William James on Pragmatism and Religion.Guy Axtell - 2018 - In Jacob Goodson (ed.), William James, Moral Philosophy, and the Ethical Life: The Cries of the Wounded. London: Lexington Books. pp. 317-336.details
Critics and defenders of William James both acknowledge serious tensions in his thought, tensions perhaps nowhere more vexing to readers than in regard to his claim about an individual's intellectual right to their "faith ventures." Focusing especially on "Pragmatism and Religion," the final lecture in Pragmatism, this chapter will explore certain problems James' pragmatic pluralism. Some of these problems are theoretical, but others concern the real-world upshot of adopting James permissive ethics of belief. Although Jamesian permissivism is qualified in (...) certain ways in this paper, I largely defend James in showing how permissivism has philosophical advantages over the non-permissivist position associated with evidentialism. These advantages include not having to treat disagreement as a sign of error or irrationality, and mutual support relations between permissivism and what John Rawls calls the "reasonable pluralism" at the heart of political liberalism.

Ludwig Wittgenstein and William James.Jaime Nubiola - 2000 - Streams of William James 2 (3):2-4.details
The relationship between William James and Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) has recently been the subject of intense scholarly research. We know for instance that the later Wittgenstein's reflections on the philosophy of psychology found in James a major source of inspiration. Not surprisingly therefore, the pragmatist nature of the philosophy of the later Wittgenstein is increasingly acknowledged, in spite of Wittgenstein's adamant refusal of being labeled a "pragmatist". In this brief paper I merely want to piece together some of the (...) available evidence of Wittgenstein's high regard for William James, not only for his thoughts, but even more so for his character.

Taking God Seriously, but Not Too Seriously: The Divine Command Theory and William James' 'The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life'.Mark J. Boone - 2013 - William James Studies 10:1-20.details
While some scholars neglect the theological component to William James's ethical views in "The Moral Philosopher and the Moral Life," Michael Cantrell reads it as promoting a divine command theory (DCT) of the foundations of moral obligation. While Cantrell's interpretation is to be commended for taking God seriously, he goes a little too far in the right direction. Although James's view amounts to what could be called (and what Cantrell does call) a DCT because on it God's demands are (...) necessary and sufficient for the highest obligations, this is a view with characteristics unusual for a DCT. It only holds for some obligations; on it moral obligation does not derive from God's authority; it is not obvious that James believes the God required by it even exists; we do not know what God's demands are; and, finally, since we do not know them, we cannot act on them. -/- (Lest there be any confusion, the titular phrase "taking God seriously, but not too seriously" describes William James' view of God and morality, not my own view.).

The year of the centennial of the Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges is probably the right time to exhume one of the links that this universal writer had with William James. In 1945, Emece, a publisher from Buenos Aires, printed a Spanish translation of William James's book Pragmatism, with a foreword by Jorge Luis Borges.

A Pluralistic Universe: Hibbert Lectures at Manchester College on the Present Situation in Philosophy, by William James; A New Philosophical Reading.H. G. Callaway & William James (eds.) - 2008 - Cambridge Scholars Press.details
This new edition of William James's 1909 classic, A Pluralistic Universe reproduces the original text, only modernizing the spelling. The books has been annotated throughout to clarify James's points of reference and discussion. There is a new, fuller index, a brief chronology of James's life, and a new bibliography—chiefly based on James's own references. The editor, H.G. Callaway, has included a new Introduction which elucidates the legacy of Jamesian pluralism to survey some related questions of contemporary American society. -/- (...) A Pluralistic Universe was the last major book James published during his life time. It is a substantial philosophical work, devoted to a thorough-going criticism of Hegelian monism and Absolutism—and the exploration of philosophical and social-theological alternatives. Our world of some one hundred years on is much the better for James's contributions; and understanding James's pluralism deeply contributes even now to America's self-understanding. At present, we are more certain that American is, and is best, a pluralistic society, than we are of what particular forms our pluralism should take. Keeping an eye out for social interpretations of Jamesian pluralism, this new philosophical reading casts light on our twenty-first century alternatives by reference to prior American experience and developments. -/- .

Professor William Craig's Criticisms of Critiques of Kalam Cosmological Arguments By Paul Davies, Stephen Hawking, and Adolf Grunbaum.Graham Oppy - 1995 - Faith and Philosophy 12 (2):237-250.details
Kalam cosmological arguments have recently been the subject of criticisms, at least inter alia, by physicists---Paul Davies, Stephen Hawking---and philosophers of science---Adolf Grunbaum. In a series of recent articles, William Craig has attempted to show that these criticisms are "superficial, iII-conceived, and based on misunderstanding." I argue that, while some of the discussion of Davies and Hawking is not philosophically sophisticated, the points raised by Davies, Hawking and Grunbaum do suffice to undermine the dialectical efficacy of kalam cosmological arguments.
Cosmological Arguments for Theism in Philosophy of Religion
William James on Emotion and Intentionality.Matthew Ratcliffe - 2005 - International Journal of Philosophical Studies 13 (2):179-202.details
William James's theory of emotion is often criticized for placing too much emphasis on bodily feelings and neglecting the cognitive aspects of emotion. This paper suggests that such criticisms are misplaced. Interpreting James's account of emotion in the light of his later philosophical writings, I argue that James does not emphasize bodily feelings at the expense of cognition. Rather, his view is that bodily feelings are part of the structure of intentionality. In reconceptualizing the relationship between cognition and affect, (...) James rejects a number of commonplace assumptions concerning the nature of our cognitive relationship with the world, assumptions that many of his critics take for granted. (shrink)

Divide Et Impera! William James's Pragmatist Tradition in the Philosophy of Science.Alexander Klein - 2008 - Philosophical Topics 36 (1):129-166.details
ABSTRACT. May scientists rely on substantive, a priori presuppositions? Quinean naturalists say "no," but Michael Friedman and others claim that such a view cannot be squared with the actual history of science. To make his case, Friedman offers Newton's universal law of gravitation and Einstein's theory of relativity as examples of admired theories that both employ presuppositions (usually of a mathematical nature), presuppositions that do not face empirical evidence directly. In fact, Friedman claims that the use of such presuppositions is (...) a hallmark of "science as we know it." But what should we say about the special sciences, which typically do not rely on the abstruse formalisms one finds in the exact sciences? I identify a type of a priori presupposition that plays an especially striking role in the development of empirical psychology. These are ontological presuppositions about the type of object a given science purports to study. I show how such presuppositions can be both a priori and rational by investigating their role in an early flap over psychology's contested status as a natural science. The flap focused on one of the field's earliest textbooks, William James's Principles of Psychology. The work was attacked precisely for its reliance on a priori presuppositions about what James had called the "mental state," psychology's (alleged) proper object. I argue that the specific presuppositions James packed into his definition of the "mental state" were not directly responsible to empirical evidence, and so in that sense were a priori; but the presuppositions were rational in that they were crafted to help overcome philosophical objections (championed by neo-Hegelians) to the very idea that there can be a genuine science of mind. Thus, my case study gives an example of substantive, a priori presuppositions being put to use—to rational use—in the special sciences. In addition to evaluating James's use of presuppositions, my paper also offers historical reflections on two different strands of pragmatist philosophy of science. One strand, tracing back through Quine to C. S. Peirce, is more naturalistic, eschewing the use of a priori elements in science. The other strand, tracing back through Kuhn and C. I. Lewis to James, is more friendly to such presuppositions, and to that extent bears affinity with the positivist tradition Friedman occupies. (shrink)

William James at the Boundaries: Philosophy, Science, and the Geography of Knowledge.Francesca Bordogna - 2008 - University of Chicago Press.details
At Columbia University in 1906, William James gave a highly confrontational speech to the American Philosophical Association (APA). He ignored the technical philosophical questions the audience had gathered to discuss and instead addressed the topic of human energy. Tramping on the rules of academic decorum, James invoked the work of amateurs, read testimonials on the benefits of yoga and alcohol, and concluded by urging his listeners to take up this psychological and physiological problem. What was the goal of this (...) unusual speech? Rather than an oddity, Francesca Bordogna asserts that the APA address was emblematic—it was just one of many gestures that James employed as he plowed through the barriers between academic, popular, and pseudoscience, as well as the newly emergent borders between the study of philosophy, psychology, and the "science of man." Bordogna reveals that James's trespassing of boundaries was an essential element of a broader intellectual and social project. By crisscrossing divides, she argues, James imagined a new social configuration of knowledge, a better society, and a new vision of the human self. As the academy moves toward an increasingly interdisciplinary future, William James at the Boundaries reintroduces readers to a seminal influence on the way knowledge is pursued. (shrink)

Idealism, Pragmatism, and the Will to Believe: Charles Renouvier and William James.Jeremy Dunham - 2015 - British Journal for the History of Philosophy 23 (4):1-23.details
This article investigates the history of the relation between idealism and pragmatism by examining the importance of the French idealist Charles Renouvier for the development of William James's 'Will to Believe'. By focusing on French idealism, we obtain a broader understanding of the kinds of idealism on offer in the nineteenth century. First, I show that Renouvier's unique methodological idealism led to distinctively pragmatist doctrines and that his theory of certitude and its connection to freedom is worthy of reconsideration. (...) Second, I argue that the technical vocabulary and main structure of the argument from the 'Will to Believe' depend upon Renouvier's idealist theory of knowledge and psychology of belief, and that taking account of this line of influence is of crucial importance for establishing the correct interpretation of James's work.

William James on Conceptions and Private Language.Henry Jackman - 2017 - Belgrade Philosophical Annual 30:175-193.details
William James was one of the most frequently cited authors in Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations, but the attention paid to James's Principles of Psycho- logy in that work is typically explained in terms of James having 'committed in a clear, exemplary manner, fundamental errors in the philosophy of mind.' (Goodman 2002, p. viii.) The most notable of these 'errors' was James's purported commitment to a conception of language as 'private'. Commentators standardly treat James as committed to a conception of language (...) as private, and the most notorious instance of this commitment can purportedly be found in his discussion of the feelings associated with logical terms like 'and', 'if ' and 'but' in the Principles's chapter, 'The Stream of Thought'. However, the received view stands in need of serious re-evaluation. In particular, there is little reason to think that James's notorious discussion of the 'if-feeling' should be understood as an attempt to give an account of the meaning of 'if ' (indeed, there is little reason to even think that Wittgenstein interpreted him this way). The picture of our ideas developed in 'The Stream of Thought' sits badly with any theory that identifies meanings with ideas in this way, and while James's chapter on 'Conception' (as well as some portions of Some Problems of Philosophy) has also been portrayed as committing James to the in principle privacy of language, it will be argued here that James's account of our 'conceptions' is radically different from that of the private linguist.

William James and His Darwinian Defense of Freewill.Matthew Crippen - 2011 - In Mark Wheeler (ed.), 150 Years of Evolution: Darwin's Impact on Contemporary Thought and Culture. pp. 68-89.details
Abstract If asked about the Darwinian influence on William James, some might mention his pragmatic position that ideas are "mental modes of adaptation," and that our stock of ideas evolves to meet our changing needs. However, while this is not obviously wrong, it fails to capture what James deems most important about Darwinian theory: the notion that there are independent cycles of causation in nature. Versions of this idea undergird everything from his campaign against empiricist psychologies to his theories (...) of mind and knowledge to his pluralistic worldview; and all of this together undergirds his attempts to challenge determinism and defend freewill. I begin this paper by arguing that James uses Darwinian thinking to bridge empiricism and rationalism, and that this merger undermines environmental determinism. I then discuss how Darwinism informs his concept of pluralism; how his concept challenges visions of a causally welded "block universe"; and how it also casts doubt on the project of reducing all reality to physical reality, and therewith the wisdom of dismissing consciousness as an inert by-product of physiology. I conclude by considering how Darwinism helps him justify the pragmatic grounds upon which he defends freewill. (shrink)
William Whewell, the Plurality of Worlds, and the Modern Solar System.Michael J. Crowe - 2016 - Zygon 51 (2):431-449.details
Astronomers of the first half of the nineteenth century viewed our solar system entirely differently from the way twentieth-century astronomers viewed it. In the earlier period the dominant image was of a set of planets and moons, both of which kinds of bodies were inhabited by intelligent beings comparable to humans. By the early twentieth century, science had driven these beings from every planet in our system except the Earth, leaving our solar system as more or less desolate regions for (...) the most part bereft of intelligent life. This essay traces this extinction and its relation to religious thought, noting the role played in it by Sir John Herschel and especially by William Whewell. The inverse square laws for gravitation, heat radiation, and light receive special attention, as does the question of the relevance of the Christian notions of a divine incarnation and redemption.

Religious Topics in Philosophy of Religion
Augustine and William James on the Rationality of Faith.Mark J. Boone - 2018 - Heythrop Journal.details
Augustine and William James both argue that religious faith can be both practical and rational even in the absence of knowledge. Augustine argues that religious faith is trust and that trust is a normal, proper, and even necessary way of believing. Beginning with faith, we then work towards knowledge by means of philosophical contemplation. James' "The Will to Believe" makes pragmatic arguments for the rationality of faith. Although we do not know (yet) whether God exists, faith is a choice (...) between the risk of believing something false and the risk of not believing something true, and in the absence of convincing evidence we may decide for ourselves which risk we prefer. We may be able to experience God in the future and thereby gain knowledge, yet this may be contingent on our willingness to believe. There are key differences, however. Augustine is a Christian with a neo-Platonic bent, James an empiricist defending the religion of your choice. These differences may be less significant than they first appear. After explaining Augustine and then James I draw out the major points of comparison and contrast and suggest a few reasons their insights might be at least partially synthesized. -/- This is the accepted version of the following article: Mark J.

William Bateson From "Balanoglossus" to "Materials for the Study of Variation": The Transatlantic Roots of Discontinuity and the (Un)Naturalness of Selection. [REVIEW]Erik L. Peterson - 2008 - Journal of the History of Biology 41 (2):267 - 305.details
William Bateson (1861-1926) has long occupied a controversial role in the history of biology at the turn of the twentieth century. For the most part, Bateson has been situated as the British translator of Mendel or as the outspoken antagonist of W. F. R. Weldon and Karl Pearson's biometrics program. Less has been made of Bateson's transition from embryologist to advocate for discontinuous variation, and the precise role of British and American influences in that transition, in the years leading (...) up to the publication of his massive Materials for the Study of Variation (1894). In this paper, I first attempt to trace Bateson's development in his early career before turning to search for the development of the moniker "anti-Darwinist" that has been attached to Bateson in well-known histories of the neo-Darwinian Synthesis.

Was Sir William Crookes Epistemically Virtuous?Ian James Kidd - 2014 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part C 48:67-74.details
The aim of this paper is to use Sir William Crookes' researches into psychical phenomena as a sustained case study of the role of epistemic virtues within scientific enquiry. Despite growing interest in virtues in science, there are few integrated historical and philosophical studies, and even fewer studies focusing on controversial or ‗fringe' sciences where, one might suppose, certain epistemic virtues (like open-mindedness and tolerance) may be subjected to sterner tests. Using the virtue of epistemic courage as my focus, (...) it emerges that Crookes' psychical researches were indeed epistemically courageous, but that this judgment must be grounded in sensitivity to the motivational complexity and context-sensitivity of the exercise of epistemic virtues. The paper then considers Crookes' remarks on the relationship between epistemic virtuousness and the intellectual integrity and public duties of scientists, thereby placing epistemic virtues in the context of wider debates about the authority of science in late modern societies. I conclude that Crookes' researches into psychical phenomena offer instructive lessons for historians of science and virtue epistemologists concerning the complexity and contextuality of epistemic virtues, and the profitable forms that future studies of virtues in science could take.

Wittgenstein and William James.Russell B. Goodman - 2002 - Cambridge University Press.details
This 2002 book explores Wittgenstein's long engagement with the work of the pragmatist William James. In contrast to previous discussions Russell Goodman argues that James exerted a distinctive and pervasive positive influence on Wittgenstein's thought. For example, the book shows that the two philosophers share commitments to anti-foundationalism, to the description of the concrete details of human experience, to the priority of practice over intellect, and to the importance of religion in understanding human life. Considering in detail what Wittgenstein (...) learnt from his reading of Principles of Psychology and Varieties of Religious Experience the author provides considerable evidence for Wittgenstein's claim that he is saying 'something that sounds like pragmatism'. This provocative account of the convergence in the thinking of two major philosophers usually considered as members of discrete traditions will be eagerly sought by students of Wittgenstein, William James, pragmatism and the history of twentieth-century philosophy.

William James on Emotion and Morals.Guy Axtell - forthcoming - In Jacob Goodson (ed.), Cries of the Wounded: William James, Moral Philosophy, and the Moral Life. Rowman & Littlefield.details
The Emotions chapter (XXV) in James' Principles of Psychology traverses the entire range of experienced emotions from the "coarser" and more instinctual to the "subtler" emotions intimately involved in cognitive, moral, and aesthetic aspects of life. But Principles limits himself to an account of emotional consciousness and so there are few direct discussions in the text of Principles about what later came to be called moral psychology, and fewer about anything resembling philosophical ethics. Still, James' short section on the subtler (...) emotions, when read in connection with his later philosophical writings, still provides insight on James' views about how human emotion colors our moral psychology and agency. The paper tries to articulate how James' somatic account of emotion adds significantly to contemporary discussions at the borders of moral psychology and philosophy: discussions over the foreground/background distinction, emotional temperament, emotional learning, moral imagination, and selfhood and narrativity. The final section focuses on the neo-Jamesian character of "new sentimentalist" moral psychologists. Among the substantial connections I discuss between James and 1) between Jonathan Haidt's "social intuitionism" and 2) Jesse Prinz's "emotionism" are the critiques that they each share of the pretensions of hard universalist ethical theories.

William James on Consciousness Beyond the Margin.Eugene Taylor - 2011 - Princeton University Press.details
At the turn of the twentieth century, William James was America's most widely read philosopher. In addition to being one of the founders of pragmatism, however, he was also a leading psychologist and author of the seminal work, The Principles of Psychology. While scholars argue that James withdrew from the study of psychology after 1890, Eugene Taylor demonstrates convincingly that James remained preeminently a psychologist until his death in 1910.Taylor details James's contributions to experimental psychopathology, psychical research, and the (...) psychology of religion. Moreover, Taylor's work shows that out of his scientific study of consciousness, James formulated a sophisticated metaphysics of radical empiricism. In light of historical developments in psychology, as well as the current philosophic implications of the neuroscience revolution related to the biology of consciousness, Taylor argues that both the subject matter of James's investigations and his metaphysics of radical empiricism are just as important for psychology today as James believed they were in his own time.This book represents a major new contribution both to James scholarship and to the history of American psychology. Although philosophers have analyzed radical empiricism, this book is the first to trace the development of radical empiricism as a metaphysics addressed to psychologists. It is also the first to show James's involvement in depth-psychology and psychotherapeutics and to trace historical continuity between James's work on consciousness and subsequent developments in psychoanalysis, personality theory, and humanistic psychology.

The Revolutionary Vision of William Blake.Thomas J. J. Altizer - 2009 - Journal of Religious Ethics 37 (1):33-38.details
It was William Blake's insight that the Christian churches, by inverting the Incarnation and the dialectical vision of Paul, have repressed the body, divided God from creation, substituted judgment for grace, and repudiated imagination, compassion, and the original apocalyptic faith of early Christianity. Blake's prophetic poetry thus contributes to the renewal of Christian ethics by a process of subversion and negation of Christian moral, ecclesiastical, and theological traditions, which are recognized precisely as inversions of Jesus, and therefore as instances (...) of the forms of evil that God-in-Christ overcomes through Incarnation, reversing the Fall. Blake's great epic poems, particularly Milton (1804–08) and Jerusalem (1804–20), embody his heterodox representation of the final coincidence of Christ and Satan through which, at last, all things are made new.

William King on Free Will.Kenneth L. Pearce - 2019 - Philosophers' Imprint 19.details
William King's De Origine Mali contains an interesting, sophisticated, and original account of free will. King finds 'necessitarian' theories of freedom, such as those advocated by Hobbes and Locke, inadequate, but argues that standard versions of libertarianism commit one to the claim that free will is a faculty for going wrong. On such views, free will is something we would be better off without. King argues that both problems can be avoided by holding that we confer value on objects (...) by valuing them. Such a view secures sourcehood and alternative possibilities while denying that free will is simply a capacity to choose contrary to our best judgment. This theory escapes all of the objections levelled against it by Leibniz and also has interesting consequences for ethics: although constructed within a eudaimonist framework, King's theory gives rise to a very strong moral requirement of respect for individual self-determination.

"I Walk Weeping in Pangs of a Mothers Torment for Her Children": Women's Laments in the Poetry and Prophecies of William Blake.Steven P. Hopkins - 2009 - Journal of Religious Ethics 37 (1):39-81.details
Cross-cultural scholarship in ritual studies on women's laments provides us with a fresh vantage point from which to consider the function of women and women's complaining voices in the epic poems of William Blake. In this essay, I interpret Thel, Oothoon, and Enitharmon as strong voices of experience that unleash some of Blake's most profound meditations on social, sexual, individual, and institutional forms of violence and injustice, offering what might aptly be called an ethics of witness. Tracing the performative (...) function of Enion, Jerusalem, Vala, and Erin in Blake's later epics, The Four Zoas and Jerusalem , I argue for the close connection between the female laments and the possibility of redemption, though in Blake such "redemption" comes at the cost of the very voices of witness themselves.

Of Mice and Men: Evolution and the Socialist Utopia. William Morris, H.G. Wells, and George Bernard Shaw. [REVIEW]Piers J. Hale - 2010 - Journal of the History of Biology 43 (1):17 - 66.details
During the British socialist revival of the 1880s competing theories of evolution were central to disagreements about strategy for social change. In News from Nowhere (1891), William Morris had portrayed socialism as the result of Lamarckian processes, and imagined a non-Malthusian future. H.G. Wells, an enthusiastic admirer of Morris in the early days of the movement, became disillusioned as a result of the Malthusianism he learnt from Huxley and his subsequent rejection of Lamarckism in light of Weismann's experiments on (...) mice.

William James and Allama Iqbal on Empirical Faith.Mark J. Boone - forthcoming - Heythrop Journal.details
American Pragmatist philosopher William James and subcontinent Islamic philosopher Allama Iqbal both believe that religious experiences are an important class of those experiences with which empiricism is concerned. They both explain and defend religious belief on empirical grounds and argue that the ultimate empirical justification of a religious belief must come by looking at its fruits. This is no accident, for James influenced Iqbal on this very point. -/- However, they diverge in some matters. James defends the right to (...) diverse religious belief and eventually articulates his own account based on religious experience—an account which is intentionally philosophical and not reliant on any religious authority. Iqbal, however, reconsiders and defends Islam understood along largely traditional lines. -/- I compare and contrast James' and Iqbal's religious epistemologies in order to understand both of them better and, hopefully, enrich contemporary reflection on faith and reason through a better awareness of the past dialogue on the subject.

Threads That Guide or Ties That Bind: William Kirby and the Essentialism Story.Charissa S. Varma - 2009 - Journal of the History of Biology 42 (1):119-149.details
Nineteenth-century British entomologist William Kirby is best known for his generic division of bees based on tongues and his vigorous defence of natural theology. Focusing on these aspects of Kirby's work has lead many current scholars to characterise Kirby as an "essentialist." As a result of this characterisation, many important aspects of his work, Monographia Apum Angliœ (1802) have been over-looked or misunderstood. Kirby's religious devotion, for example, have lead some scholars to assume Kirby used the term "type" for (...) connecting an ontological assumption about essences with a creationist assumption about species fixity, which I argue conceals a variety of ways Kirby employed the term. Also, Kirby frequently cautioned against organising a classification system exclusively by what he called "analytic reasoning," a style of reasoning 20th century scholars often associate with Aristotelian logic of division. I argue that Kirby's critique of analytic reasoning brought the virtues of his own methodological agenda into sharp relief. Kirby used familiar metaphors in the natural history literature-Ariadne's thread, the Eleusinian mysteries, and Bacon's bee and spider metaphors-to emphasise the virtues of building tradition and cooperation in the goals and methodological practices of 19th century British naturalists.

Heaven's Champion: William James's Philosophy of Religion (Review). [REVIEW]James O. Pawelski - 2001 - Journal of Speculative Philosophy 15 (1):56-61.details
William James is notorious for the large number of inconsistencies and at least apparent contradictions in his writings. Many readers conclude that he should be appreciated more for his profound but erratic insights than for any coherent philosophical perspective. Ellen Kappy Suckiel disagrees. She argues that James is far more careful and systematic than many readers realize. Her work on James is guided by the attempt to lay bare his coherent philosophical vision and the consistent philosophical methodology underlying it. (...) As a result of this approach, Suckiel's work on James is both sympathetic to his philosophical insights and carefully argued. In her first book, The Pragmatic Philosophy of William James (1982), Suckiel applies this approach to James's philosophy as a whole. The result is a work of remarkable clarity and insight that serves as a wonderful introduction to James's thought. In her more recent book, Suckiel applies this approach specifically to James's philosophy of religion, with similar felicitous results. Heaven's... (shrink)
William Whewell: A Composite Portrait.Menachem Fisch & Simon Schaffer (eds.) - 1991 - Clarendon Press.details
William Whewell was a giant of Victorian intellectual culture. His influence, whether recognized or forgotten, is palpable in areas as diverse as moral philosophy, mineralogy, architecture, the politics of education, physics, engineering, and theology. Recent studies of the place of the sciences in nineteenth-century Britain have repeatedly indicated the significance of Whewell's sweeping and critical proposals for a reformed account of scientific knowledge and moral values. However, until now there has been no detailed study of the context and impact (...) of his project. This collection of essays by recognized authorities in the fields of history, history of science, and philosophy thus represents the first attempt to do justice to a magisterial nineteenth-century intellectual. More generally, it makes an important contribution to our understanding of Victorian intellectual life and its aftermath. (shrink)

A Few Puzzles About William James' Theory of Truth.Xingming Hu - 2016 - Kriterion: Journal of Philosophy 57 (135):803-821.details
William James makes several major claims about truth: (i) truth means agreement with reality independently of the knower, (ii) truth is made by human beings, (iii) truth can be verified, and (iv) truth is necessarily good. These claims give rise to a few puzzles: (i) and (ii) seem to contradict each other, and each of (ii), (iii), and (iv) has counter-intuitive implications. I argue that Richard Gale's interpretation of James' theory of truth is inadequate in dealing with these puzzles. (...) I propose an alternative interpretation and show how it can solve these puzzles. (shrink)

William James's 'The Will to Believe" has been criticized for offering untenable arguments in support of belief in unvalidated hypotheses. Although James is no longer accused of sug gesting we can create belief ex nihilo, critics con tinue to charge that James's defense of belief in what he called the "religious hypothesis" con fuses belief with hypothesis adoption and endorses willful persistence in unvalidated beliefs-not, as he claimed, in pursuit of truth, but merely to avoid the emotional stress of (...) abandoning them. I argue that James's position in "The Will to Believe" can be defended pro vided we give up thinking of it as ethics of belief and think of it instead as an ethics of self-experimentation.

William Ames's Calvinist Ambiguity Over Freedom of Conscience.James Calvin Davis - 2005 - Journal of Religious Ethics 33 (2):333 - 355.details
Reformed Christianity's qualified embrace of freedom of conscience is per- haps best represented by William Ames (1576-1633). This essay explores Ames's interpretation of conscience, his understanding of its relationship to natural law, Scripture, and civil authority, and his vacillation on the sub- ject of conscientious freedom. By rooting his interpretation of conscience in natural law, Ames provided a foundation for conscience as an authority whose convictions are binding and worthy of some civil respect and free- dom. At the same (...) time, his Puritan worldview ultimately required the deference of conscience to the superior manifestations of divine law in Scripture and civil institutions. As a result, Ames provided raw ingredients for a theological doctrine of freedom of conscience despite his unwillingness to commend the idea himself consistently. In this way, Ames symbolizes an ambiguity on freedom of conscience characteristic of the broader Reformed tradition. (shrink)
The Unity of William James's Thought.Wesley Cooper - 2002 - Vanderbilt University Press.details
Wesley Cooper opposes the traditional view of William Jamesís philosophy which dismissed it as fragmented or merely popular, arguing instead that there is a systematic philosophy to be found in James's writings. His doctrine of pure experience is the binding thread that links his earlier psychological theorizing to his later epistemological, religious, and pragmatic concerns.
On the Significance of William James to a Contemporary Doctrine of Evolutionary Psychology.Jean Suplizio - 2007 - Human Studies 30 (4):357-375.details
Academic popularizers of the new field of evolutionary psychology make notable appeals to William James to bolster their doctrine. In particular, they cite James' remark that humans have all the "impulses" animals do and many more besides to shore up their claim that people's "instincts" account for their flexibility. This essay argues that these scholars misinterpret James on the instincts. Consciousness (which they find inscrutable) explains cognitive flexibility for James. The evolutionary psychologists' appeal to James is, therefore, unwarranted and, (...) given the conditions relevant to the public and professional audiences they address, also ineffective as a rhetorical tool for enlisting new recruits.

Labor and the Human Relationship with Nature: The Naturalization of Politics in the Work of Thomas Henry Huxley, Herbert George Wells, and William Morris. [REVIEW]Piers J. Hale - 2003 - Journal of the History of Biology 36 (2):249 - 284.details
Historically labor has been central to human interactions with the environment, yet environmentalists pay it scant attention. Indeed, they have been critical of those who foreground labor in their politics, socialists in particular. However, environmentalists have found the nineteenth-century socialist William Morris appealing despite the fact that he wrote extensively on labor. This paper considers the place of labor in the relationship between humanity and the natural world in the work of Morris and two of his contemporaries, the eminent (...) scientist Thomas Henry Huxley, and the Fabian socialist Herbert George Wells. I suggest that Morris's conception of labor has much to recommend it to environmentalists who are also interested in issues of social justice. (shrink)
Human Nature in Metaphysics
The Divided Self of William James.Richard M. Gale - 1999 - Cambridge University Press.details
This book offers a powerful interpretation of the philosophy of William James. It focuses on the multiple directions in which James's philosophy moves and the inevitable contradictions that arise as a result. The first part of the book explores a range of James's doctrines in which he refuses to privilege any particular perspective: ethics, belief, free will, truth and meaning. The second part of the book turns to those doctrines where James privileges the perspective of mystical experience. Richard Gale (...) then shows how the relativistic tendencies can be reconciled with James's account of mystical experience. An appendix considers the distorted picture of James's philosophy that has been refracted down to us through the interpretations of his work by John Dewey. (shrink)

Make these fun (and tasty) witches and ghouls in the blink of an eye !
Ideal as decorations and perfect for Halloween party bags.
All you need are a few CHUPA CHUPS lollies, some circles of fabric, small elastic bands or hair elastics.
Place the lolly in the centre of the fabric.
Stick on a couple of eyes and the ghoul is finished.
For the Witch make a little hat from black card or felt.
If you want your witch to have a broomstick you can make this from a simple stick of liquorice or a cola stick wrapped in black wool or pipe cleaners.
We pushed two liquorice spirals onto the lolly sticks for balance so they stayed the right way up when hung from the beam. This is also a nice touch for those children who want to keep their lolly ghoul intact as they can still enjoy a sweet treat!
Perugia is famous for its amazing panoramic views, colourful history, its international universities, the many beautiful buildings and monuments and, of course, chocolate!
But for visiting children the initial big attraction will probably be the mini metro!
A ride on this mono rail is an experience not to be missed by anyone but especially if you are traveling with kids.
The mini metro runs between the parking areas and the Fontivegge train station to the Centro Storico or the centre of the old town. Tickets are just a couple of euros. Keep your entrance ticket as you need it to exit at the other end on the station. The trams run every few minutes. The most popular and largest parking spot is at the stadium and the mini metro is well sign posted. But you can choose to take an ordinary train from your nearest station and then hop onto the mini metro at Fontivegge.
I never take the car into Perugia. I can't see the point. Parking is difficult and the streets are congested and you really do need to know exactly where you are going! Why get stressed out when it's so easy to hop on to a train.
In under thirty minutes from the stations around the lake (Passignano, Castiglione, Magione ) you arrive at the outskirts of the city from where you can take a thrilling short journey on the mini metro followed by a series of escalators through the foundations of the old medieval fortress (La Rocca Paolis) up into the centre.
My advice would also be to take the kids down the escalators as well as up,because it is something that they will probably not experience anywhere else and great fun!
"La Rocca Paolis is the underground remains of an old fortress built by papal decree in the mid 1500s.
It offers an alternative route into Perugia is via escalators that takes you from parking at the city's base, up through the foundations of this medieval fortress. During the Christmas season, this underground area is transformed into an arts-and-crafts market with music and entertainers. The kids will love it!
The video below gives a snapshot of the journey and a quick look at Perugia through the eyes of a child. It is only a snapshot! There is so much to see and do in Perugia! The museums, the art galleries, the shops, the Saturday market and last but certainly not least the amazing walk around the city walls. The views will astound you!
If you happen to be here now then you should also visit the Chocolate Festival!
Eurochocolate Festival 2016, at its 23rd edition, is from 14 until 23 October 2016.
Eurochocolate is the International Chocolate Exhibition. The largest of all the chocolate festivals in Europe. The event allows individuals to discover the different flavors of chocolate from cultures around the world.
For ten days every October about one million visitors will visit this event. The festival offers experimental tasting, cooking classes, performances, sculpting and art displays.
The main attractions are: the Chocolate Show, Eurochocolate World and the incredible life size Chocolate Sculptures.
A Chococard can be bought at the festival offering guests discounts, contests, prizes and free tastings.

Escorted Rail Tours to Budapest
Hungary's twin cities of Buda and Pest
Budapest is a city of two halves divided by the mighty River Danube and sewn together by a collection of beautiful, elegant bridges. The most famous is the Szechenyi Chain Bridge, the first permanent crossing to link the two halves of the city. The two parts of the city are very different; the flatter, lively region of Pest looks across the water to its older, historical neighbour, the hilly Buda that rises up away from the banks of the river.
Pest is the busy, modern part of the city, with excellent shopping, trendy bars and modern restaurants. Buda has a distinctly medieval atmosphere, with beautiful old buildings and cobbled streets. Budapest was once the joint capital of the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg Empire. The city and its buildings have been restored to their very best in what is now one of Europe's finest, grandest and most picturesque cities. Budapest is known for its baths - the hot bath water is said to flow from a hundred streams. Home to the city's famous bathing chess players, the Széchenyi Bath is Budapest's most famous outdoor baths, which was built in New Baroque style and is open all year round.

Cold thoughts for a very warm day.
And the snow was glomping softly off the trees.
And the cold would make me sniffle, drip, and sneeze.
And I walked a monstrous awful lot indeed.
I thought of where my lonely life would lead.

Who will be in Queen Elizabeth's Christmas bubble?
BHT Staff | @BH__Travel Dec 15, 2020
COVID-19 restrictions mean that this will be a very different Christmas for everyone
The Royal Family are no different. The spread of the virus has meant that everyone is being encouraged to stay at home and limit the number of close contacts they have this year.
Understandably, this is somewhat difficult to carry out during the festive season. It is a time of year when families come from far and wide to see each other and spread the festive cheer.
Remembering King George VI
Does Queen Elizabeth watch The Crown?
Who was Queen Mary I?
With the pandemic, international travel is highly discouraged. Not only that, but travel within a country is also being highly restricted, especially in the United Kingdom with their 'tier' systems.
The bubble system in the UK means that there will be a small number of people that Queen Elizabeth will be able to see over the festive season, which begs the season, who will be in that bubble?
There is space for two other households in Her Majesty's bubble, so who will make the cut?
In normal times, the whole Royal Family would descend upon Sandringham House to enjoy the festivities.
Tradition would dictate that the family would stroll to the small church on the estate for the Christmas Day service.
As we know, this year will be different in the sense that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip will be spending Christmas Day at Windsor Castle instead.
Regarding Queen Elizabeth's HMS bubble, the primary candidates for Christmas Day will be Prince Edward, Prince Andrew, and Prince Charles. All three live close to Windsor Castle, so it puts them in the running for a Christmas Day dinner!
It still remains to be seen who Queen Elizabeth will ask over for Christmas dinner, but no doubt she will see several family members over the Christmas period.
Who do you think will make the cut?
Have a look at this clip below, and let us know

Thomas Edward Flintoff, 1900-1984
by Michael Ryan
"Sunbeam performance in the Scott Trial was outstanding for a decade." So wrote the late Philip H. Smith, in his light-hearted history of the classic Scott motor-cycle trials, published in 1963. The event, originated in 1914 as a test limited to riders of Scott motorcycles, but when it resumed after the Great War, other marques were permitted to compete. Riders were classified as 'trade' or 'amateur', rather in the manner of cricket distinguishing between 'players' and 'gentlemen', although the distinction was dropped after the 1927 event. One man who made a great contribution to the Sunbeam successes, from 1925 to 1935 was Eddie Flintoff.
Thomas Edward Flintoff, was born in 1900 at Scorton Grange, Bolton on Swale, North Yorkshire. His father Charles, the son of a Yorkshire farmer had married in 1899, Mary Eugenie Sowden, a farmer's daughter from Liskeard, Cornwall. A second son, Stanley was born in 1901. Ten years later, the family were farming at Snow Hall, Great Ayton, and in 1921 they moved to Tyersal Hall, Bradford.
That was the time that Eddie bought his first Sunbeam, and joined the Bradford Motor Cycle Club, and later the Ilkley and District Motor Cycle Club. He immediately participated in Club competitions, and quickly displayed riding skills which enabled him, at his third attempt in the Scott Trial, to win the Raymond Bailey Cup for the Best Performance in the 1925 event, in which he was riding as an amateur. The following year, as a 'trade' rider, he again achieved the Best Performance in the Trial. In 1927 the best 'trade' performance was achieved by George Dance, and supported by Harold Fearnside and Eddie Flintoff, Sunbeam won the Trade Team Prize.
The marking system for the Scott Trial took into account both the time taken to complete the course, and the rider's performances at the various 'observed sections'. In 1928, Flintoff did not feature in the top three Best Performances, but nevertheless set the fastest time, and repeated this in 1929, whilst coming second on overall performance to Vic Brittain, also on a Sunbeam; these two, together with Charlie Helm won the Manufacturer's Team Prize. Incidentally 1929 was the first time that Scott riders were outnumbered by another marque - 15 Sunbeams against 13 Scotts among the 119 starters in the event. In the period 1930-35, Sunbeam won the Manufacturer's Team Prize on five out of the six occasions; the Panther team won in 1934. Eddie Flintoff was in the Sunbeam team on all five occasions, and twice won the award for Best Performance on Time only. In 1930 and 1932, younger brother Stanley Flintoff was also a member of the successful Sunbeam Team.
Stanley's competition riding was limited, as he continued to run the farm with his father; whilst Eddie was employed at a garage in Bradford, and fettled his machines in 'the tuning shed' at the farm. This became a meeting place for local enthusiasts, and a neighbour, John Hudson who later became a trouble shooter and technical writer for Norton, acknowledged that much of his motorcycling knowledge derived from the hours spent in that shed.
When Stanley married he and his new wife lived in a cottage on the farm. Father, Charles Flintoff died in 1946, and Stanley died in 1956, at the age of 55, having previously retired to the Lake District.
Eddie Flintoff's early success as an amateur riding his side-valve Sunbeam, resulted in him
becoming an official Sunbeam works rider from 1926 until 1932 when he became a 'supported' rider. What this 'works' support amounted to is uncertain; Bob Cordon Champ has observed, in respect of the winning team for the Ilkley Grand National Trial of 1929, that
"The team machines display a rugged individuality in style and preparation". By contrast there is a photograph showing Eddie Flintoff having won the main race of the day at Esholt Park, Bradford, riding the "spare 1929 T.T. Sunbeam machine". This machine remained in Eddie's ownership and was progressively adapted for trials use, with a sumpguard, and the characteristic Flintoff oil-pump guard and acquiring a four-speed, foot-change gearbox in the mid-1930's. After WW2 a set of telescopic forks, courtesy of B.S.A. were fitted, and in this guise, the machine was ridden in the Scott Trial as late as 1954.
Freak hill climbs became popular in the mid 1920's, and Eddie competed at Moor End, near Kettlewell, considered to be "the worst hill in England"! When 'The Yorkshire Evening Post' purchased land at Post Hill, Leeds and invited the Leeds Motor Club to organise sporting competitions, both the Flintoff brothers entered the first event in July 1926, and Eddie won the knock-out competition. Subsequently he held the National record for climbing this freak hill, and also competed at Hepolite Scar, Bradford. Like many sporting motorcyclists of the period Eddie Flintoff tried his hand at many forms of competition, including sand racing at Redcar, Saltburn and Southport; local grass tracks and speedway at Fullerton, Leeds. The latter he did not take a liking to, perhaps deterred by an early fall resulting in a broken collar-bone. This incident would have been prior to the introduction of the Sunbeam Dirt Track Racing model, and Eddie had probably been using his flat-tank "hill climb" machine. Eddie also competed at the first race meeting at Donington Park, in 1931 when the circuit had a loose gravel surface.
As his competitive riding reduced, Eddie committed himself to the organisation and running of club competitions. The high esteem in which he was held was marked in September 1947, when he was entertained by his friends in the Bradford and District Motor Club, and the Ilkley Club, and presented with a handsome silver rose bowl as a memento of the occasion.
At Eddie's request, this trophy became an additional award for the Scott Trial. He became
President of both Clubs, and in 1946 became President of the Yorkshire Centre of the A.C.U..
Eddie Flintoff, unlike his close friend Oliver Langton, and others of their contemporaries did not become a member of the Vintage Motor Cycle Club. He did however acquire an early 1920's Sunbeam, complete with footboards and beaded edge tyres, on which to participate in the Ilkley Reunion Trial, in which he was a consistent award winner into the 1970's.
Eddie Flintoff continued to live at Tyersal Hall, but following an accident at the farm, he died in hospital on 23rd November 1984.

On a bright, March morning snow had begun to thaw from the edge of a local loch after a big freeze. The ice had melted and, with a few tentative green shoots of new sedges coming through, there was a sense of approaching spring.
I was attracted by the abstract shape of the snow-edge and the deep, petrol-blue water contrasting with the white snow. The sedges formed rhythmic patterns and offered a colour contrast with the blue water, and vertical stems of dead umbellifer and sorrel offered a delicate counterpoint to the bold curves of the snow.
As I approached the water's edge a snipe flew up – its superb camouflage rendered it invisible to me until it broke cover. I have often watched snipe from the cover of a hide and marvelled at their camouflage; their presence, even at close quarters, is revealed only when they move. Although this painting is as much about colour and pattern in this tiny pocket of the landscape as it is about wildlife, I wanted to convey that ability of snipe to hide in plain sight. The bird is not hidden, it is just brilliantly camouflaged.

Rail fright continues to increase in the port of Gothenburg
10:50 - 03 Jun 2019 / News
During the past year, rail-borne container volumes to and from the Port of Gothenburg rose by 13 per cent. During 2019, volumes have continued to increase – through April by 18 per cent. The explanations include improvements in the port's infrastructure.

Several interrelated factors explain the increase in rail-borne goods in the Port of Gothenburg. The reliability of the port's rail system has increased with the expansion and refurbishment of the Port Line* leading into the port. Inside the terminals, efficiency has increased, partly due to APM Terminal's extensive investments in the container terminal's rail handling.
"I am happy to state that this positive trend is continuing and that the volume development within the Railport system is further on the increase. With large completed and planned rail connected investments, we have also secured capacity for further long-term growth," said Claes Sundmark, Vice President, Container, Ro-Ro and Rail at Gothenburg Port Authority.
In total, 149,000 TEU** of rail-borne container goods was transported to or from the port as a whole between January and April, compared to 126,000 TEU during the same period last year.
High pressure at transloading terminals
Much of the long-distance freight is made up of Swedish basic industry products such as steel, paper, pulp and timber, which are generally transported by rail from inland locations or the east coast to the Port of Gothenburg for onward transport by sea to export markets on the continent.
The freight often needs to be switched to containers at one of the three transloading terminals at the Port of Gothenburg. One of the transloading terminal operators are Mimab, who has had a successful run.

"We had an excellent year and a particularly good autumn, when we were working at full capacity. The trend has continued into 2019 with consistently high volumes. And there are no signs of a slow-down. On the contrary, the upturn looks set to continue," said Michael Bergman, Mimab Chief Executive, as he summed up Mimab's 2018 operations earlier this year.
After a successful 2018 with a 20 per cent upturn in volumes for Mimab, the development in the first four months of 2019 have indeed turned out to be even more successful, as volumes increased by 32 per cent, compared to the same period last year.
* The Port Line, the dedicated freight track that runs directly into the port, is being overhauled and converted into a double-track system. Several sections have already been completed, including the new double-track Marieholm Bridge, which opened back in 2016. Phase 2 was recently completed, bringing rail traffic all the way into the Container Terminal. Phase 3 of conversion of the Port Line to a double-track system is due to commence in 2019.
** TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit) is a volume measurement corresponding to a twenty-foot container.

The Continuing Spin on the Economy
Two New Small Refiner Exemption Requests Received By EPA
Fresh on the heels of EPA announcing they have granted 31 small refiner exemptions (SREs) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS), EPA data now shows that additional requests have been made.
EPA now shows that 42 SREs have been received for the 2018 compliance year as two are currently listed as being "pending petitions." Agency data previously indicated that 40 requests had been made with 31 of those being approved. The data showed that six were denied and three were declared ineligible or were withdrawn.
It is not clear when the two latest SREs were received nor is there any indication as to when the agency will make a decision on the latest requests.
Canada to Pay Dairy Farmers Hurt by Trade Deals
Canada will spend C$1.75 billion ($1.32 billion) over eight years to compensate dairy farmers facing greater competition due to free trade deals, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government said on Friday.
The move is seen as an attempt to satisfy an influential group of voters two months before a national election. Payments to be made in the first year are budgeted to take up C$345 million from the C$1.75 billion funded program.
The payments to dairy farmers are to compensate sales they have lost after trade pacts were struck with the European Union and Pacific nations, Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said in an announcement made at a dairy farm in Compton, Quebec.
Washington Insider: The Continuing Spin on the Economy
The big news this week is the increasing economic uncertainty and growing exposure to the "trade risk." Bloomberg says that President Donald Trump is working to calm the waters on talk of a weakening economy by asserting that the U.S. is "doing very well with China, and talking!" However, he suggested he wasn't ready to sign a trade deal, hours after his top economic adviser laid out a potential timeline for the resumption of substantive discussions with Beijing.
The president continues to assert that China needs a trade agreement more than the U.S. given the relatively weak condition of the Asian nation's economy.
White House economic director Larry Kudlow said on Sunday that recent phone calls between U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators had been "positive," potentially opening the door to further progress toward a deal.
More teleconference meetings with Chinese negotiators are planned over the next week to 10 days, the White House National Economic Council director said on Sunday.
"If those deputies meetings pan out, as we hope they will, and we can have a substantive renewal of negotiations then we are planning to have China come to the USA and meet with our principals to continue the negotiations and the talks," Kudlow added.
The state of the economy is key to Trump's re-election prospects in 2020; a downturn would dim the outlook for a president whose approval ratings have stayed stubbornly low, Bloomberg said. Major U.S. equity indexes, often referenced by the administration as a litmus test of its success, have been essentially flat over the past 12 months.
"There's no recession on the horizon," Kudlow claimed. He added that there were no plans for additional fresh measures to boost the economy and that the administration would stay the course on its current agenda.
At the same time, trade advisor Navarro denied on CNN that the U.S. had seen an inverted yield curve, often a forerunner of recession because it signals market expectations for weaker growth ahead. "Technically we didn't have a yield curve inversion," he said. "All we've had is a flat yield curve" that he called "the result of a very strong Trump economy." However, as recently as last Wednesday, the president had lashed out at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell specifically citing the "CRAZY INVERTED YIELD CURVE," Bloomberg noted.
Navarro once again criticized Powell and the Fed on Sunday. "The Federal Reserve chairman should look in the mirror and say 'I raised rates too fast,'" he said on CNN.
Additional Fed rate cuts beyond the quarter-point move in July will be a good thing, Navarro said, and a potential easing by the European Central Bank in September will help Europe's struggling economy.
Navarro noted that the U.S. still has "significant structural issues" with China.
In an interesting side note on the economy amid administration discussions of trade issues with China, Europe and others, an NBC-Wall Street Journal poll released Sunday showed support for free trade among Americans is on the rise, Bloomberg said.
Almost two-thirds – 64% – see free trade as good for the U.S., an all-time high for the survey series and up 7 percentage points from the last time it was asked, in 2017. Only 27% believe it's bad, citing damage to key U.S. industries, a key claim in the last campaign.
Trump and his top aides have said repeatedly that Beijing, not U.S. companies or consumers, are bearing the brunt of the tariffs imposed on imports from China. Trump tweeted on Sunday that China is "eating" the tariffs.
However, many analysts disagree and the administration is working to counter those conclusions. Navarro rejected a study by researchers at the University of Chicago, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and elsewhere that found U.S. importers are shouldering the vast majority of price changes from the tariffs, versus China's 5%. Tariffs "aren't hurting anyone in the United States," Navarro said.
However, Labor Department measures of U.S. inflation increased in July, driven by costs of shelter, apparel and used cars, and gained the most in a decade in the past two months, the report said. Economists say the boost in inflation shows the tariffs are gradually filtering through.
The tariff war has increased prices for goods and U.S. companies are paying the higher levies, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The U.S. government collected $57 billion in customs duties in the fiscal year that began Oct. 1, according to the Treasury Department.
So, we will see. The recent increases in volatility in stocks in addition to increases in consumer prices are indicators that likely will continue to increase pressure on the administration as elections draw nearer – areas in which the ag sector likely will continue to be on the front line, and which should be watched closely as they intensify, Washington Insider believes.

Jessa (Duggar) Seewald Says Sexual Abuse 'Shouldn't Be a Taboo Subject' on TLC Documentary 'Breaking the Silence'

Jessa (Duggar) Seewald and Jill (Duggar) Dillard appeared on TLC's documentary Breaking the Silence Sunday, seeking education to address the aftermath of the abuse they faced at the hands of brother Josh Duggar more than a decade ago.
The Duggar sisters' mother Michelle also participated in the sexual abuse prevention training seminar given by Darkness to Light, one of the nation's leading organizations for abuse prevention, in the wake of confirmation this past May that Josh, now 27, molested five underage girls when he was still a teenager. (His two sisters came forward as two of the victims during a conversation with Fox News's Megyn Kelly in early June.)
"I was so glad that my girls and I were able to do this together and that we could just be a support and encouragement to each other to be able to gain more information about this important topic," said Michelle, 48.
"It's amazing to understand that there are so many people that deal with this exact same thing in their own families," said Jill, 24. "So just being educated is very good."
Jessa, 22, noted, "I feel like this should be a discussion people are having, even regularly. I think that it shouldn't be a taboo subject, that we should be bringing awareness to child sexual abuse and talking about this."
The seminar was especially meaningful for Jessa, who is expecting her first child on Nov. 1, and she said she learned "things I can do to be more aware, things I can do to set up boundaries and safeguards for my child and children, hopefully, in the future."

During the one-hour special, the Duggar sisters were just two of the survivors of all ages, male and female, who shared their stories of childhood sexual molestation. Chief among these was two-time victim Erin Merryn, who is fighting to end abuse with Erin's Law legislation, which requires sexual abuse prevention education in public schools and has already been passed in 26 states.
Testimony by Teri Hatcher was featured, and Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke also shared her experience with abuse, saying, "I'm only human and sometimes the stuff I've gone through, I think about all the time, and it just brings me back."
Breaking the Silence teamed up TLC with RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) and Darkness to Light (D2L) a nonprofit organization that works to empower people to prevent child sexual abuse and will share the stories of survivors of sexual abuse.

The Ministry of Economic Growth and Job Creation is partnering with the Mona School of Business and Management (MSBM) to stage a logistics symposium.
The event will be held on Saturday (July 23) at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Regional Headquarters in Mona, St. Andrew.
Speakers at the symposium include Executive Director at Caribbean Maritime Institute (CMI), Dr. Fritz Pinnock; Chief Executive Officer at Kingston Wharves Limited, Grantley Stephenson; Chief Executive Officer, Itel-BPO Solutions, Yoni Epstein; and Director at German Ship Repair Jamaica Limited, Peter Kisslinger.
Under the theme 'Becoming a Global Logistics Gateway: Opportunities for Jamaican Businesses', the event will explore the country's readiness to respond to the changes in the global landscape, especially with the completion of the Panama Canal expansion project.
It is expected to attract approximately 200 persons from the public and private sectors, including thinkers, implementers, business strategists, companies and individuals who may wish to capitalise on the future growth of the global logistics industry.
Addressing a JIS Think Tank on July 20, Chairman of the Logistics Hub Initiative, Dr. Eric Deans, explained that the symposium will look at what it means to become a logistics gateway and how Jamaican businesses can fit into a global marketplace.
"We will engage the actual stakeholders and the business people who may want to know how they fit into this initiative, what is it that they need to do or what is in it for them…we will answer these questions on a very detailed level at this event," he pointed out.
The day's proceedings will begin with a plenary and opening ceremony featuring a presentation from the economic consulting firm Nathan Associates Inc., entitled: 'Master Plan and Industry Analysis for the Global Logistics Hub Initiative'. This session will provide an update on findings and state of developments relating to the global logistics hub initiative.
There will also be panel discussions on three key areas within the global logistics industry – manufacturing, transportation and services.
The session on transportation will highlight the intermodal nature of a logistics hub and the major opportunities for local participation in moving raw materials and finished goods to and from and between modal points.
Within the context of a global logistics operation, manufacturing presents major opportunities for the local industry and artisans.
The symposium will last from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Other partners in the staging of the event are Jamaica Logistics Hub Taskforce, CMI, Port Authority of Jamaica and the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ).
