William James’s Varieties of Religious Experience
AMST3932W001 3 points.

William James’s Varieties of Religious Experience is a classic in two fields: the history of religious thought and American studies.  This course will be devoted to a careful reading of this work (and several short ones) in order to pose the question: is there a typical American approach to religious psychology?  And, if so, what relation might it bear to larger currents in American thought?
