The ‘science of religion’ is an important element in the interpretation of William James’s work and in the methodology of the study of religion. An authority on pragmatism and the philosophy of religion, Wayne Proudfoot and a stellar group of contributors from a variety of disciplines including religion, philosophy, psychology, and history, bring innovative perspectives to James’s work. Each contributor focuses on a specific theme in
The Varieties of Religious Experience and suggests how James’s treatment of that theme can fruitfully be brought to bear, sometimes with revisions or extensions, on current debate about religious experience.
