Suckiel tells us that after James' "monumental" Principles of Psychology (1890) his 'books' were simply aggregations of lectures and articles. This book, Some Problems of Philosophy, is his start on a systematic treatise for metaphysics which offered his own unique philosophical perspectives.

Horace M. Kallen, a student of James and another young philosopher, Ralph Barton Perry edited this last work of James.

Perry went on to write a Pulitzer Prize winning biography of James called, The Thought and Character of William James.

xi-xii

 Suckiel concludes, "Some Problems of Philosophy affords a picture of James at the end of his life, seeking to recapitulate the fundamental principles of his philosophy, and to extend his explorations into new and more profound domains. James is among the most personally involved philosophers. Many of his works demonstrate a strong pedagogical dimension."
