follow-up to the last post

Furthermore, I should add that I do not have the same reservations about the style of William James, so it’s by no means an aversion to American philosophy in general. There’s more of a bite to James than to Dewey. The same for Emerson. (As for Peirce, I really want to like him, but he left behind a sort of chaos in his writings, and I never find myself quite able to piece it all together.)

James also ranks on the short list of the funniest philosophers of all time, and that’s not nothing.
