This distinctive collection of classical and contemporary readings
comes at a time when pragmatism is undergoing a renaissance across
a spectrum of disciplines. Pragmatism and Religion addresses an
important but overlooked issue: whether or not the deep passions
and commitments of American pragmatism's central figures are
independent of Western religious traditions. The first of the
book's three sections samples pragmatism's religious roots.
"Classical Sources" includes works by John Winthrop, Jonathan
Edwards, Henry David Thoreau, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, as well as
Charles Sanders Peirce's "Evolutionary Love," William James's
"Philosophy" (chapter 18 of The Varieties of Religious Experience),
and selections by John Dewey, W. E. B. Du Bois, John McDermott, and
Richard Rorty. Part 2, "Contemporary Essays on the American
Tradition of Religious Thought," features Richard Bernstein's
"Pragmatism's Common Faith," Stuart Rosenbaum's "Morality and
Religion," and Robert Westbrook's "Uncommon Faith," among others.
Part 3, "Theism, Secularism, and Religion: Seeking a Common Faith"
includes Raymond D. Boisvert's "What Is Religion?" Sandra B.
Rosenthal's "Spirituality and the Spirit of American Pragmatism,"
Carl Vaught's "Dewey's Conception of the Religious Dimension of
Experience," and Steven C. Rockefeller's "Faith and Ethics in an
Interdependent World," among others. Stuart Rosenbaum's
contemporary contributors are among the best in the fields of
pragmatism and pragmatism in religion. A unique resource,
Pragmatism and Religion will serve students of religion, history,
and philosophy, as well as those in interdisciplinary core courses.
