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

There's also a rhetoric that you can't see for yourself and you have to trust the word of the Buddha (and these are rhetorics we're talking about, not methods or procedures in James's sense)
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That’s fair, I’m building off of contemporary interpretive stuff, starting from Rāhula, but also drawing on Schmithausen...all of these questions are super difficult!

I like Schmithausen's case for Yogacāra being motivated in part by needing to make sense of certain meditative experiences, but the making sense of them involves a lot of theory (nothing wrong with that of course)
