who is william james. >> he is spoken as of the father of american psychology. >> here's a quote from him. the faculty of voluntarily bringing back a wandering attention over and over again is the very root of judgment, character and will. that means the power of voluntarily bringing back and focusing it. the wanring attention. no one is in possession of his faculties if he have it not. an education which should improv the faculty would be the education power excellence. but it is easier to divine this ideal than give practical instructions for bringing it about. you do give a lot of practical instructions to bring it about. yes, this is a demonstration of william james' lack of awareness of what buddhist meditation is all about. it is only 2600 years old at this point. so it was around but he didn't ve access. but isn't it interesting, the emphasis he puts on the requirement to be able to concentrate and to focus. exactly. >> now, do you find that because of the high tempo of the age in which we live, it is very difficult to concentrate? you're not kidding. for everybody. but particu

steve and i have both been speaking as if everybody here has read everything william james and john doe have ever written -- it's a couple of words about philosophical pragmatism. this is a movement that develops in the late 19th and early 20th century from the exasperation that some philosophers felt with the confidence that some other philosophers had that there were systems that would answer all the questions we have about issues in politics or issues of ethics. and they said, when you don't have certain answers, you should feel free to experiment and you should judge the consequences of your experiment. now that is not going to work in every case. mathematics works alright assuming that two and two are going to equal four but in many instances it is better to lay out a hypothesis, tested and perhaps recalculated if things don't work out. this is a way of thinking that becomes a tradition that runs through all of 20th century american thought and is revived in a powerful way during the years obama himself is being educated and there are various reasons why one could identify him wit

( laughter ) >> all: yeah. >> stahl: it's not...
