Abstract

In this article, we will examine three main topics in William James's philosophy of education, especially in his classic book Talks to Teachers on Psychology and to Students on Some of Life's Ideals (1899) and his even more famous The Will to Believe (1897). In the first part of the paper, we will discuss the relationship between psychology and education.
