James asked us if we could still love our "Automatic sweetheart" once we discovered she was really a machine. James answered the question by stating:
A) Yes because true love is based on the behaviors of love, (e.g., glances, caresses, sighs) and not consciousness.
B) No, because behind love is not behavior but a subjective mental state called love.
C) Yes because the belief in other minds does not pass the pragmatic test.
D) James never tried to answer his own question, but he did stimulate debate.
