In his essay, The Will to Believe, William James defends a kind of pragmatist approach to how we form our beliefs. Write a paper critically examining some central aspect of his essay. What exactly is he arguing? Is the scope of his pragmatism too broad? Too narrow? Is it acceptable (even possible?) to form ones beliefs based on something other than the evidence? Are his examples persuasive? Why or why not? Here you might also look at the relevant parts of Clifford (The Ethics of Belief) how might he respond to James?
