Book Description
The "science of religion" is an important element in the interpretation of William James's work and in the methodology of the study of religion. An authority on pragmatism and the philosophy of religion, Wayne Proudfoot and a stellar group of contributors from a variety of disciplines including religion, philosophy, psychology, and history, bring innovative perspectives to James's work. Each contributor focuses on a specific theme in The Varieties of Religious Experience and suggests how James's treatment of that theme can fruitfully be brought to bear, sometimes with revisions or extensions, on current debate about religious experience.
Review
"a collection of fresh readings of Varieties that propose new relations between James's analysis of religion and contemporary debates in philosophy, religion and social sciences...these essays are of exceptionally high quality." -- Center for the Study of Science and Religion Newsletter
"William James is honored in this volume of critical essays celebrating the importance and impact of The Varieties of Religious Experience."
"His admirers are always inspired... to contribute to the larger whole by putting their highest... and most profound thoughts forward." -- Eugene Taylor, Religious Studies
"This book is indispensable for anyone who wants to keep abreast of the best recent work on William James's The Varieties of Religious Experience. The contributors could hardly be more eminent, and the essays they have written for this volume could hardly be more thoughtful and provocative." -- Jeffrey Stout, Princeton University
