Muitos já destacaram o interesse de Borges nas doutrinas filosóficas em toda sua obra; menos evidente foi seu permanente interesse no pragmatismo de James. Nos prólogos a Pragmatismo (1945) e a Variedades de Experiência Religiosa (1985), Borges descreve as teses de James à luz de seu interesse em questoes metafísicas, tais como a possibilidade da liberdade e o mundo como produto da mente.
