Other minds and God: Russell and Stout on James and Schiller

Tim Button
2017
In 1907–8, Russell and Stout presented an objection against James and Schiller, to which both James and Schiller replied. In this paper, I shall revisit their transatlantic exchange. Doing so will yield a better understanding of Schiller's relationship to a worryingly solipsistic brand of phenomenalism. It will also allow us to appreciate a crucial difference between Schiller and James; a difference which James explicitly downplayed.Forthcoming in In M. Baghramian and S. Marchetti (eds.),
