William James (1842–1910) originally published these ten non-technical essays in popular journals and reviews. Collected in this 1897 volume, they illustrate his pragmatic approach to questions of morality and religious belief. He argues that in cases of insufficient evidence we both can and must act on the best hypothesis.
