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.
First published in 1902, The Varieties of Religious Experience initiated the psychological study of religion, paving the way for Freud and Jung as well as for clinical and paranormal branches of psychology. Written with humour and erudition, its theories of conversion, saintliness, ecstasy and mysticism continue to provoke controversy and enquiry. The book remains the best introduction to James's thought, demonstrating his characteristic insistence upon the importance of personal experience and his almost devotional respect for the mysteries of the human mind. Richly illustrated with personal accounts of belief and possession, intoxication and near-death experience, it is of central importance not simply to an understanding of religions, but to modern psychology and psychiatric medicine. The Routledge Centenary Edition, entirely reset from the original 1902 edition, is prefaced with a specially commissioned foreword by the author's grandson, Micky James, and with new introductions from James specialists Eugene Taylor and Jeremy Carrette. It also includes a new and expanded index.
第一次看到这本书的时候,我的心情正好在一个非常舒服的状态,而且在《刀锋》和《维特根斯坦传》里,我对詹姆斯的心理学已经有了印象。最后也是最重要的,因为最近我看到了理性之外的东西,也对宗教尤其是基督教有了不象以前那么狭隘的看法。 当然我理解这本书的思路还是理性...
评分"Modern psychology, finding definite psycho-physical connections to hold good, assumes as a convenient hypothesis that the dependence of mental states upon bodily conditions must be thoroughgoing and complete. If we adopt the assumption, then of course what...
评分第一次听说这本书是大学时候,有位同学听了哲学院一门课,回来强烈推荐。当时借来看了百十来页没看下去。之后没事会想起来看,但都没再看。这次是因为看到沃格林在文章中提到詹姆斯,虽然沃格林认为詹姆斯还没有发觉柏拉图的价值,但已经是他那个时代的佼佼者了。想着沃格林的...
评分 评分两种接受世界的方式,宗教比哲学较为热烈。宗教能克服不快乐。在宗教内,感情是首要的,哲学居于次要地位。 任何我们叫做“宗教”的态度,必须含有肃穆的、严重的并慈柔的成分。假如态度是欢喜的,那么,它必须不至于冷笑或暗笑;假如是愁苦的,必须不至于绝叫或咒诅。我们所...
