Book synopsis

This is a collection of articles on William James's (1842-1910) philosophy of religion and its current relevance authored by a team of international experts. Famous for his work in psychology, James was the founder of the philosophical movement known as pragmatism as well as an early classic in religious studies. A new look at his philosophy of religion is crucially important for the development of this field of inquiry today. The book offers novel investigations of James's philosophy of religion and its contemporary importance as well as his controversial 'will to believe' argument in particular. Thus, for instance, both the account of religious experience in James's Varieties and the debate on the ethics of belief are illuminated.
