"Enriched by a wealth of bibliographical documentation - the author has a solid grip on James's unpublished materials and manuscripts, which he puts in productive dialogue with most well known pages of his work -, the book will be both a superb introduction to James's practical philosophy for newcomers as well as an indispensable guide for more seasoned readers of his oeuvre." (Sarin Marchetti, European Journal of Pragmatism and American Philosophy, Vol. 7 (2), 2015)
