To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thispassage is an outline of the doctrine of 'The Will to Believe, ' which hewas afterwards to develop so forcibly. Again, in his last chapter, James criticized the doctrine of Spencerthat all the principles of thought, all its general truths and axioms, were derived from impressions of the external world. He argued, on theother hand, that such ways of looking at phenomena must originate in themind, and be prior to the experience which confirms them. Withoutdigging further into the character of... this mental contribution toknowledge, James contented himself with the suggestion that the use ofthese axiomatic principles might be construed in Darwinian style as a'variation' surviving by its fitness, thus introducing into his accountof mental process the important idea that thinking might be tested byits vital value. What if knowledge be neither a dull submission to dictation from withoutnor an unexplained necessity of thought? What if it be a bold adventure, an experimental sally of a Will to live, to know and to control reality?What if its principles were frankly _risky_, and their truth had to be_desired_ before it was tested and assured?
