The Varieties of Religious Experience

The Varieties of Religious Experience pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

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.

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...

《宗教经验种种》基本上是以西方的神秘体验为案例,而西方的神秘体验基本上是以上帝的存在为背景的,西方人,许是情感强烈的缘故,灵魂的救赎多是以上帝临现开始的。 而在东方甚至没有神秘主义的说法,在佛教中,那些神秘体验和神通能力只是修行过程中的一种客观表象。不同...

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...

很重要的作品,但在强调personal和conversion的同时将institutional的影响完全排除,而忽视了宗教终究是个集体的行为
