'Is life worth living? Yes, a thousand times yes when the world
still holds such spirits as Professor James.' - Gertrude Stein A
classic of American thought, William James' The Varieties of
Religious Experience is an extraordinary study of human
spirituality in all its forms and one of the most profound works of
Psychology ever written. When the book was published in 1902 the
study of the human mind was a thrillingly new field of scientific
enquiry: James was one of the first to seriously examine the
psychology of religious faith and where he led, both Jung and Freud
would follow. Yet for all its historical significance, this is a
book full of humanity, wit and some deeply personal stories of
revelation, religious devotion and mystical experience. The
Routledge Classics edition of The Varieties of Religious Experience
makes available in paperback for the first time the Centenary
Edition published by Routledge in 2002 with new introductions on
the historical and contemporary significance of James' work and a
foreword by the author's grandson, Micky James.
In The Mystery of Personality: A History of Psychodynamic
Theories, acclaimed professor and historian Eugene Taylor
synthesizes the field s first century and a half into a rich,
highly readable account. Taylor situates the dynamic school in its
catalytic place in history, re-evaluating misunderstood figures and
events, re-creating the heady milieu of discovery as the concept of
"mental science" dawns across Europe, revisiting the widening rift
between clinical and experimental study (or the couch and the lab)
as early psychology matured into legitimate science.
Gradual but vital evolutions form the heart of this chronicle:
the ebb and flow of analytic theory and practice, the shift from
doctor-centered to client-centered therapy, the movement from
exclusionary to multidisciplinary, the evolving role of the
therapist. And as can be expected from the author, there is special
emphasis on the sublime in psychology: the philosophy/psychology
fusion of the New England transcendentalists, the battle between
spiritualism and science in 1880s America, and early versions of
today s spiritually-attuned therapies. Pivotal concepts and key
individuals covered are:
- Charcot, Janet, and the origins of dynamic personality theory
in the so-called French, Swiss, English, and American
psychotherapeutic axis.
- Person and personality: William James s "radical
empiricism"
- The rise of psychoanalysis: Freud, the Freudians, and the
Neo-Freudians
- Adler and Jung, who were never "students" of Freud: Toward,
within, and beyond the self
- Murray, Allport, and Lewin at Harvard in the 30s
- Culture and personality, pastoral counseling, and Gestalt
Psychology in New York in the 40s and 50s
- An Existential-humanistic and Transpersonally oriented depth
psychology in the 60s
- The current era: "science confronts itself," as neuroscience
enters the picture.
Students of psychology and its history will find in this
inspiring narrative both possibilities for further study and a new
appreciation of their own work. The Mystery of Personality: A
History of Psychodynamic Theories is a stimulating course conducted
by a master teacher."

including existence, uniqueness, and estimates of smoothness, as
well as other qualitative properties. Originally published in 1981.

At the turn of the twentieth century, William James was
America's most widely read philosopher. In addition to being one of
the founders of pragmatism, however, he was also a leading
psychologist and author of the seminal work, "The Principles of
Psychology" (1890). While scholars argue that James withdrew from
the study of psychology after 1890, Eugene Taylor demonstrates
convincingly that James remained preeminently a psychologist until
his death in 1910.
Taylor details James's contributions to experimental
psychopathology, psychical research, and the psychology of
religion. Moreover, Taylor's work shows that out of his scientific
study of consciousness, James formulated a sophisticated
metaphysics of radical empiricism. In light of historical
developments in psychology, as well as the current philosophic
implications of the neuroscience revolution related to the biology
of consciousness, Taylor argues that both the subject matter of
James's investigations and his metaphysics of radical empiricism
are just as important for psychology today as James believed they
were in his own time.
This book represents a major new contribution both to James
scholarship and to the history of American psychology. Although
philosophers have analyzed radical empiricism, this book is the
first to trace the development of radical empiricism as a
metaphysics addressed to psychologists. It is also the first to
show James's involvement in depth-psychology and psychotherapeutics
and to trace historical continuity between James's work on
consciousness and subsequent developments in psychoanalysis,
personality theory, and humanistic psychology.

Tuxedo was a cotton mill village that began when a mill was built
shortly at the close of the 1800's. Located in Henderson County the
cotton mill soon became the areas largest employer. The History of
Tuxedo was written by Fredrick Eugene Taylor to fulfill
requirements for his Masters Degree from Furman University. The
book carefully details the area history from the late 1800's to
1967. The Green River Library Committee added his work to a
compilation of other local history from 1967 to 2004 along with
synopsis of local authors and storytellers. the completed work was
done as a fund raiser for the Green River Branch Library.

This book explores some basic roles of Lie groups in linear
analysis, with particular emphasis on the generalizations of the
Fourier transform and the study of partial differential equations.
It began as lecture notes for a one-semester graduate course given
by the author in noncommutative harmonic analysis. It is a valuable
resource for both graduate students and faculty, and requires only
a background with Fourier analysis and basic functional analysis,
plus the first few chapters of a standard text on Lie groups. The
basic method of noncommutative harmonic analysis, a generalization
of Fourier analysis, is to synthesize operators on a space on which
a Lie group has a unitary representation from operators on
irreducible representation spaces.Though the general study is far
from complete, this book covers a great deal of the progress that
has been made on important classes of Lie groups. Unlike many other
books on harmonic analysis, this book focuses on the relationship
between harmonic analysis and partial differential equations. The
author considers many classical PDEs, particularly boundary value
problems for domains with simple shapes, that exhibit
noncommutative groups of symmetries. Also, the book contains
detailed work, which has not previously been published, on the
harmonic analysis of the Heisenberg group and harmonic analysis on
cones.
