It ranks with its great predecessor, \u003ci\u003eThe Principles of Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e, as one of William James's masterworks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is not concerned with institutional religion. Its subtitle is \"A Study in Human Nature,\" and James defines his subject as the feelings, acts, and experiences of individuals in relation to what they consider to be divine. His broad topics include the religion of healthy-mindedness; the sick soul; the divided self and its unification; conversion; saintliness; and mysticism. These and other phenomena are vividly documented by individual case histories--recorded in autobiographies, diaries, confessions, and similar writings--drawn from the whole range of world literature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eConstantly reprinted over the years, \u003ci\u003eVarieties\u003c\/i\u003e here appears for the first time in an edition prepared and annotated according to modern standards of textual scholarship. Manuscript material has been used to recover the form in which the last two lectures were originally delivered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674932250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674932258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/11\/1985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 6.40w x 1.63d","brand":"William James","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44829308027135,"sku":"9780674932258","price":176.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_690f389c-ebaa-4965-a7b1-c34fe3ce457d.jpg?v=1708450422","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-works-of-william-james-william-james-9780674932258","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
