Human beings can change their lives by changing their attitudes. This is the greatest discovery of every generation. ——William James William James (born January 11, 1842, in New York, USA, died on August 26, 1910, in New Hampshire, New Hampshire) was an American philosopher. His brother Henry James was a famous writer. Together with Charles Sanders Pierce, he founded pragmatism. William James received his education in France, where he majored in psychology. At that time the difference between psychology and philosophy was not very great. After returning to the United States, he taught at Harvard University. Although he did not believe in the use of experiments to study human psychology, he was one of the first experimental psychologists in the United States. William James was a very tolerant philosopher. Although he believes that practice is the way to live, he does not believe that people can obtain objective truth through practice. Although everyone obtains his view of the world from the practice of life, James believes that it is natural that everyone obtains his view of the world from the practice of life. On this point he differed from John Dewey. James also made great achievements in religious philosophy. He listed many different "practices of faith" (1902) and used his pragmatic perspective to appreciate these different practices. He believes: To study a religious belief, a scholar should study the core of the religious belief without having to study its organizational structure. Because the organizational structure of a religion reflects only a small part of its core. Intense, even pathological, practical experience is a subject for psychologists, not philosophers. Because psychologists are like psychological microscopes, they can greatly magnify our daily lives. To truly understand truths that are universal, shared by all practices, and confirmed by history, one must acquire a "super-belief." This super belief cannot be proven by practice, but it can help a person make his life richer and better. He is the main founder of the "American Psychic Research Society" (established in 1885). He has spent his life exploring transpersonal psychological phenomena and parapsychology. He believes that there are aspects of human spiritual life that cannot be explained by biological concepts. , some "transcendent value" can be understood through certain phenomena; it also emphasizes that people have huge potential that has yet to be developed, and only a small part of human consciousness is utilized by people. He has participated in meditation activities similar to meditation and said that meditation is a method to arouse deep willpower and can increase personal vitality and vitality. He has also done empirical research on psychic mediums. In addition, William straddles the fields of philosophy, psychology and psychiatry and is very interested in superconscious automatic writing. He has collected a large number of cases and found that teenagers can best express their inner entanglements and personality conflicts through this method. He also noticed that automatic writing can Writing can sometimes solve the crux of a criminal's crime, but not everyone can write automatically and must use hypnosis or other methods. Interestingly, Jane Roberts, the author of the New Age Master "The Book of Seth", received a message after William's death and published "An American Writer's Survival after Death: William" through Jane's automatic writing. ． James's Worldview" (The Afterdeath Journal of an American Philosopher, 1978), which in addition to in-depth commentary, also discusses issues in American history, psychology, psychology, and democracy.
