Such interpretations overlook the first mentions of radical empiricism in James’s \u003cem\u003eWill to Believe \u003c\/em\u003eargument. By attending to James's metaphysics of experience, this book argues that James’s universe is a “quasi-chaos” of becoming in our relations with nature and other people, so that things independent of us relate, evolve, and change in space and time. James’s metaphysics of relations is what unifies his various psychological, poetic, mystical, and religious commitments. These metaphysical implications have consequences for how James understood what metaphysics can do in philosophy, how it relates to theology, what we can say about his \u003cem\u003ewill-to-believe \u003c\/em\u003eargument, mysticism, free-will, God’s finitism, the problem of One and the Many, and panpsychism.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJ.
