William James, William James

John J. McDermott, The Writings of William James: A Comprehensive Edition , University of Chicago Press, 1977 revised edition, ISBN 0-226-39188-4, pp. 812–58.

James claimed that it was only when he was under the influence of nitrous oxide that he was able to understand Hegel. William James, "Subjective Effects of Nitrous Oxide" He concluded that while the revelations of the mystic hold true, they hold true only for the mystic; for others, they are certainly ideas to be considered, but can hold no claim to truth without personal experience of such.
