Endnotes

1.

Edmund Husserl, Logical Investigations II, quoted in Herbert Spielberg, The Phenomenological Movement: A Historical Introduction, Vol. 1, 2nd edition, (The Hague: Matinus Nijhoff, 1965), p. 113. By “psychologistic” Husserl means what is empirically rather than logically or phenomenologically based. James was also a friend and correspondent of Carl Stumpf (1848–1936), another influential figure in the early phenomenological movement. For a penetrating examination of the relationship between James and phenomenology see Bruce Wilshire’s William James and Phenomenology: A Study of the Principles of Psychology (New York: AMS Press, 1979) and Fashionable Nihilism: A Critique of Analytic Philosophy (Albany, New York: State University of New York Press, 2002).

It is instructive to compare James’s radical empiricism with Jean-Paul Sartre’s phenomenological ontology. Both philosophers are direct realists who believe that consciousness is always consciousness of some object other than itself, but Sartre, unlike James, has a well-developed phenomenology of imagination and treats consciousness as a kind of being—an active, non-substantial being that he calls being-for-itself or nothingness (le néant). See Jean-Paul, Sartre, Being and Nothingness: An Essay in Phenomenological Ontology, tr. Hazel Barnes, (New York: Philosophical Library, 1956) and The Psychology of Imagination, tr. anonymous, (New York: Citadel Press, 1965).
