William James Studies offers provocative
new scholarship on the life, work, and influence of William James. This
issue features essays by Randy Friedman, Amy Kittelstrom, Joel Krueger,
and Ruth Anna Putnam focusing on religion, morality, pragmatism, and consciousness;
and on James's influence on John Dewey and Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida.
In addition, we present two addresses by past presidents of the William
James Society, delivered at annual meetings of the American Philosophical
Association: Linda Simon's "Wild Facts in Context" and Charlene Haddock
Seigfried's response to a panel of scholars—John Capps, Megan Mustain,
David Perley, and Richard Shusterman—reassessing Seigfried's William
James's Radical Reconstruction of Philosophy. Future issues of the journal
will contain addresses by former presidents John McDermott and William Gavin.

Inaugurating this publication has been both complicated
and deeply satisfying. We are grateful to the University of Illinois Press
for agreeing to house the journal, and especially to Paul Arroyo, who has
worked closely with us to design and plan the first issue. We greatly appreciate
the support and responses of our distinguished Editorial Board and of many
other scholars, as well, for their willingness to review submissions and
their timely return of comments. And we are thankful, too, to those who
submitted essays for this and future issues. The quality of these submissions
has been impressive, and we hope you find these essays as significant and
compelling as we do. We look forward to receiving essays for future issues.
