English | 2004 | pages: 149 | ISBN: 0231132042, 0231132050 | PDF | 0,8 mb
The "science of religion" is an important element in the interpretation of William James’s work and in the methodology of the study of religion. An authority on pragmatism and the philosophy of religion, Wayne Proudfoot and a stellar group of contributors from a variety of disciplines including religion, philosophy, psychology, and history, bring innovative perspectives to James’s work. Each contributor focuses on a specific theme in The Varieties of Religious Experience and suggests how James’s treatment of that theme can fruitfully be brought to bear, sometimes with revisions or extensions, on current debate about religious experience.

James Joyce and Cultural Genetics The Joycean Genome

English | October 19, 2023 | ISBN: 1350169889 | True EPUB | 242 pages | 0.7 MB
As a genetic study, this book uncovers the creative DNA of James Joyce’s oeuvre by looking at the cultural forces that shaped him and that he in turn shaped in the creation of his books, developing a two-way relationship with history, memory and national identity. Following his development as an author, it revisits and redirects Joyce’s attitudes towards the Irish Revival. From Chamber Music, through Ulysses to Finnegans Wake Joyce sought to define a cultural identity that went, in many respects, against the mainstream, but that nonetheless belonged to the wider Revivalist project with which it shared certain characteristics and aspirations.
