The Dichotomy of William James as it Relates to Rawls, Du Bois, and de Beauvoir

Abstract: This 8 page report discusses William James (1842-1910) and his attempt to create and/or follow a path that would lead between a rationalistic order that was not empirical enough and an empirical system so fundamentally materialistic that it was not possible that it could actually account for the value covenants on which it rested. Other writers dealing with most fundamental aspects of existence -- W.E.B. Du Bois, Simone de Beauvoir, and John Rawls -- wrote about what was essentially their version of the same process. Bibliography lists 8 sources. BWdichwj.rtf
