Varieties of Religious Experience

William James (1842 - 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist. He was one of the leading thinkers of the nineteenth century and is often hailed as one of the most influential American philosophers of all time. This fascinating volume explores the subject of religious experiences, looking at its nature and its relationship with the human mind. Contents include: "e;Religion and Neurology"e;, "e;Circumscription of the Topic"e;, "e;The Reality of the Unseen"e;, "e;The Religion of Healthy-Mindedness"e;, "e;The Sick Soul"e;, "e;The Divided Self, and the process of its Unification"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
