ISBN: 9780140390346 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 576 PUBLICATION DATE: 28.04.1983 DIMENSIONS: 196mmX128mmX28mm 380grams

DESCRIPTION: William James was a member of the generation that founded American psychology and philosophy; his work in both these fields placed James in the forefront of the intellectual and cultural ferment that marked late 19th century America. In this classic work, he turned his attention to the psychology of religion. He examines such phenomena as conversion, repentance, mysticism, and saintliness; his observations and theoretical speculation are accompanied by personal accounts of religious experience. James believed that organized religion stifled the natural religious impulse; his belief in personal experience as the only true source of religious feeling led to a remarkable tolerance for extreme forms of religious behavior.
