ABSTRACT
The Agnostic attitude towards the problem of personality is based on the assumption that the science of Psychology leaves the problem open, whereas to some psychologists it seems that their science, definitely decides it against the existence of Personality. Now, the Agnostic attitude seems to some people a rational attitude to assume towards the question whether there is or is not a Divine Personality. James' argument starts from the sense of personal identity. The sense of our personal identity, James says, is a conclusion grounded either on the resemblance in a fundamental respect, or on the continuity before the mind, of the phenomena compared. James has completed his analysis of the Empirical Self or Me, and has enumerated its constituents namely, the Material Self, the Social Self, and the Spiritual Self. The psychologists who disbelieve in metaphysics are especially concerned to rescue the problem of personality from metaphysical discussion, and to decide it, if possible, by psychology on scientific grounds.
