conversations.value: An Embarrassment of Riches
  Despite James's many accomplishments, his life was not without its setbacks. He suffered from ailments of the eyes, skin, stomach, and back. He was diagnosed with neurasthenia and depression. He contracted smallpox in Brazil. Three siblings, including novelist Henry James and diarist Alice James, were afflicted with invalidism. His beloved sister, Alice, died of breast cancer at 44.
  However, James believed that we are meant to spend our lives being curious, active, and fully engaged. He was also one of the first to try to reconcile science and religion. In particular, he was interested in human spiritual experience, a realm that is difficult to capture by logic or observation, and impossible to nail down scientifically.
  Yet he found a way. James is the father of the distinctly American philosophy known as Pragmatism, the doctrine that truth reveals itself in practice, regardless of its origins. Something is true if it doesn't contradict known facts and it works.
  James thought a belief should be judged by its results. He was more interested in the fruits of an idea than its roots and advised people to look for a truth's "cash value," arguing that a belief is true if it allows you to live a fuller, richer life.

conversations.value: Jesus himself wrote nothing, of course. And Jefferson felt his teachings had suffered badly at the hands of his editors. In particular, he believed that the apostle Paul was "the first corruptor of the doctrines of Jesus," turning the religion of Jesus into a religion about Jesus. This, in his view, led to fanciful tales, dogma, and what he called "priestcraft." Jefferson wanted to rescue Jesus from these distortions.
  In his bible, he compiled the passages he believed were truthful to reveal a master whose "system of morality was the most benevolent and sublime... ever taught, and consequently more perfect than those of the ancient philosophers."
  Jefferson credited Socrates, Epicurus, Pythagoras, Cicero, Seneca, Epictetus, and others with teaching followers to govern their passions. But he considered their views on our duties to each other to be sorely underdeveloped. He concluded that Jesus's precepts were "the most pure, benevolent, and sublime which have ever been preached to man," calling him the greatest moral philosopher and "the first of human Sages."
  Today, Jefferson is variously described as an agnostic, a Deist, a skeptic, a Unitarian, or a freethinker. But in another letter to Rush he wrote, "I am a Christian, in the only sense he wished any one to be; sincerely attached to his doctrines, in preference to all others; ascribing to himself every human excellence; and believing he never claimed any other."
  For Jefferson, the subject of religion was fascinating, alarming, enraging, and inspiring. He blithely predicted near the end of his life that reason would ultimately prevail and every young man in the country then living would die a Unitarian. He was spectacularly wrong about that, of course. But millions of educated Americans, Christian and Jewish and of no particular congregation, now hold similar views.
