JAMES, whose “radical empiricism” included all the things that one can experience and excluded all the things that one cannot experience, planted the seeds of modern psychological studies of consciousness at the turn of the twentieth century. He developed a phenomenal description of the stream of consciousness and suggested links between consciousness and aspects of mental functioning such as attention and primary memory, which, 100 years later, are still major topics of research. Creatively rich, this early text remains a classic.
