Standing at the crossroads of psychology and religion, this catalyzing work applied the scientific method to a field abounding in abstract theory. William James believed that individual religious experiences, rather than the precepts of organized religions, were the backbone of the world's religious life. His discussions of conversion, repentance, mysticism and saintliness, and his observations on actual, personal religious experiences - all support this thesis. In his introduction, Martin E. Marty discusses how James' pluralistic view of religion led to his remarkable tolerance of extreme forms of religious behaviour, his challenging, highly original theories, and his welcome lack of pretension in all of his observations on the individual and the divine.

William James: The Essential Writings

The importance of this collection of writings of William James lies in the fact that it has been arranged to provide a systematic introduction to his major philosophical discoveries, and precisely to those doctrines and theories that are of most burning current interest. William James: The Essential Writings is a series of philosophical arguments on some of the most "obscure and head-cracking problems" in contemporary philosophy; the relation of thought to its object; the interrelationships between meaning and truth; the levels and structures of experience; the degrees of reality; the nature of the embodied self; the relation of ethics, aesthetics, and religious experience to man's strenuously and "heroically" active nature; and, above all, the structurization of the experienced life-world as the validating ground and origin of all theory; Bruce Wilshire has provided an introduction to William James's thought on these and other related points which is at once both substantial and subtle.

Excerpt from La Volonté de CroireIl va sans dire que cette efficacité pratique ne doit pas ètre entendue dans un sens étroit et purement matériel; elle embrasse la réalisation des plus hautes aspirations spirituelles, des préoccupations morales, esthétiques, religieuses, de tous les mouvements de l'âme qui émanent des sources profondes de l'ètre. Est pratique toute expérience qui peut provoquer une satisfaction mentale, une impression de repos et de paix, un sentiment de cohérence et de rationalité 2. La recherche de la vérité se confond ainsi, dans une certaine mesure, avec la recherche de l'ordre; elle consiste a voir clair dans les phénomènes, à accorder entre eux les divers éléments d'une expérience.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
