Smasher Upal

Discussing William James’s “The Will to Believe” and continuing our discussion from Episode 20 on James’s conception of truth as described in his books Pragmatism and The Meaning of Truth, again featuring guest podcaster Dylan Casey.

This is a 31-minute preview of our vintage 1 hr, 38-minute episode which you can buy at partiallyexaminedlife.com/store or get for free with PEL Citizenship (see partiallyexaminedlife.com/membership). You can also purchase the full episode in the iTunes Store: Search for “Partially Examined Pragmatism faith” and look under “Albums.”

Does pragmatism give ground for religious belief, like if I say it feels good for me to believe in God, is that in any sense a legitimate grounds for that belief? Is belief in science or rationality itself a form of faith? Is religious belief a “forced choice,” or does it just not matter what you believe?

Also, we sort further through James on truth: truth is created by us, but what does that mean? That only statements actually verified or otherwise useful are true, or can have a truth value (true of false) at all? In saying that we create truth, does that make James a relativist, and if so, is that bad?

Track : Kaash Yeh Pal
Artist : Jal The Band

Sajna de ba jo main te
Jike hun ki karna rabba
Anju bhi hun mukh gaye sare
Hun te mila de rabba

Kismat ka ye khel hai
Milna tha humne kabhi
Hathon ki lakeeron mein
Likha tha ye sabhi

Koi jaane naa maane
Ye saath hain kitna haseen

kash ye pal tham jaaye
Aap ke hum ban jaaye
Jannat bhulake hum teri
Aankhon ke ashq ban jaaye

kash ye pal tham jaaye
Aap ke hum ban jaaye
Jannat bhulake hum teri
Aankhon ke ashq ban jaaye

Janam janam ka
ye saath hain
chut ta hi aise nahi

pyaar tera aisa mila ke
ab koi bhaata nahin

Bahon mein aa ke teri
Saason mein simat jaaye

kash ye pal tham jaaye
Aap ke hum ban jaaye
Jannat bhulake hum teri
Aankhon ke ashq ban jaaye

kash ye pal tham jaaye
Aap ke hum ban jaaye
Jannat bhulake hum teri
Aankhon ke ashq ban jaaye

Ashq ban jaaye
Pal tham jaaye
Ashq ban jaaye
ye pal tham jaaye

Haathon ki
Kismat Ka
Koi jaane
Na maane
Ye saath hai kitnaa Haseen

kash ye pal (na na na na na)
Aap ke hum (na na na na na)
Jannat bhulake hum teri (na na na na na)
Aankhon ke ashq ban jaaye (na na na na na)

kash ye pal tham jaaye
Aap ke hum ban jaaye
Jannat bhulake hum teri
Aankhon ke ashq ban jaaye

The Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast by some guys who were at one point set on doing philosophy for a living but then thought better of it. Each episode, we pick a text and chat about it with some balance between insight and flippancy. You don't have to know any philosophy, or even to have read the text we're talking about to (mostly) follow and (hopefully) enjoy the discussion.
