The One And The Many

By William James

Book Overview

The One and the Many is a philosophical work written by American philosopher and psychologist William James. The book explores the relationship between the individual and the collective, examining how we can reconcile our desire for individuality with our need for social cohesion. James argues that while we are all unique individuals, we are also part of a larger whole, and that our actions and beliefs are influenced by the society in which we live. He explores the tensions between individual freedom and social responsibility, and considers how we can balance these competing demands in order to create a more just and equitable society. The One and the Many is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be relevant today, offering readers a nuanced and sophisticated understanding of the complex relationship between the individual and the collective.THIS 42 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Pragmatism: A New Name for Some Old Ways of Thinking, by William James.
