Any particular recommendations from William James' "Essays in Radical Empiricism", aside from "World of Pure Experience"?
Other recommended works in the same spirit, or good adversarial works wrt WoPE are also appreciated.
Thanks in advance

And I say, depends where you look! By the 1st Century CE, so much has shifted to scholastic analysis and away from meditative practices. So as I said above, stuff gets very complicated very quickly—though there’s still a rhetoric of “see for yourself”, even if most people aren’t

I don't that historical narrative works. It's a modernist conceit. We don't know that it was all about meditative practices before Abhidharma; on the contrary, we've all sorts of evidence that it's always been about scriptural interpretation, which is what Abhidharma grew from.
