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.
注意:相对于制度化宗教,本书探讨的是个人的宗教经验。 在本书中所要讨论的宗教定义是—— 个人独自产生的某些感情、行为和经验,使他觉得自己与他所认为的神圣对象发生关系。 这是一本两头都不讨好的书。它在极端的信徒面前展现了对制度化宗教和经院宗教哲学的批判,在极端的...

評分威廉•詹姆斯(William James)在《宗教经验之种种》(The Varieties of Religious Experience)里把各种刻板的宗教教义、制度等放在一边,而将个人对圣灵的体验与情感放在了第一位。在此,笔者想引出自身在一次天主弥撒仪式中的个人宗教经验,来结合《宗教经验之种种》(以...
評分原载《文景》2010年1、2月合刊 詹氏《宗教经验种种》在西方已经成为经典,中国学术界还缺少重视。虽然上世纪唐钺先生已经译出,于1947年由商务印书馆出版,但研究者寥寥。现今,新建君发大志愿重译之,以为当下语境读者之需,还写出长篇学术导言,难得也。詹氏不仅...
評分作者是从宗教心理学的角度(仍然是自然科学的角度)进行分析宗教中的个别现象,心理学的研究对象要么是天才,要么是白痴。心理学的思想就是从不同的学术研究的角度表达自己的观点,有点类似中国传统的五行生克理论,只要你能说得通。那都是对的。或者说就没有黑白,对错。这本...

评分很重要的作品,但在強調personal和conversion的同時將institutional的影響完全排除,而忽視瞭宗教終究是個集體的行為
