Kurzbeschreibung
"A milestone in religious thought. . . . James combines a positive approach to religion with a non-dogmatic and thoroughly empirical approach to the religious life. The combination is not only rare but creative." -Reinhold Niebuhr
Philosopher and psychologist William James championed the value of individual experience with an eloquence and zeal that placed him beside Emerson and Whitman as a classic exponent of American democratic culture. In The Varieties of Religious Experience he takes on "the very inner citadel of human life" by focusing on intensely religious individuals from different cultures and eras, in order to explore from within how religion enriches human lives.
For almost thirty years, The Library of America has presented America's best and most significant writing in acclaimed hardcover editions. Now, a new series, Library of America Paperback Classics, offers attractive and affordable books that bring The Library of America's authoritative texts within easy reach of every reader. Each book features an introductory essay by one of a leading writer, as well as a detailed chronology of the author's life and career, an essay on the choice and history of the text, and notes.
The contents of this Paperback Classic are drawn from William James: Writings 1902-1910, volume number 38 in the Library of America series. That volume is joined in the series by a companion volume, number 58, William James: Writings 1878-1899.

a classic that does not age
1. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
James investigates the wide range of religious experiences reported by very different religious figures to broaden his understanding of human nature. The quality,care and clarity of James observations is of the highest order.
Just skip the introduction by Jaroslav Pelikan that is unexpectedly self-centered, overbearing and graceless; just the opposite of James, this gentle giant. Pelikan attempts to steer you to unwarranted conclusions about James's views before you start reading. In a dumbfouding feat of editorial arrogance, Pelikan has even deleted from James' original title its second part that I find essential to grasping the spirit of this remarkable effort: "A Study in Human Nature"
This Library of America edition is excellent in size, format and font selection. You can take it anywhere with you. This LoA edition contrasts with the oversized and unwieldy volume published in 2009 by Seven Treasures Publications that I had just bought on Amazon and in which the footnotes are inserted right in the middle of the text. An unreadable first for me. Please beware.

Classic text which gets across a moving view of religious experience. James was a pioneer of his time and truly began what those in academia examine today.
