description: The Meaning of Truth is a philosophical work by the renowned American philosopher, psychologist, and educator William James. Published in 1909, the book explores the nature of truth and its significance for human life. James argues that truth is not a static, objective reality but rather a dynamic, evolving process that emerges from the interaction between the human mind and the world. He also examines the role of truth in religion, science, and morality, and explores the ways in which different perspectives on truth can lead to conflict or cooperation. Throughout the book, James emphasizes the importance of tolerance, open-mindedness, and a willingness to embrace uncertainty in the pursuit of truth. The Meaning of Truth is a seminal work in the field of philosophy and remains a relevant and thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions of human existence.It suffers badly at present from incomplete definition. Its most systematic advocates, Schiller and Dewey, have published fragmentary programmes only; and its bearing on many vital philosophic problems has not been traced except by adversaries who, scenting heresies in advance, have showered blows on doctrines-- subjectivism and scepticism, for example--that no good humanist finds it necessary to entertain. By their still greater reticences, the anti-humanists have, in turn, perplexed the humanists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
