William Faulkner, William James, and the American pragmatic tradition in SearchWorks catalog

Unstiffening All Our Theories: Evans, Dalhousie University, Canada Part 1: James and Modernist Culture 7 James and Bergson: Many of James's well-known ideas-including pragmatism, pluralism, philosophical temperaments, radical empiricism, stream of thought, and the will to believe-are illuminated in strikingly novel ways in this context.

It turns out that modernism, emphasizing temporality, change, and the 'flux' of reality in contrast to fixity, abstraction, and unchanging essences, captures much of what is central to James's basic pragmatist, pluralist, and empiricist approach.

The book offers an astonishing breadth and coverage, a plurality of perspectives on his thought that James himself would have admired. They offer a fresh and convincing account of his intersections with boldly innovative modern writers, beginning with his own brother Henry. It shows precisely how James translated experience into modernity, negotiating between the claims of science and opening pluralistic worlds in thought and practice.

The strength of the collection is the way it addresses the entire range of James's works and offers a wealth of multiple relations between James, modernism and literature.

Though Faulkner was dubbed an idealist after World War II, Evans demonstrates that Faulkner's writing is deeply connected to the emergence of pragmatism as an intellectual doctrine and cultural force in the early twentieth century. He casts this figure as the missing link between Faulkner and James, giving him new prominence in the prehistory of pragmatism.
