As I recall, James was a subjectivist-- he felt the best way to understand the mind was to examine one's own flow of consciousness. This would place him as pretty woo by scientific standards, but pretty high in my book. I'd place him at a diametric opposite to B.F.Skinner, in which the mechanism of mind is irrelevant so long as you can figure out how to manipulate the external behaviors of an organism (or person).
