Rethinking on Faith Doctrine as William Jamesʹs "The Will to Believe"

On faith are there several expositions, among which is William Jamesʹs Will-to-Believe doctrine. Paying attention to the affirmations for and against his view, the essay explains Jamesʹs viewpoint, presenting a re-reading of his doctrine. The author concentrates on things such as the function of affective-emotional dimensions in faith, humanʹs concerns as the criterion for judgment, real faith, relativism, worldly attitude in Jamesʹs analysis. And finally, it concludes that Jamesʹs viewpoint is defensible on the whole.
