James' friend and pupil, Dr. Horace Meyer Kallen oversaw the publishing of the manuscript (in consultation with Ralph Barton Perry and Henry James, Jr.) and reconciled the various manuscript drafts.

The book was published as: James, William, 1842-1910. Some problems of philosophy: a beginning of an introduction to philosophy. New York: Longmans, Green and Co., 1911.
