Frederick R. Bauer captures the essence of William James in
"Science, God's Hard Gift." We have all heard the word "pragmatic."
It entered our everyday vocabulary as a result of a series of
lectures delivered by William James, the greatest of all great
American thinkers. He gave those lectures in 1906, four years
before his death at age sixty-eight, in 1910. In the first of those
lectures, James described the type of person he wanted to reach, a
person not unlike a large number of persons today: "He wants facts;
he wants science," James said, "but he also wants a religion."
James did not live to see the incredible new scientific
discoveries of the 1900s. Those discoveries have led increasing
numbers of experts to claim that modern science has made religion
"obsolete." "Science, God's Hard Gift" celebrates this centenary of
James's death by updating and expanding his ideas on pragmatism for
those contemporaries who want facts and science, but also a
religion.
