This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on William James' essay, The Will To Believe, and examines in particular his views on religious belief and commitment, and his contention that our passional or volitional nature can and should play a role in it.
