Tulee mieleen Iivanan miehen menestysteos The Art of the Deal 1987. Matkiko Trump Kunderaa (Ivanan idea?) vai molemmat Henry Jamesia (The Art of Fiction 1884). Mytomaniastahan on kyse kummallakin.
ellauri077.html on line 316: Se on kylä selvä että Jim ei varmaan paljon muistuta Wallun isää Jamesia. Se ei kyllä ollut mikään filmihullu postmodernisti, vaan ihan vaan vanhan koulun positivisteja. Jamesista tuttua voi kyllä olla toi kyvyttömyys viestiä. Ilmeisesti viestiminen ei ole Wallunkaan pitkä valtti, kun kokonainen sukupolvi sananselittäjiä on jäänyt riitelemään siitä mitä kirjoittaja on mahtanut tarkoittaa yli 1000:n sivun kirjalla.
ellauri082.html on line 385: James oli empiristi ja asetti perustaksi sen, mikä sisältyy välittömään kokemukseen. Filosofiassa jamesläinen ontologia oli pluralismia. Filosofisesti Jamesia pidetään idealismin ja Peirceä realismin kannattajana. Jamesin mukaan pragmatismi on panteistinen filosofia.
ellauri082.html on line 389: Jamesia pidetään nykyaikaisen uskontopsykologian perustajana. James kirjoitti muun muassa amerikkalaisen psykologian perusteoksena pidetyn The Principles of Psychology, joka ilmestyi vuonna 1890. Teoksillaan The Will to Believe (1897), The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902, suom. Uskonnollinen kokemus), Pragmatism (1907, suom. Pragmatismi) ja The Meaning of Truth (1909) James loi maineen yhtenä aikansa merkittävimmistä uskontofilosofeista. William Jamesin vuonna 1896 pitämän esitelmän ”The Will to Believe” mukaan uskonnollinen usko on äärettömän riskin ottamista. Se on kuin vuorikiipeilijän hengenvaarallinen loikka, joka ei voi toteutua ilman vankkaa uskoa hypyn onnistumiseen.
ellauri109.html on line 549: His first, and longest, novel, “Letting Go,” published in 1962, lacked the vibrancy of the early stories, and he struggled for the next several years to free himself from its slightly ponderous Jamesian style.
ellauri151.html on line 533: There are three traditions of conceptual antitheodicy: Kantian, Jamesian and Hamannian antitheodicies.
ellauri151.html on line 536: Jamesian antitheodicies emphasize that God and the world order must be reinterpreted in terms of practical and moral action and from a pluralist perspective that can account for experience and moral effort. Siis mitä?

The stories give Jamesian and Hamannian antitheodicies. God is said to be good and omnipotent,
ellauri153.html on line 554: Now that the problem of evil has been exposed as a conceptual confusion, the way is clear for a Jamesian science of religions and worldviews. The methods of grammatical description can be extended to the practices and ways of sense-making in different worldviews: how they give meaning to moral practices and how do they approach the intelligibility of the world? What practical responses do they have for coping with evil? For example, the grammar of seeing-as for models and metaphors can be applied to the metaphors in the Hebrew Bible for God’s activity to understand what it is to see the world as God’s creation. The grammar of virtues can be used to describe Buddhist practices and explore, how these approaches contribute to the human good. Similar approaches can be taken to secular worldviews as well. These descriptions can then be used to assess the worldviews through dialogical encounters between them. However, one thing should be clear. There is no point in devaluing the world by arguing for the meaninglessness of life or atheism on the basis of evil, or in giving justifications for evils that can stand in the way of divine or human meliorist projects of fighting for justice. To paraphrase the judgment of the Divine Judge in the Book of Job, such approaches are not even wrong. They are as meaningless as life itself.

Hän ei tosin ollut hyvä ystävä, vaan lähinnä ”iilimato”, joka roikkui Jamesin, Sirius Mustan ja Remus Lupinin seurassa. Peter ihaili Jamesia, hänen rohkeuttaan, taitojaan ja tapaansa osoittaa pientä kapinaakin koulussa. Meillä asuu joku Peter Piskuila portaiden alla, käy öisin vanhassa kompostissa syömässä. Nyt on ostettu 3 rotanloukkua, jotka voivat koitua sille päänmenoxi.

ellauri257.html on line 419: Upon the 2009 American release (of the book, after the film of course, this is America), Michael Dirda wrote in The Washington Post that Pornografia "seems as sick, as pathologically creepy a novel as one is ever likely to read. In some ways, it resembles a rather more polymorphously perverse version of Les Liaisons Dangereuses or one of those disturbing fictions by European intellectuals that blend the philosophical with the erotic: Think of Georges Bataille's The Story of the Eye or Pierre Klossowski's Roberte Ce Soir. ... Through its sado-masochistic material and its almost Henry Jamesian analyses of human motives, Pornografia underscores Gombrowicz's lifelong philosophical obsession: the quest for authenticity." Dirda continued: "Certainly, most readers will find Pornografia perturbing, or worse: repulsive, confusing, ugly. As Milosz once said of Gombrowicz: 'He had no reverence whatsoever for literature. He derided it as a snobbish ritual, and if he practiced it, he attempted to get rid of all its accepted rules.'"
xxx/ellauri179.html on line 619: Novick’s attempt to find love affairs in James’ life reminds me of the 1920s, when there were no biographies of James, and critics loved to speculate on the mysteries of his privacy. Van Wyck Brooks, a skillful writer of pastiche, produced his quasi-biographical Pilgrimage of Henry James to prove the novelist was a literary failure because he had uprooted himself from the United States. Edna Kenton, a devoted Jamesian in Greenwich Village, demonstrated in a biting review in The Bookman that Brooks used important James quotations out of context. Years later, Brooks confessed to having nightmares “in which Henry James turned great luminous menacing eyes upon me.”
xxx/ellauri312.html on line 544: Rortyn omat, joskus omituiset, Jamesian ja Deweyanin uudelleenlausunnot teemoja” (PSH, xiii). Nämä uudelleenlausunnot menevät niin pitkälle kuin suosittelevat sitä, mitä James ja Deweyn olisi pitänyt sanoa. James should have been satisfied with ‘‘The Will to Believe’’ rather than ending with a ‘‘brave and exuberant ‘‘Conclusion’’ to Varieties of Religious Experience’’. Bernstein finds Rorty guilty of fabricating a Nietzscheanized James or a Wittgensteinianized Derrida or a Heideggerianized Dewey. In this way, Rorty practiced something of what the ancients called "wisdom", and we moderns call "self help".
