Introduzione al libro

The Varieties of Religious Experience

The Varieties of Religious Experience studies religion through individual experience rather than institution alone, examining conversion, mysticism, saintliness, divided selves, melancholy, prayer, and spiritual transformation. William James combines psychology, philosophy, biography, and pragmatism to ask what religious experience means and what effects it has in human life.

  4. 04PREFACE.
  5. 05LECTURE I. RELIGION AND NEUROLOGY.
  6. 06LECTURE II. CIRCUMSCRIPTION OF THE TOPIC.
  7. 07LECTURE III. THE REALITY OF THE UNSEEN.
  8. 08I let a few other cases follow at random:—
  9. 09LECTURES IV AND V. THE RELIGION OF HEALTHY‐MINDEDNESS.
  10. 10LECTURES VI AND VII. THE SICK SOUL.
  11. 11LECTURE VIII. THE DIVIDED SELF, AND THE PROCESS OF ITS UNIFICATION.
  12. 12LECTURE IX. CONVERSION.
  13. 13LECTURE X. CONVERSION—CONCLUDED.
  14. 14I just now quoted Billy Bray; I cannot do better than give his own brief account of his post‐conversion feelings:—
  15. 15LECTURES XI, XII, AND XIII. SAINTLINESS.
  16. 16I find an excellent description of this state of mind in a sermon by Mr. Voysey:—
  17. 17LECTURES XIV AND XV. THE VALUE OF SAINTLINESS.
  18. 18I will waste no more words, then, in abstract justification of my method, but seek immediately to use it upon the facts.
  19. 19LECTURES XVI AND XVII. MYSTICISM.
  20. 20I could easily give more instances, but one will suffice. I take it from the Autobiography of J. Trevor.(239)
  21. 21M. Schmölders has translated a part of Al‐Ghazzali’s autobiography into French:(246)—
  22. 22I will take up these points one by one.
