The Collegial Seminar will meet Friday, February 28, at noon in the Private Dining Room.
The presentation will be "From Virtue to Morality: Republicanism in the Texts and
Contexts of William James," by Paul Jerome Croce, assistant professor of history.
ABSTRACT:
William James rarely made open declarations of his political views, but when he did
he usually expressed republican (the ideology, not the party) political outlook of a
liberal, reformist bent. Even beyond his avowed politics, James's republicanism ran
deep. He both used the term explicitly and metaphorically to explain his philosophical
positions and demonstrated repeated loyalty to the republican demand for morality as
central to both theoretical inquiry and public affairs.
Yet James did not adopt republicanism without change. While earlier republicans
defined virtue in its public orientation, James emphasized morality as a distinctly
private virtue. His social vision began with an attention to the morality of
individuals.
