Thank you for making the show possible. 🙂 Today we take a look at William James and his work on the concept of Truth.

Thank you for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday. :)
Proud to be part of the very small handful of intellectual elites that have all watched the same youtube video (this one)!
The quote for the week at my work is “act as if what you do makes a difference, it does” I love it
Mr. West I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your works. You discuss the topics in a manner that is easily understandable without talking down to your audience. That basic respect speaks volumes to your character. Thank you for making my life better.
What about occam's razor?!
An exquisite presentation.
Excellent. I really like this philosophy. Practical truth. Nice. Also a very nice presentation.
This helped immensely. Thank you so much!!!!
Great job P.T.
Good video. I am a big fan of pragmatism and James was a great writer. Thank you!
Amazing. I'm a student of philosophy.
If I believe in somethings,I believe it because it's useful to me and gives me more opportunities to prosper - kinda nietzschean will to power
"Socratic Method.exe"
The truth is something like the centre of town
Really good video, well presented, don’t stop doing them, they’re one of a kind. I like WJ’s way of thinking. He’s not wrong butI don’t think he’s right either. Truth is that which cannot be false. It is divine. The past is truth, the future is truth once it becomes the past. Truth is an absolute. Statements can’t be Truth unless they describe, without objectivity, that which has happened. Our courts use this concept unbeknownst, because in gathering facts for a case they are attempting to reassemble the facts of the case in order to get to the........truth. I’ll absolutely continue to watch your videos. Thank you.
I'm definitely returning to this. Even though it's extremely puzzling. A sphere is simply the closest perfect geometrical approximation of the Earth's shape. In practice it IS NOT FLAT. It is more like a squashed tomato in shape. At least I had an amateur astronomer who was a professional philosophy professor told me this(my brain must be tired from philosobinging) . It's most useful for me to think of it as a sphere because it makes more sense to me as a layperson.
It seems to me after an initial affair of mine with this theory it is better as an epistemological theory of justification. Justification as reliability and as evidence has always been my favorites. It seems most similar to reliability. It's useful for life to assume we're free not determined - this belief reliably produces better social results than its opposites, so our belief in free will is justified. But true? That is a much stronger claim I'm tempted to affirm but I just see this more sober way to incorporate the insight. Similarly coherence has been assimilated under theory of justification by analytic phil.
What does pragmatism say about a situation in which we discover something that makes accurate predictions yet contradicts one or more established "truths"; do we reject the new thing or the old thing(s)? What if we can't find a way to disprove either one?
What I mean by that is science at its core is an empirical realm.
A diamond ring is a token of submission... lol
I guess I'm a hard minded person because I'm very skeptical of what I see as a redefining of the word truth. I wonder how a conversation with William James would go if the word factual was used instead of the word truth?
