Philosophy and Religion

The Varieties of Religious Experience came about as the result of William James's legendary lecture series at The University of Edinburgh. It consisted of 20 Lectures, 2 courses of 10 lectures each.

As part of the canon of modern philosophy and psychology, these lectures are both classic and relevant.
