The Meaning of Truth. A Sequel to “Pragmatism”

Few who employ the phrase "stream of consciousness" know that William James created the term to describe the interior narratives developed by his brother Henry, the novelist. The phrase's wide usage represents, however, the extent to which James has influenced all thinkers who've come after him. James was a pioneer in experimental and theoretical psychology; he also developed Pragmatic philosophy, in which he advocated moral evaluation in terms of empirical results. James taught physiology, psychology, and philosophy at Harvard, writing such books on the subjects as The Principles of Psychology, The Varieties of Religious Experience, and Pragmatism.
