Жизнь американского философа Уильяма Джеймса (1842—1910), ведущего представителя прагматизма и функционализма, которого принято называть "отцом современной психологии", не была богата событиями, не считая того, что он дважды удостаивался чести возглавить Американскую психологическую ассоциацию, основал в Гарварде, где бессменно преподавал, первую в США лабораторию прикладной психологии, а на склоне лет увлекся спиритизмом.

But it doesn't have to be.
