charlene Haddock Seigfried.
