'By their fruits ye shall know them, not by their roots.' The
Varieties of Religious Experience (1902) is William James's classic
survey of religious belief in its most personal, and often its most
heterodox, aspects. Asking questions such as how we define evil to
ourselves, the difference between a healthy and a divided mind, the
value of saintly behaviour, and what animates and characterizes the
mental landscape of sudden conversion, James's masterpiece stands
at a unique moment in the relationship between belief and culture.
Faith in institutional religion and dogmatic theology was fading
away, and the search for an authentic religion rooted in
personality and subjectivity was a project conducted as an urgent
necessity. With psychological insight, philosophical rigour, and a
determination not to jump to the conclusion that in tracing
religion's mental causes we necessarily diminish its truth or
value, in the Varieties James wrote a truly foundational text for
modern belief. Matthew Bradley's wide-ranging new edition examines
the ideas that continue to fuel modern debates on atheism and
faith. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics
has made available the widest range of literature from around the
globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to
scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of
other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading
authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date
bibliographies for further study, and much more.
