Title: 
James (and Hume) on Radical Empiricism and Object

Abstract:
James presents his version of empiricism as *Radical* empiricism,
distinguishing it from “ordinary” empiricism.  He emphasizes the
experiential reality of relations, especially conjunctive ones, and uses
them ingeniously to account for Subject/Object distinction without
postulating anything unobserved.  I will discuss James’ Radical Empiricism
contrasting it with Hume’s empiricism, and his account of the
subject/object distinction for which he introduces the notion of “pure
experience.”  Although my focus for this talk will be on James’ accounts, I
hope to show at the end that there is an interesting parallel between
James’ explanation of subject/object and Hume’s.
