The Sentiment Of Rationality

The Sentiment of Rationality is a philosophical work by American philosopher and psychologist William James, first published in 1907. In this book, James explores the concept of rationality and its relationship with emotions and feelings. He argues that rationality is not simply a matter of logical reasoning, but also involves emotional responses and intuitive insights. James contends that rationality is a sentiment or feeling, rather than a set of abstract principles or rules. He discusses the role of emotions in decision-making, and the importance of balancing reason and intuition. The book also addresses the limitations of rationality and the need for a more holistic approach to understanding human behavior. Overall, The Sentiment of Rationality offers a unique perspective on the nature of rationality and its role in human life.THIS 54 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Will to Believe and Other Essays in Popular Philosophy, by William James.
