The European William James Project (EWJP) has been launched in order to bring together Jamesean scholarship on the Continent. It is linked with the William James Society (Boston, Mass.). Although its focus is overtly European, it does not exclude a priori any form of synergy with any open-minded scholar. The main goal of EWJP is to establish some cross-disciplinary networking between European scholars involved in Jamesean studies. All the different areas of knowledge in which his work has had some impact should be considered: psychology, philosophy, sociology, history of ideas, etc. The first manifestation of that target will be the organization of a small/medium conference to take place sometime in the Academic year 2002-2003. On that occasion, lectures, research seminars and workshops will be organized. Aims and practicalities of the European William James Project The EWJP, founded in June 2001, seeks to promote mainly under the guise of scientific meetings in Europe the study of the life and work of William James (1842-1910). Its basic structure is threefold : the "steering committee", the "scientific committee" and the "regular members". The Project is powered by a "steering committee" made up of four European scholars chosen by cooptation. The founding members are Jack Barbalet, Jaime Nubiola, Timothy L. S. Sprigge, and Michel Weber. Every year, starting in January 2003, one member volunteers to make his/her seat available. Provided that all four members agree on a candidate, the mandate passes to a newcomer. For his/her part, the exiting member becomes a senior member of the scientific committee.

Biological Consciousness and the Experience of the Transcendent: William James and American Functional Psychology Eugene Taylor Harvard University Medical School Reproduced by permission of the Author. All trends pertaining to the mind/body problem in the late 19th century, from both popular and high culture, seem now in retrospect to culminate in the functionalism of the American philosopher-psychologist, William James (1842-1910). Born in a New York hotel in 1842, eldest son of the eccentric religious philosopher, Henry James Sr. and older brother of Henry James, the novelist, William James received his early education in Europe and America at the hands of a polyglot assortment of private tutors, temporary school masters, and painting teachers, until he embarked upon regular instruction at Harvard in 1861 by joining the Lawrence Scientific School. He transferred to medicine in 1864 and was graduated with the M.D. in 1869. He then proceeded to make his career in psychology and philosophy over the next forty years. James [see figure 50] was, first of all heir to the older moral philosophy. The great Concord sage, Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) had been his god-father and a close friend of Henry James Sr. (1811-1882). In

William James American philosopher, son of the Swedenborgian theologian Henry James, and brother of the novelist Henry James , was born on the 11th of January 1842 at New York City. He graduated M.D. at Harvard in 1870. Two years after he was appointed a lecturer at Harvard in anatomy and physiology, and later in psychology and philosophy. Subsequently he became assistant professor of philosophy (1880 - 1885), professor (1885 - 1889), professor of psychology (1889 - 1897) and professor of philosophy (1897 - 1907). In 1899 - 1901 he delivered the Gifford lectures on natural religion at the university of Edinburgh, and in 1908 the Hibbert lectures at Manchester College, Oxford. With the appearance of his Principles of Psychology (2 vols., 1890), James at once stepped into the front rank of psychologists as a leader of the physical school, a position which he maintained not only by the brilliance of his analogies but also by the freshness and unconventionality of his style. In metaphysics he upheld the idealist position from the empirical standpoint. Beside the Principles of Psychology , which appeared in a shorter form in 1892 (Psychology), his chief works are: The Will to Believe Human Immortality (Boston, 1898);

The Varieties of Religious Experience Modern Library Top 100 Non-Fiction Books of the 20th Century Author Info: William James He's just like a blob of mercury, you cannot put a mental finger on him. -Alice James , speaking of her brother, William. William James' masterwork is based on a series of lectures on "natural religion" that he delivered at the University of Edinburgh in 1901. He defined religion as "the feelings, acts, and experiences of individual men in their solitude, so far as they apprehend themselves to stand in relation to whatever they may consider the divine." He is the great enunciator of the idea that all religions are equally valid and valuable, that since they can contain no animating truths, they should be measured merely by their effects on individuals. He is profoundly wrong. He is wrong in the way that all of the great artists of the Romantic period, from Wordsworth, Shelley and Keats to Picasso, are wrong, in his emphasis on the individual and his denial of the universal and the absolute. James offers a view of religion as a wholly personal matter, the utility of which lies in its benefits for each person. Like all of his intellectual cohorts, he had lost faith in universal truth. Indeed, one biographer has suggested that the succession of short term jobs that he held lead him to posit the equal value of all experiences. Because of this crisis of faith, he was unable to make judgments about the truth or value of different religious beliefs or ultimately to believe that any belief system had value beyond the effects on individual believers.

57. WILLIAM JAMES BIOGRAPHY I William James 18421910. William James was a physician, naturalist,artist, psychologist, philosopher, religious thinker, psychic http://website.lineone.net/~williamjames1/

William James William James was a physician, naturalist, artist, psychologist, philosopher, religious thinker, psychic researcher, drug experimenter, writer, lecturer, and professor. One of the most influential Americans of his time, his impact remains undiminished 90 years after his death, primarily through his classic 1902 book, "The Varieties of Religious Experience." A man of foreceful intellect but deep emotional conflicts, James attempted to balance his rational mind with his intense need to create spiritual meaning in his life. The following resource contains a brief description of main landmarks in the life and work of William James, who is considered to be the father of modern American psychology. William James: Early Years William James was born on January 11, 1842, in New York City. During his boyhood and adolescence, he moved with his family from New York to London, Geneva, Paris, Boulognesur-mer, Newport, Dresden, and Boston before finally settling down in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1866. Such travel was made possible by the inherited wealth of his remarkable father, Henry James, Sr. The elder James believed strongly that his children should receive the best possible education, but could never quite decide what that was. After trying several private schools and home tutoring in New York, he concluded that a European education would be superior. Then he began an odyssey in which his five children attended different schools in Europe and America. No school ever worked out quite as well as had been hoped. Nevertheless, the children were familiar with several different languages and cultures, and also greatly benefited from stimulating home environment. Everyone was encouraged to engage in intellectual discussions, to express opinions freely, and to be prepared to defend them. They also listened and talked to such frequenters of their household as Thoreau, Emerson, Greeley, Hawthorne, Carlyle, Tennyson, and J.S.Mill. Henry James, Sr., to his friends' horror, even allowed his children to attend theatre.

Web Version JAMES, WILLIAM Psychologist and philosopher; considered by some the "father" of American psychology and also of American pragmatism. Born in New York City, the son of theologian Henry James, Sr. (1811-1882), William James had a wideranging education that began with home schooling by his unconventional father and included studies in England, France, Switzerland, and Germany between 1855-1860 (often with his younger brother, Henry, the novelist). After trying his hand as a painter, James studied chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and psychology at Harvard University, where he received his medical degree in 1869. His medical education included a nine-month expedition in Brazil with zoologist Louis Agassiz in 1865-1866. Such a vast array of experience, according to Ralph Barton Perry (1948:71), stimulated and revealed in James "a mind as energetic and acquisitive as it was voracious and incorrigibly vagrant." James attained considerable notoriety with the publication, in 1890, of

Personen Psychologie Jean Piaget (1896-1980) Swiss psychologist, best known for his pioneering work on the development of intelligence in children . His studies have had a major impact on the fields of psychology and education. In 1955 he became director of the International Center for Epistemology at the University of Geneva, and later he was codirector of the International Bureau of Education. He died in Geneva, on September 17, 1980. In his work Piaget identified the child's four stages of mental growth In the sensorimotor stage , occurring from birth to age 2, the child is concerned with gaining motor control and learning about physical objects. In the preoperational stage , from ages 2 to 7, the child is preoccupied with verbal skills. At this point the child can name objects and reason intuitively. In the concrete operational stage , from ages 7 to 12, the child begins to deal with abstract concepts such as numbers and relationships. Finally, in the formal operational stage , ages 12 to 15, the child begins to reason logically and systematically.
