  • @phlewis86 I agree, William James is my favorite philosopher, and I too related this to the events of 9/11. Too bad it takes something as drastic as those moments to make us trust one another.

  • I love William James philosophy. I remember reading the example of of the highway man robbing the train and what he says about the passenger raising against him and it made me think of United 93. When people became aware of what was going on they fought back instead of waiting or hopping for rescue. It took faith that they had a chance to succeed. Very interesting thoughts and observations. .

  • @tatsumakisempyukaku it is from "Will to Believe"

  • Pretty sick, which essay is that from?
