William James

William James (1842-1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist known as the 'Father of American psychology.' He was a leading figure in establishing psychology as a formal discipline and founded the philosophical school of pragmatism alongside Charles Sanders Peirce. His most influential work, *The Principles of Psychology* (1890), shaped the field for generations and influenced major thinkers like Bertrand Russell and John Dewey.
