Abstract

Pragmatizmin kurucularından olan William James, bu makalede kendi felsefesi olarak nitelediği 'radikal ampirizm' ile ilgili bazı hususlardaki düşüncelerini sunmaktadır. Onun felsefesinde önemli bir yeri olan 'saf deneyim' kavramıyla ilgili ortaya çıkan bazı hususların açıklanması ve kendisine yapılan bazı eleştirilerin cevaplanması makalenin genel çerçevesini oluşturmaktadır. Bu çerçevede William James, deneyimi esas alarak şeyler arasındaki ilişkilerin şeyler kadar gerçek olduğunu ortaya koymaya çalışmaktadır. James, düşüncelerini mantıksal olarak ifadelendirirken okuyucuyu da sık sık fiziksel olanla düşünmemesi noktasında uyarmaktadır.

THE THING AND ITS RELATIONS

https://izlik.org/JA89MN77AE

Abstract

In this article, William James, one of the founders of pragmatism, presents his thoughts on some issues related to ‘radical empiricism’, which he characterizes as his philosophy. The general framework of the article consists of explaining some matters related to the concept of ‘pure experience’, which has an important place in his philosophy, and answering some of the criticisms made against it. In this framework, William James tries to show that the relations between things are as real as the things, by taking experience as a basis.

Keywords
