William James’s Theory of Truth

The Monist 75 (4):569-579 (1992)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

William James's theory of truth is far more subtle than it is generally thought to be. It cannot be dismissed in the easy and offhand manner in which some of James's critics have dismissed it. Their criticisms, for the most part, confuse the problem of defining truth with that of formulating the conditions of adequacy for a definition of truth.
