William James's Hidden Religious Imagination: A Universe of Relations

Jeremy Carrette

4.9/5 (34166 ratings)

Description:This book offers a radical new reading of William Jamess work on the idea of religion. Moving beyond previous psychological and philosophical interpretations, it uncovers a dynamic, imaginative, and critical use of the category of religion. This work argues that we can only fully understand Jamess work on religion by returning to the ground of his metaphysics of relations and by incorporating literary and historical themes. Author Jeremy Carette develops original perspectives on the influence of Jamess father and Calvinism, on the place of the body and sex in James, on the significance of George Eliots novels, and Herbert Spencers unknown, revealing a social and political discourse of civil religion and republicanism and a poetic imagination at the heart of James understanding of religion. These diverse themes are brought together through a post-structural sensitivity and a recovery of the importance of the French philosopher Charles Renouvier to Jamess work. This study pushes new boundaries in Jamesian scholarship by reading James "with" pluralism and from the French tradition. It will be a benchmark text in the reshaping of James and the nineteenth-century foundations of the modern study of religion.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
