[MD] W.J. Eastern influences

[david buchanan]

Marsha said:
Bob Doyle stated that W.J. was the first!  And he bemoaned that other philosophers borrowed from W.J. without giving him proper credit.  But that's just foolishness.  It has been documented that W.J. read and reread, in the often cited crisis period of his life, Buddhist and Vedic texts. ...

Marsha later added:
The post was about William James and the comment made by Bob Doyle, and a legitimate question.

Bob Doyle's statement has nothing to do with Buddhism or Vedic texts. He said James was the first to come up with a two-stage model of free will. Your question is not only illegitimate, it's predicated on a fictional claim that no sane person would make.
