This book offers a new interpretation of William James's ethical
and religious thought. Michael Slater shows that James's conception
of morality, or what it means to lead a moral and flourishing life,
is intimately tied to his conception of religious faith, and argues
that James's views on these matters are worthy of our
consideration. He offers a reassessment of James's 'will to
believe' or 'right to believe' doctrine, his moral theory, and his
neglected moral arguments for religious faith. And he argues that
James's pragmatic account of religion is based on an ethical view
of the function of religion and a realist view of the objects of
religious belief and experience, and is compatible with his larger
conception of pragmatism. The book will appeal to readers
interested in the history of modern philosophy, especially
pragmatism, as well as those interested in moral philosophy,
religion, and the history of ideas.
