Marchetti offers a revisionist account of James’s contribution to moral thought in the light of his pragmatic conception of philosophical activity. He sketches a composite picture of a Jamesian approach to ethics revolving around the key notion and practice of a therapeutic critique of one’s ordinary moral convictions and style of moral reasoning.
