The Varieties of Religious Experience (The Works of William James)

"The 'Varieties' has probably been, over the years, James's most popular book, read even after his functionalist psychology was superseded by behaviorism and when his pragmatist philosophy was in eclipse. It is composed primarily of case histories, collected from all around the world and organized by category....[I]t looks, it in other words, like a psychology textbook, and that is because it is a psychology textbook. The 'Varieties' is not a study of religion; it is, as the subtitle states, 'a study in human nature.'"William James is the author of 'The Varieties of Religious Experience (The Works of William James)', published 1985 under ISBN 9780674932258 and ISBN 0674932250.
